Benefits of not wearing a bra

In addition to reducing the risk of breast cancer, going braless also has many health benefits.

Improved bust size

Your bust will not be squeezed and hugged when not wearing a bra. This helps your bust have space to develop. In addition, when the body moves, not wearing a bra will cause the bust to adjust itself to resist the impact and movement, making the chest muscles become firmer. This helps the bust to be fuller and rounder.

Bring a good night's sleep

Sleeping 'free' will help you avoid being entangled by the straps and underwires of your shirt when you turn over, limit the impact and pressure on your heart, and improve the condition of chest tightness and shortness of breath when you lie on your side. These things help you sleep deeper and 'better'.

Improve blood circulation

'Going braless' helps the body not be compressed by straps and underwire, so blood circulation and energy in the body will be more favorable.

Increases the body's ability to eliminate toxins

Wearing a bra that is too tight, the skin is stuffy, the chest area is constantly tightly bound, making it difficult for the sweat glands in the body to exchange. This creates favorable conditions for harmful bacteria to grow. Therefore, 'freeing' the bust will help the sweat glands work more easily, helping to eliminate toxins, reduce the risk of disease, and help the immune system and resistance develop.
