Yes, it is a common misconception that not wearing a bra can cause your breasts to drop over time. However, this is not entirely true. The drooping of breasts, also known as ptosis, is mostly influenced by factors such as aging, genetics, and pregnancy rather than whether or not you wear a bra regularly. Wearing a properly fitting and supportive bra can provide temporary lift and shape to the breasts while being worn but does not have a significant long-term impact on preventing breast sagging.
It’s important to note that the level of support provided by your bra can affect the appearance of your breasts in clothing and overall comfort. To ensure proper support and fit, I recommend getting fitted for a bra at least once a year or whenever you notice changes in your body size or shape. Choosing bras with features like wide straps, underwire construction, and firm elastic bands can help provide better support for the bust.
A less-known fact about wearing bras is that they are designed to prevent discomfort from breast movement during physical activity as well as provide shaping under clothing. Knowing how to choose the right sports bra for different types of exercise activities is crucial for maintaining breast comfort and health during workouts. If you’re unsure about which sports bra would be best for your specific needs, I highly suggest consulting with our staff who are trained in fitting sports bras to help you find the perfect one.
Remember: A well-fitted bra will always give you confidence.
