Bras do nothing to help support a woman’s breasts and could even be causing damage, research has found. 
The Telegraph of London reported on Friday that for years, women have
 been taught of the virtues of a good bra in order to make the most of 
their assets and defy the pull of gravity. 
 
Now a French study has claimed that breasts gain no benefit from 
underwear support and that women would do better to go without them. Professor Jean-Denis Rouillon of Besançon University spent 15 years 
studying the anatomy of 330 women, before coming to the conclusion that 
bras are a “false necessity.” 
Professor Rouillon said: “Medically, physiologically and anatomically, breasts gain no benefit from being denied gravity.” 
 
The study found that breasts were firmer and sagged less in the women
 who did not wear a bra, and such women were no more likely than others 
to suffer from back pain. 
The sports scientist, who has been researching the subject since 
1997, using a slide rule and a caliper, found a 7mm difference in the 
height of bosoms; with those who went without a bra faring best against 
gravity. 
Professor Rouillon suggested that breasts become “dependent” on 
lingerie support once women start wearing it, meaning that supporting 
muscle is under-used and degrades more quickly. 
 
He said his initial results “validated the hypothesis that the bra is
 a false ‘necessity’” but that he would not advise women who have relied
 on bras for years to cast them aside.” Some of the women who took part in the experiment, carried out at the
 Centre Hospitalier Universitaire (University Hospital) in Besançon, 
said stopping wearing a bra had even helped ease back pains. 
British research on post-menopausal women has previously suggested 
that those who wear a bra are more likely to suffer breast pain.
