Mar 27 On the bright side: Boob edition

Throughout this whole social-distancing/stay-at-home situation, I’ve only worn a “real” bra three or four times (max) in the last two weeks. A majority of my time is spent in a sports bra or one of my “sleep” bras, and believe me, I’m not complaining. Though I don’t personally feel comfortable hanging loose around the house, I have amazing news for those of you who do…

I’m sure I’m not the only one who has long believed that not wearing a bra can lead to sagging (having babies certainly doesn’t help)—but we may have been wrong all this time. According to this article from Well + Good, here are the potential upsides of going bra-less:

With time, your chest and back muscles may step up to support your breasts—potentially making them rounder and perkier
Less constriction can increase blood circulation and ease back pain
Less irritation from friction and rubbing where your bra sits on the skin
Being more comfortable—PERIOD

For those of you who are on the larger breast side, it’s very possible that you’re physically uncomfortable without some support—but there are plenty of comfortable wireless options that are perfect for sheltering from home. Check out these from Lively, ThirdLove and Amazon(!)…

Stay healthy and comfy!
