Research suggests bras do no good
Bras do nothing to help support a woman’s breasts and could even be doing damage, research has found.

For years, women have been taught of the virtues of a good bra in order to make the most of their assets and defy the pull of gravity.

Now a French study has claimed that in fact breasts gain no benefit from underwear support, and that women would do better to go without.

Professor Jean-Denis Rouillon of Besançon University spent 15 years studying the anatomy of 330 women, before coming to the radical conclusion that bras are a “false necessity”.

Can't argue with science.

Burned mine years ago.

Man boobs?

Most of us blokes would suggest that the good professor's paper should be mandatory reading for all women. And from my observations, I'd suggest that thick blouse material is no good for the boobies either. Thin blouses, no bras.

(Did I just hear someone crack a whip? )

This professor chappie examined womens' breasts for 15 years to see whether the wearing of a bra was beneficial?

Who funded this research - the state or private sponsors?

I personally disagree with him on some aspects of this study - for instance women with larger breasts have told me of the absolute necessity of having good support systems, otherwise there is a grave risk of tripping over the swinging flesh.

As French women are notorious for having a pair of fried eggs, or at best a couple of Cox's Orange Pippins, then this study may have been flawed from the outset. 36AA are not the same as 40DDD.

I am now seeking funds for a follow-up study that analyses all aspects - size, age, droop and so on.

This will be combined with a follow-up study on the attractiveness of male penises to the test subjects, to confirm or not the Australian study referred to in another current thread.

According to secret research it has been determined that a simple tight white t-shirt improves popularity, confidence, and overall success in life.

Especially when wet.

Not worth the struggle of getting the damn thing on.

And after it's been through a Thai washing process it is no longer tight. It's either shrunk or gone wide and short.
