French study: Bras make breasts saggier

Results from a 15-year study published Wednesday conclude that bras are a “false necessity” that provide no benefits to breasts, The Local reported.

“Medically, physiologically, anatomically – breasts gain no benefit from being denied gravity,” said the study’s author, University of Besançon Prof. Jean-Denis Rouillon. “On the contrary, they get saggier with a bra.”

Rouillon, a sports science expert, took measurements from 130 women during the life of the study.

One woman who participated told The Local she can “breathe more easily. I carry myself better and I have less back pain.”
