Wire-free Bras & Breast Health
Still wearing underwire bras? Girls we need to talk.
Ok gals…. OMG thank God its 2023 and not 1923 where woman were contorted into ghastly uncomfortable corsets then a few years later breasts were poured into pointy scratchy nylon and lifted as high as possible.!. And if that was not uncomfortable enough the underwire wonder bra came out in the 70s and our bust was contorted sideways and upways…., I won’t get started about how many models have broken their legs pacing up and down in stilettos shoes. And now in 2023 the white sandshoes are the go-to for almost every woman of every age for any time of the day… (well that’s me anyway lol)
Here at Bella Bodies, we have known this for many years and began creating underwire free Bamboo bras around 2012. Beautiful shaping, breathable supportive and gorgeous Bras that you do not feel you are even wearing.
There is so much more to know about wire free bras.
The discomfort underwire bras cause (we all know those red marks and the amazing relief when you finally undo that back clasp!) could actually be causing harm to your body. It makes sense when you think about it – something pushing constantly against one area for so many hours every day can limit the body’s ability to function well in that area. For me have the hard edge of the bra on a hot summer days chafing against the soft skin of my underarm was most annoying .You can google some of the health reasons why long-term wearing of underwire bras is not so great for your breast health.
