Hi everyone.
Hoping someone can shed some light on this little dilemma for me. Just wondering if it is best to wear a bra or not to wear a bra around home whilst on NBE. Have heard arguments for and against, such as wearing a bra will restrict growth and not wearing a bra may increase droopiness. Now I am totally confused because I am already small and already droopy. HELP PLEASE !!!!!?

Hey diana, i'm a bit confused about thw whole bra thing too. Personally i do see how it can restrict growth unless you wear one thats too small for for and there for being tight and restricting blood flow. Lots os peoples boobs who havnt been on NBE, breasts have grown quite alot with them wearing bras.

Its best to go without a bra whenever possible. The lymph glands can drain and circulate( clean out toxins) better with any kind of bra. Exercise and message helps clear out any toxins. The glands work on muscle contraction, movement basis. Without proper drainage and circulation, Lymph glands become sluggish which would greatly stunt any NBE efforts.

I think it's fine to wear a bra almost all the time, as I have friends who do this and are C's and D's. However, I sleep without one...it is more comfortable, and you should let the skin at least breath there, or your skin won't be getting enough oxygen, etc.
Just seems to make the most sense to me.

Since I never had enough boobs to wear a bra I can only chip in with my mom's experience. As for getting saggy with a bra, my mom only ever wore hers half a day since she worked part time and never one with underwire. She is nearly sixty now and past menopause and still has lovely round boobs that aren't saggy. She must be about a B or C cup, I am not sure but her boobs never have changed much since I was small and she breast fed for about 10 months or so.
She swears that not wearing a bra has helped her boobs stay in shape, and to me it somehow makes sense. If you always wear a bra the tissue is going to get used to being carried and will lose elasticity and get saggy.
Also, as Snowflake pointed out it is much better for breast health to give your boobs and lymph glands as much space as possible.
I would leave the bra off when you don't need it just for general breast health since it is hard to tell if it would hinder growth.

THANKS EVERYONE !

My mum always told me to wear a bra during the day when I was growing up, but she is a 38DD or E so I guess she had bigger expectations for me instead of a sad little A/B. My sister is at least a D after 2 pregnancies (didn't breast feed) but wears crop tops a lot so is pretty saggy. So genetically I should have had some chance, the only thing I did differently was playing a lot of sport from the age of 8 - maybe that affected things. I never wear a bra to bed and being a stay at home mum, going without during the day will not be a problem. Thanks for all your replies and HAPPY GROWING TO YOU ALL !!!!

Most girls/women i know wear a bra during the day but dont sleep in them, and they are all a wide range of sizes so i dont think it makes much of a difference. I guess it depends on the individual. I'd have thought that wearing a bra too small could hinder growth but i was at school with someone who was wearing an A cup, then found out they were wearing a bra 2 sizes too smal and theys till grew another cup size. *sigh* lifes so unfair lol

Bras and NBE
November 23 2006, 5:41 AM
I began wearing a padded push up bra when I was 15. I wouldn't leave the house without it for years. When I was 22 I began to notice a soar hard spot developing on the under right side of my right breast (the bigger one). I went on line to do some research because the scare of cancer crossed my mind and this thing felt pretty big. I found a website (which I have posted a link for below) from a female doctor who was conducting a study on bras and breast fibrosystic disease. I found out I was pregnant shortly after I signed up for participation in the study. Of course when you are pregnant your breasts get soar, especially during the first trimester. The study was 6 weeks long and you couldn't wear a bra, at all. It felt strange the first couple of weeks, but the spot went away and so did the soarness. I decided not to wear a bra anymore after that. I haven't worn one on a regular basis since then, and the spot has never returned. When I put on a bra now it's terribly uncomfortable, and I realize now how unnecessary it is. My breasts didn't get saggy until after I had my child and breastfed, naturally, but my breasts stayed firm without the bra during my pregnancy. My husband commented on how much softer they felt since I quit wearing the man made torture device! I had breast fibrosystic disease and I firmly believe the bra caused it. There is much speculation about the link between fibrocystic disease and cancer. whether or not to wear a bra is a personal choice, I personally wouldn't advise it, and if you absolutely feel that you must wear one, don't wear it for prolonged periods of time and invest in a spandex sports bra.
The following links will give you plenty of information about bras and breasts and I believe anyone attempting to enhance their breasts naturally can benefit from the information they give. Lots of luck to you!
