Hi Blondey. I'm not sure what this topic is about. Breasts and bra size? I'm free and don't care that anyone knows I'm barely 32a. I'm being me.

How your lymphatic system works and breast health ...

http://breastresearchawareness.com/breast-health/the-lymph-system/

....Exercise and Movement The Lymph System has no pump, but relies on the effect of gravity through movement, and smooth muscle contraction for it to flow. Walking, stretching, deep breathing, and gentle bouncing are simple ways to keep your lymph moving. One couple sets a timer and does the “health bounce” – just 10-20 bounces each hour during the day..............,another reason men are useful


Some great tips on improving your lymphatic system in this article .

hello klc .. it does make me wonder given what we now know about breast health why bras remain popular in western society .

hi cat .. not really about breast size more about breast health and why women wear bras when a lot of research does not support their use .

I use to have a rebounder before I had a man .. they were great fun .. perhaps I will buy another for solo bouncing sessions sometimes you just need to bounce and think alone

yes.. seems it is associated with a right of passage into womanhood .....hopefully modern day parents question and research before giving their teens advice .. reminds me of the trend for cigarette smoking .. it used to be so acceptable but that is gradually changing .

So what is good? Wear a bra or not? I find it hard to find one to fit me. I like to sleep with nothing.

is is something you need to decide for yourself . I have posted some links above and will post some medical papers later. Women have always assumed wearing a bra was good for breast health but there is a lot of contradictory research about that .

So I have to give up my bra's????? But I just got them for my man boobs!!!

yes you will have to go back to cling wrap

It seems i got more than my fair share of being top heavy.
It doesn't feel comfortable walking around with no boulder holder

The U.S., is an extremely litigious society.

Therefore, a warning should be posted,
to remind people to take the bra off,
BEFORE setting fire to it.

that is silly ... can't imagine anyone doing that ... but they do have some massive bras in America ... could light a bonfire with them

hi Anna .. I like wearing fitting sports tops .. they give support to breast tissue without too much construction :-)

hi delightful ... to de bra and jump in the bath is the best feeling in the world

Bra or no bra??

Humm well if you have more then a handful as you get older they tend to look south paint eyes on those puppies and they would be looking down hahahaha....

Honestly as soon as I hit my front door that bra comes off.. and pj's come on..

Anyone that is lucky enough to be able to go with out one I'm jealous.. But believe me some people you don't want to see without a bra on..

If I go anywhere I have one on..if at home the puppies are happy and so am I~~

I’ve never worn an underwire. I’ve always felt underwires and constictive support bras were the downside for those with enough...um, let’s say...need for them.

Personally, I’ve always had the same contempt for bras as I do for shoes and only wear a spandex cami or sports bra in public to protect against makeing a public statment about how chilly a room may be.
