The bra and the lympathic system

Hello everyone!!

In this post I am going to talk about the bra and its relationship with the lymphatic system. And why it is good NOT to wear a bra. Feminist arguments about not wearing bras or makeup, about how bras and heels are instruments of the “oppressive patriarchy” (I love saying this, hahaha), are quite right, whether you support feminists or not (debate in which I will not enter and that seems absurd to me, obviously you must support feminism).

Well, focusing on bras. Depending on one’s breast size, a bra is more or less necessary. As I have small boobs, I really wear it more for aesthetic reasons (for clothes to fit well) than out of necessity. In fact, the 3 things I always do when I get home are: take off my shoes, take off my contact lenses, and take off my oppressive bra (hahaha). I understand that a girl with big boobs has more need to wear it, also to fight against the force of gravity (which will end up winning the battle anyway).

There are different types of bras: with wire, without wire, with padding, without padding … A bra without underwire or padding is much more comfortable, but those of us who have little boobs need that extra help to look good with cleavage, with certain shirts…It is also true that we have a pre-established image of the shape boobs should have (the round one of the bra cup) that is not the true one, because if we were not wearing a bra, at least in my case, the shape would be more or less pointed. But I still don’t dare to not wearing bra when I’m wearing only a shirt. The good thing is that in winter, when you wear a lot of clothes, you can really go without it.

I have even taken off my bra while at work because I felt it bothered me. It was something I hadn’t thought about much, but online I found that there is a reason for this: wearing tight things hinders the circulation of the lymphatic system. Lymph flows through the body and wearing tight clothing and bras makes it difficult for it to flow well. In addition, there have been studies that relate whether or not to wear a bra with the presence of nodules on the chest, which is not a joke. I am going to attach here the information from Rawvana’s video about the bra and from Elsa Pataky’s post in which she talks about how to take care of the lymphatic system (with dry massages and lymphatic drainage):

¿Por qué detox?

To finish, my recommendations are: do not wear a bra at home or to sleep, opt more for sports or bralette types and use the uncomfortable-padded-wire only for social occasions that require it: to show off, to suffer? Rarely.

Until next time!!
