According to a renowned Doctor from Nigeria, Peter Njoku, a bra does women more harm that good.

Women over the years have been fed the false notion that wearing a bra prevents sagging of the breasts. Apart from firm support for sports women and preventing milk dripping in lactating women, the bra could be doing more harm than good.
Bras are said to combat sagging of breasts, especially those who are on the larger side. Aside from that, many of these bras are marketed to provide greater comfort and even less backaches.
“A bra will hold up your breasts to give you the shape and look you want, but it can't prevent further sagging, which is caused by age and gravity,” says Dr. Mills. It may make sagging worse.
For more than 15 years, from 1997 to 2014, Jean-Denis Rouillon, a French professor and sports science expert, has been studying women’s breast. He has discovered that those who wear a bra experience more sagging on average than those who don’t! Yes they do.
A full 7mm sag was observed after one year of wearing a bra, according to the French professor from the University Hospital of Besancon.
Professor Rouillon has found out that bras don’t offer real benefit to women even after many years of research. As a matter of fact, they cause more damage than those who have ditched the lady harness altogether.
The French professor conducted a study involving 335 volunteers who were aged 18 to 35 years old. At the first stage of the study, Rouillon’s medical team discovered that “free” women’s breasts stared much firmer than those who wore bras. Also, they didn’t have as much stretch marks.
The scientists used a device called a caliper to measure the distance between the breasts and position of the nipple. They also utilized a slide rule.
"Medically, physiologically, anatomically, breasts gain no benefit from being denied gravity," Rouillon said. This research was quite comprehensive and is considered the most complete study of the effect of bras on breasts, compared to other studies conducted in other parts of the world.
In 1990, Japanese scientists also experimented on the relationship between the breasts and bras. Their research study concluded that bras do not really offer anti-sagging benefits.
A 2007 study of 132 women also revealed that breast-feeding had no effect on the degree of breast sagging.
The Conclusion
Due to the findings of these studies performed by the French and Japanese medical teams, and from observation in other cultures, it is concluded that constant wearing of bras by young women will not provide benefits for the women's breasts.
This is because wearing a bra prevents the growth of supportive connective tissue and muscle which support the breasts naturally. Since the suspension muscles will not work correctly, the tissues slacken as you constantly wear a bra.
As a woman, this is something you don’t want to happen. If you want to prevent your breasts from drooping over time, it is recommended that you leave your bra behind and do regular exercises that firm your pectoralis muscles.
The research contradicts everything that bras and their brands claim. If you are a young woman and want to experience less drooping and you don’t want back pain, you should just leave your bra behind and please don’t buy a new one.
