The problem is, people often don't try on their bras! While I was measured and know what my official size is, I have to try on because not every manufacturer makes their bras the same. I have cups ranging from D to E (measured a high DD) - they all fit the same but are sized differently. Even if you are buying the exact same bra, you need to change because you never know if the sizing has changed.

I haven't been "firm" since I was 12 years old and only a C cup. Except for a few miracles of genetics, you end up trading perkiness for size. Bras had nothing to do with it!

Bras make the breast give up it's natural support, the tissues just give up.
Think about having your arm or leg in a cast for months and apon removal how limp and useless the limb became.
Natural support is useless if your wife is pregnant and give birth and that's the end of the natural breast.

I don't know what you mean by "all the way through the link", but if you meant going to the "Q&A" I didn't, in reality I'm not interested in seeing what they have to say about because it's NOT going to change my mind, to me it fits with the logic of how the human body works, besides, like I already mentioned it's something I've seen the benefit of with my own eyes. And the study was probably the one they refer to conducted by the researchers who wrote the book, and again, I don't care if it was not "peer reviewed, etc.", it just made sense to me and that's all that I need. For centuries humans have treated many diseases successfully without the excessive modern dependence on studies and tests, there was such a thing as common sense and general observation that was much valued even by most doctors of the previous generation, thank you. And if you ask me, I don't think we're really doing that much better, it's true people live longer now as compared to recent centuries, but we also have a lot of diseases inflicted by our environment and/or lifestyle for which doctors have no cure for so so much for science...
Based solely on your posts in this thread alone, your "logic of how the human body works" translates loosely into..."I have no idea how the human body works but this sounds good to me so lets go with it"

Human anatomy and physiology is a scientific discipline based like all such disciplines on the scientific method. Making a hypothesis and proving or disproving said hypothesis by means of experiments and observations.

There are no scientific studies that back your "hypothesis" of how bras might restrict lymph flow (utter nonsense) nor your "observations" on deodorants/antiperspirants.

Therefore your "logic of how the body works" can be treated as the absolute drivel it represents.

Maybe thats the difference....I always try mine on. If it doesnt pass the comfort test and the 'Hop' test, it doesnt leave the store. And before you ask, the 'hop' test is when you hop around a little in the dressing room to see if it holds you still enough or not.

There is no link between wearing a bra and breast cancer. This is a myth that has been popping up in discussions for decades.

Breast cancer has been around for centuries. The bra in its current form was introduced around the 1930's. There is no known scientific data to support the claim.

So ladies, feel free to wear your bras.

Or feel free to not wear them, but ditch them because you feel more comfortable, not because it's supposedly healthier.

There is archaeological evidence to show breast cancer existed in at least 2,000 years BC.

Victoris Secert will do a free fitting..it's amazing how many women have never been fitted for a bra.
Not all women can afford $75 to $100 for a bra. There are a few rules of fitting yourself for a bra. It's not hard to do.
