True or false: Underwire bras cause cancer

 

Check these out, too...

  • Will my yeast infection go away by itself?

  • Do guys only care about chest size?
  • Why is my tummy so rumbly?
  • My nipples won't make up their minds
My mom won't let me buy an underwire bra because she says they give you breast cancer. Is this true? I’m really sick of wearing wireless bras…

 

The notion that underwire bras give you breast cancer popped up in the ‘90s, and thankfully, it’s just a myth. The idea was that underwire trapped toxins in the breast tissue, which could cause cancer, according to Scientific American.

 

Thankfully, that theory has never been supported by any research. Doctors point to the fact that it’s easier to demonize innocent things like bras instead of focusing on the more likely factors, such as hormones.

 

Phew!

I hate underwire bras!! They are itchy and uncomfy. I would rather wear a bra with cups but no underwire haha

MOD!!!!! So over the past few months, i've finally been able to lose weight. i've lost alot, (dont know how much, never looked at a scale) and so the band size for my bras that i had used for a year were much too big for me. i recently went bra shopping; when i first went i thought i would be a 34B rather than a 36B, but it turns out that while i did go down a band size, i went up a cup size to a 34C. so does this mean that weight has nothing to do with breast size?? just curious....

 

 

Hey girly! When you're young, you're still growing, so it's totally normal to lose weight, yet go up a cup size Smile

I got to hear guys talking about underwire bras and it was so hilarious. They couldnt understand why we would need wire put in a part of our underwear and how if it bent it would make our boobs look lopsided. Guys can be kind of ignorant at times, they have no idea about certain things.
