Wearing padded bras everyday is not advisable. There are some health reasons why Nigerian women shouldn’t wear padded bras everyday.
Push up and padded bras have become a woman’s wardrobe necessity these days. While these sure are tempting as they instantly add a desirable push and better shape to the overall body frame, these bras also have their own disadvantages.
While there is no harm in wearing them occasionally to attend parties, dinners and and other important events, wearing them on a daily basis is what leads to some serious health problems.
Here are 5 reasons why wearing padded bras on a daily basis is bad for women’s health:
1. Formation of lumps
Apart from restricting the lymph glands, padded bras are unintentionally designed in a way that they also restrict the lymph liquid. This liquid when restricted leads to the formation of lumps, fibrous tissues and cysts in the breasts.
2. Increased chances of Breast Cancer
Push up and padded bras are designed to unnaturally alter the shape of the breasts by applying constant pressure to the delicate breast tissue. This results in compressing and constricting of the lymphatic vessels. You can clearly see the red marks and indentation that padded bras leave behind when it is removed after wearing it for a long time.
Both the lymphatic and circulatory systems provide vital nutrients and help in the elimination of toxins. These bras block the circulation to a considerable degree and that results in a lack of nutrients and the excess in toxins can lead to the development of cancer.
An impairment of the lymphatic system’s flow can lead to the toxification of the breast tissue.
3. Damage to the shape
Wearing push up and padded bras constantly pulls up the breast against gravity and puts extra pressure on the delicate lower breast tissues. In case these tissues separate from the main body tissue, it will cause sagging of the breasts and spoil their shape. While these bras temporarily make the shape better, in the long run they may permanently alter it also.
4. Permanent damage to the breast issue
Padded bras reduce the circulation of fluids in the breast tissue as they press the breasts against the chest. In extreme cases, there are chances that the tissue will be permanently separated from the main body tissue.
5. Alteration in Melatonin levels thereby causing sleeping disorders
Melatonin is an essential hormone in the human body that regulates one’s sleep. A padded bra can reduce the levels of Melatonin in the body thanks to its unnatural design and restrictions, which may ultimately lead to sleeping disorders.
More Information
Many Nigerian women don’t realize that they are exposing themselves to toxic chemicals by wearing padded bras regularly. This is because the padded bras they buy and wear also contain harmful chemicals like formaldehyde and Toluene diisocyanate (TDI), both of which are considered carcinogens. This is why padded bras are considered toxic.
Some women may ask is it better to wear padded or non padded bras?
If a woman wants to show off the natural shape of her boobs, non padded bras are the best option for her. They do not have any type of padding hence her natural boob shape is maintained.
On the flip side, padded bras can make a woman feel sexy but uncomfortable at the same time due to the pads but non padded bras are just fabric. They will make any woman who wears them feel secure and comfortable.
A padded bra is good for boobs because it has material added to the cups, which can help your boobs look fuller and keep your nipples from showing through your clothing. They come in different styles for women of all shapes and sizes.
Padded bras can provide great coverage, though the amount varies depending on the bra style but it is not healthy to wear them everyday as mentioned above.
The biggest benefit of wearing a padded bra is that curvaceous and well-endowed natural look it gives to a woman. A padded bra is seamless and does not ruin or interfere with the beauty of your top or T-shirt. It gives you a smoother finish and looks great in fitting clothes. This is the advantage of padded bra.
Who should wear a padded bra?
You can go for a padded bra if you have an uneven breast size or a disproportional breast size. Although some people claim that padded bras are only worn by women who have smaller chest sizes, it can also be worn by women with bigger breast size to get a smooth look after dressing up.
Sleeping in a bra can make your breathing more labored and shallow, lowering your usual intake of oxygen. On the other hand, sleeping without a bra allows you to breathe and rest easy after a long day.
