True or false: Underwire bras cause cancer

 

Check these out, too...

  • Will my yeast infection go away by itself?
  • Why do my fingers turn red when I'm cold?
  • 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 want to wear a bikini this summer, i'm not hout of shape or anything... but i have large breasts, and i'm worried that my breasts will fall out of the bikini top. my mother is taking me to a special store, where the bikinis are suited for large-chested women and girls, but i still can't help but worry. i am a pretty modest person when it comes to clothes, and this will be my first bikini experience... and i don't want to be the girl who has a boob issue at the pool.




hey! just make SURE that the one you buy fits and you should be fine Smile

MOD MOD MOD MOD I want to wear mascara. If I put it on when we are not going anywhere, my mom will tell me to take it off. How can I convince my mom to let me wear make up?

Is it weird that i dont get cramps or headaches during my period? I have never felt sick or had moodswings either. Is there anything wrong? i have heard that those things mean your body is healthy, and im scared that since i dont get any of that my body isnt healthy. HELP!!




hey! not necessarily, you should talk to your doctor to get the straight facts. good luck!

so, summers coming. and i LOVE bikinis, and i found the cutest string bikini at abercrombie kids! i'm toned everywhere..except for my stomach. i've worn bikinis berfore, but i'm wondering if people would stare at a girl in a bikini with a chubby tummy. also, im 12 and 3 months old. im 5 foot 6 and 1/2 inches, i weigh 135 lbs, and i wear a 34b. i wear an xl and size 16 in abercrombie kids, is that fat. also, is my bra size big or small for my age and is my weight normal (i aslo have heavy bones, and muscular legs)




hey! no no one will stare, you're gonna look great!
