When it comes to women dressing, then every aspect plays a
significant role. Even bras have a vital role in the determination of
your body shape and fashion sense.
Wearing the right material bra with the size that suits you best is
free from all danger. But somehow bras have some
disadvantages too, and it arises when you are wearing a bra all
the time or wearing a tight bra.
Wearing a tight bra gives enhanced bust and also support and
perfect shape to your body; at the same time, it provides mild
hazards that can lead to significant damage later on. But not
wearing a bra also has a stumbling block in itself.

So first, have a look at the drawbacks of wearing a tight bra.
The following are the drawbacks that are not only myths; it is a
research-based study conducted by various universities.

Breast cancer:
Although wearing a bra gives shape that you desire but when you
wear it beyond the limit, then prepare yourself for some health
hazard. And when you are wearing a tight bra, the hazard rate
increased to a great extent. Harvard University conducted a study
that reveals tight bras leads to breast cancer.
The main reason for this is because straps of tight bra can stop or
reduce the blood circulation rate. As a resulting impairment of
lymph tissues occurs.

Breast cancer:
As we all know, blood is the only supplying source of oxygen and
nutrients to cell. So when blood circulation hinders, tissue damage
also starts. Blood flushes with itself the waste material produced
during cell reaction and the dead cell produced after apoptosis. As
a result, harmful content remains intact in their place, and after a
few times, the pile of such waste builds up that lead to breast
cancer. So wearing a bra for more than 12 hours a day or even
sleep with them is too harmful to health.

Breast cancer:
Lymph vessels in direct contact with breasts are fragile and too
sensitive to pressure and can be easily pressed. The vital role of
lymph vessels is to flush away waste materials and other harmful
toxins from the breast, hence reducing breast cancer chances. So
wearing bras for a more extended time can potentially harm
lymph duty. As a result, toxins accumulate in the breast, leading
to the development of cancerous cells.

Breast cancer:
According to gynecologist Dr. Smithi Kamath, most health-
conscious women believe that if they exercise regularly and eat
healthy food, they have no chances of breast cancer. But when
the doctor told that they could have breast cancer if wearing a
wrong size or too tight bra they were shocked. Dr. said lymphatic
vessel work is dependent on the movement of lymphatic muscles.
But bra constricts the movement of breast hence significant
restriction in working of lymphatic vessels.

Breast cancer:
There is a myth that obese women are more likely to be a victim
of breast cancer. According to myth, obesity is the primary reason,
but the idea is that obese people have large breasts. And they
have to wear tight bras to lift the weight of this big breast so that
they do not gain weight on their neck and back, which is the
cause of pain. As a result, on one side, they reduce the pain but on
the other hand, also increasing risk factors of breast cancer.

Tight bras also have one more disadvantage. Straps of too close bras
restrict the movement of two vertebrae of the spine. Spines are designed to
move, bend, and rotate, but when straps are tight on the spine, they cause
the restriction of spine movement and stiffness. Hence backache, and then
leads to down the back.

Shortness of
breath:
Research reveals too tight bra leads to shortness of breath. But if shortness of
breath didn’t occur, then the quality of breath reduces. And this happens because
bras are on the ribs and ribs have lungs. Lungs, we all know the organ that
inhales or exhale air from body. So during this process, lungs swell and contract,
causing the ribs to move up and down. So if wearing a too-tight bra then leads to
restriction in bones movement; as a result, lungs can’t function properly. So
wearing a tight bra leads to shortness of breath.

11.
Disturbance in the
sleep-wake cycle:
Not wearing bras of perfect size leads to severe problems.
Either you are wearing tight or lose
bras, both have some health hazards.
The study was done in 2000 revealed that wearing a bra or any
other tight dress during the night can affect the person's sleep-
wake cycle. Tight-fitting wears put pressure on body parts that
increase body temperature, and as a result production of
melatonin decreases. Melatonin is the only hormone in the body
that is regulating the sleep-wake cycle. And if there is any
reduction in its output, then the quality of sleep is greatly
influenced.

Headache:
SF
When you are wearing a loosely fitting bra that cannot carry breast weight, it
also leads to a problem. Hence breast weight is on the neck and upper back
muscles. They have to work hard to bring their weight. More work by the neck
and upper back, more work by the brain, hence causing headaches.

13.
Breast muscle pain:
SF
You are doing some physical activity like exercise or something else without a bra
can lead to a massive pain in breast muscles. Reducing weight with the help of
exercise can reduce breast cancer, but performing the exercise without bra
ensues the pain. Researchers say that that breast move almost 8cm even if you
are doing a moderate workout, so think about the pain you will feel afterward.
Therefore wear a bra that is properly fitted and supports your breast during an
exercise.

14.
Conclusion
Wear a bra but the one that is perfect for you. Wearing the wrong size bra or not
wearing bra both has disadvantages. So always wear a bra that supports the
breast and reduces connected pains with it.
