Bras and growth of breasts and health
. Increasing age, gravity, weight gain and loss, and pregnancy are the major causes of change in the breast tissues. These changes influence the size and shape of a female’s breasts and they start to take place when females are in their teens. By the age of eighteen most of the females have had developed breasts; time enough for some of these factors to influence the size and shape of their breasts.
There is though increasing opinion wearing a bra could be harmful to health, if it is uncomfortable. Wearing a bra may result in painful cystic breast disease. Most females do not benefit physically from their use. Stretch marks may form when the breasts first develop during puberty and also after marriage during pregnancy, because of their rate of growth, not their ultimate size or lack of support.
Wearing a bra does not much affect the size and shape of the breasts when one is worn during puberty. The concept of a "training bra" is an advertising gimmick, so that teenage girls get used to Bra. Bras allow, or force females to mold their breasts into what society expects of them, to defy gravity and time.
A bra is no longer simply a bra, they are also symbols of womanhood, even more so than the breasts they conceal. This is demonstrated by the facts that 70-80% of females wear the wrong size, what fills them is sometimes of no importance, cup size has become a measure of a female's sex appeal, females who experience little or no breast development wear them, girls want to wear them prior to their breasts developing, and girls and females wear clothing that openly shows off their bra.
If females were truly concerned with function, would they wear the incorrect size? Does wearing a bra with "DD" on the tag really make you more of a female than one with "AA?" If girls are proud of their developing breasts and eager for people to notice, why do they hide them under a bra? Social and peer pressure plays a major part in a teen’s or female's decision to wear a bra, even if they personally do not benefit from them, may be uncomfortable and would prefer not to wear.
Free movement of the breasts and visible nipples are viewed by society as indications of a sexual female. Wearing a bra allows females to fulfill society's expectation of them. Society and peer groups currently allow females and teens to show off their bra, as if that makes sense. Bras that shape, lift, contain under-wires, prevent natural movement, make small breasts appear bigger, and large breasts appear smaller are best avoided.
Sports bras that hold the breasts snuggly, but not tightly, against the chest without altering their natural shape are perhaps the best choice. Pick the simplest bra available.Choose smooth, seamless, elastic cups that conform to your breasts rather than cups that force your breasts into an unnatural shape. They should be made of lightweight pure 100%cotton so they do not trap heat and moisture. If a teen or female chooses to wear a bra, she should limit the amount of time she keep wearing each day.
Instead of Bra, wear camisoles or feminine undershirts if you want to add color and lace to your wardrobe. If you do not benefit from a bra, it is perhaps best not to wear one. When relaxing at home and during sleeping, they should remove their bra to allow their breasts free movement and permit unrestricted circulation of body fluids within the breast. Females may massage their breasts to improve circulation.
Parents should delay for as long as possible the buying of their daughter's first bra, by providing her with the facts, and encourage them to remove their bra when at home. Feminine undershirts, camisoles may be a healthier means of acknowledging her budding breasts and entrance into puberty/teenage/adolescence.
