Wearing BustFree Bra Cups may contribute to Healthier Breasts!

There has been considerable research done regarding a possible link between the constriction and pressure on breast tissue caused by conventional bras, and the occurrence of breast pain and formation of cysts.

Researchers believe that many types of bras can cause blockage of the lymphatic vessels that drain fluid from the breast tissue, leading to fluid build-up and tissue congestion, a condition called edema. This causes pain, tenderness, lumps, and fluid-filled cysts. If not corrected, this condition can lead to cancer, as toxins become trapped in the breast tissue, unable to be flushed out through the lymphatic system due to the constriction from the bra.

Breast disease seems to be a problem only in cultures where women wear bras. Western culture has come to accept bra wearing as normal, and the bra has therefore remained unquestioned as a possible health hazard.

Actually, many bras are a form of breast binding, altering the shape of the breasts by applying constant pressure to the soft breast tissue. This compression appears to interfere with the circulation within the breast.

Conventional bras have become an essential part of every women’s wardrobe and this is unlikely to change. Most women wear a bra a minimum of 15 hours a day and some as much as 24 hours a day.

Research has indicated that the less time that your breasts spend constricted by a bra, the healthier they are likely to be.

Due to the fact that BustFree Bra Cups are strap-free, they are not as constricting and do not exert nearly as much pressure on your breasts as do conventional bras.

Consequently, we believe that wearing BustFree Bra Cups whenever possible may keep your breasts in a healthier condition than were you to wear conventional bra’s all the time.

BustFree Bra Cups can be used as a substitute for silicone breast prostheses either with a bra or as a bra in themselves. Most modern prostheses are made from silicone, are heavy and uncomfortable, cause unnecessary pressure on sensitive tissue and require the purchase of special bras and other garments that have pockets to hold the prostheses.

Our bra cups are lightweight and soft and are a much more comfortable solution for women who have had a single or double mastectomy. They can be used with the bras and clothing that you wore prior to surgery.

They can be worn with a bra or with the right garment, the cups will remain in place easily, will look and feel just like a normal breast and will not exert any pressure on sensitive areas.
