4 LINGERIE MYTHS YOU SHOULD THROW INTO THE SEA
Lingerie is the most intimate apparel for every woman and over the years a lot of old wives' tales have been spoken and circulated about this wear. Hence, this has put a lot of thoughts into that direction but kudos to experience and facts that have given reason to throw away these myths out of the window.
1. SLEEPING IN A BRA CAN MAKE YOUR BREAST SMALLER
Although there are no medical studies that say sleeping in a bra has any negative health effects. According to Dr. Regina Hampton, a board-certified breast surgeon and founder of Breast Care for Washington, board-certified, “Some women have painful, lumpy breasts, and wearing a soft bra to bed can help limit breast movement while sleeping” There is however no evidence or studies to show breast reduction is possible when a lady sleeps in a bra. Your breast size may reduce due to different factors but not sleeping in a bra Beautiful Lady, and this takes us to our second myth!
2. A WOMAN'S BREAST CAN NEVER REDUCE IN SIZE
We consider this to be false and it has been proven several times, a woman’s breast has tissues and fat which can be reduced just like the belly either through surgery or natural remedies.
According to Mayo Clinic, “Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a procedure used to remove excess fat, tissue and skin from the breasts. If you have large breasts, you might choose to have breast reduction surgery to ease discomfort or to achieve a breast size proportionate to your body.“
A woman’s breast can also reduce in size through exercise and dieting. So, Beautiful Lady as you journey into different phases of your life, just as your body fluctuates from time to time, your hormonal changes can make it possible for your breast size to take a new size, either bigger or smaller.
3. WASH YOUR BRA ONCE IN A MONTH
As you wear other clothes and wash them as often as they should be, why should we take this particular myth serious when this is intimate apparel we are talking about. Just as Dr Vij mentioned in one of his discussions with the ladies that “A few hours with a bra on with minimal sweating might not count as full wear, he says. But a few hours with heavy sweating could count as double or triple wear“. So it’s important to rotate your bra wears so that the straps can relax.
It just means that not washing your bra as frequent as you should after wearing it under heavy sweating can cause skin irritation and rashes.
With soft wash and gentle care, your bra is sure to last longer than usual.
4. SAGGY BREAST IS A RESULT OF WEARING A BRA TOO OFTEN
The bra is meant to hold your breast from sagging, so can this myth originator tell us she is not wearing her true size or probably book a consultation so that we can confirm? I bet we are right on this. Not wearing your true bra size can also result in having your bra saggy or droopy even when you’re in a bra.
