Interesting study by the French on bras. Study says that they actually are a cause of sagging boobs, not a preventer. Going braless lets the body develop proper musculature to support them.
size and lifestyle would be a factor wouldn’t it? if you’re sedentary you might want to set them free, but if you’re swinging the girls about you will want support.

Nice work if you can get it.
Yay! I go without one 99% of the time already and I’m miserable when I’m forced into one. I think my breasts look just fine for a 43 year old woman, especially under clothes, but my oldest daughter acts like I’m shaming the family if I don’t wear one.
