Everyone, Please be careful with the requests for pics in this thread. We DO NOT need anyone banned or pics of the damaged ligaments.

The previous version was that tight push-ups like the WonderBra restricted lymphatic flow and led to breast cancer.

So it’s just ligament damage. Who knew.

I always thought older women let them sag on purpose so they could put bag balm on their knees and breasts at the same time.

My grandmother always warned us to wear supportive bras or we’d develop “Cooper’s droop.” We weren’t sure what that was, but we sure didn’t want to get it, LOL. Sounds like there’s now scientific research to back up what my grandma knew 40 years ago.

What they found was that with most bras women’s breasts move up and down, in and out and from side to side, shifting an average of 8.26 inches, during exercise.

No comment.

This shot definitely demonstrates how a splash of color strategically applied to the front of the swimsuit can make a chubby person appear svelte.

Researchers from the University of Portsmouth in Hampshire, England found that wearing the wrong “support system” could lead to fragile ligaments in the breasts becoming irreparably stretched, the Daily Mail reported.

The same researchers will be offering women free inspections to determine the best support system for their needs. Said one researcher "We'll do anything for science."

It makes sense that not having support would lend to sagging.

The women in primitive African tribes that go topless definitely have a case of the longs.

My dear Mother offered 3 bits of advice when I hit my teens. 1. Stay out of the sun, 2. Moisturize, 3. Wear good bras. She said if I do those 3 things I will never regret it and was she ever right!!!
