Young Teen College Girl Without Brassiere

Women with large breasts may experience upper back, shoulder, and neck pain no matter what size or style bra they wear, leading some to seek breast reduction surgery. However, breast-reduction surgery incurs risks as well. The woman may be left with less sensitivity in the nipple, a decrease in sexual response, and a significant reduction or complete loss of milk supply after surgery.
• Bra-free relief
According to a study published in the Clinical Study of Pain, large-breasted women can reduce back pain by going braless. Of the women participating in the study, 79% decided to stop wearing bras completely.
In a five-year study, 100 women who experienced shoulder pain were given the option to alleviate the weight on their shoulders by not wearing a bra for two weeks. In that two-week period, a majority experienced relief from pain. Relief was complete among 84% of women who did not elevate their arms. However, their pain symptoms returned within an hour of resuming bra use. Three years later, 79% of the patients had stopped wearing a bra "to remove breast weight from the shoulder permanently because it rendered them symptom free." Sixteen percent worked in occupations requiring them to elevate their arms daily, and this group only achieved partial improvement. Of these, 13 of the 16 ceased to wear a bra, and by six months all were without pain.
