Marilyn Monroe slept in a bra to keep her assets firm and perky, according to Hollywood lore. A new study out of France suggests it might have been more effective for the screen goddess to go "au naturel" instead.

Researchers spent 15 years studying the breasts of over 330 French women, and concluded that wearing a bra does not prevent sagging or ease back pain as commonly thought. "Medically, physiologically, anatomically—breasts gain no benefit from being denied gravity, Professor Jean-Denis Rouillon, from the University of Besançon, told France Info Radio. "On the contrary, they get saggier with a bra."

The breast is essentially fat and mammary glands, gravity will take its toll, especially on larger breasts.
Bras just keep you from smacking yourself in the face.

So, I guess having a bra to support them makes breasts lazy.

Therefore: bra = boob welfare. :)

The author of the study never spent time in the interior jungles of New Guinea.

Babies make tits sag ... women that bore no children have higher and firmer boobs.

Right. That's why all those National Geographic pics of Tribal females have perky breasts! :) Just an observation.

I think the study must be accurate. Just check those old National Geographics with the older African native women who have gone au naturel all of their lives.

I don’t believe it. I also don’t believe this study would change anything in the way women dress.

Having been married to a Lady with a more than ample cup size, I can assure doubters that the bra is most useful to prevent stretch marks.
