As girls continue to grow up, their bodies are gradually developing and maturing, and bras have become an item they need to start touching. Let's take a look at when girls are most suitable to start wearing bras.
When should girls start wearing bras
Bras have a supportive effect on the breasts, which can alleviate breast sagging and to some extent protect the chest from impact and compression injuries.
But young girls begin to develop their breasts around the age of 10, and after 4-5 years of development, their breasts will basically form a shape. If a bra is worn too early during development, it can easily limit normal breast development, leading to breast function degradation, breast deformation, and even affecting future breastfeeding.
Therefore, during adolescence, it is recommended to wear bras as little as possible. In general, bras can be worn after breast development and shaping around the age of 15.
At present, there is no evidence to suggest that wearing a bra can cause breast disease, but if the bra is chosen improperly or worn improperly, it can bring a series of health problems.
There are abundant blood vessels, glandular vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerves distributed on the breast. If the bra is too small, especially a closed bra, it can cause compression on the breast, affect blood circulation, cause breast ischemia, spasms, and lymphatic blockage, which can easily lead to infection or breast hyperplasia
Firstly, the duration of wearing a bra should not be too long, preferably no more than 8 hours per day. After returning home, the bra should be immediately removed and the breasts "unbound".
Secondly, cotton bras are more comfortable, with good moisture absorption and softness.
Thirdly, the size of the bra should be loose, and it is best to choose a size larger than one's own breasts. For women with larger breasts, the shoulder straps should be wider.
Fourthly, it is best not to choose bras that are compact and have steel rims, as this may hinder lymph reflux.
Precautions for correctly wearing bras
1. The duration of wearing a bra should not be too long, and it should not exceed 8 hours per day, let alone sleeping with a bra on. When you have nothing to do, you can do more chest expansion exercises or lift your upper limbs to promote blood circulation.
2. Choose a cotton bra. Chemical fiber bras can easily trigger skin allergies and have poor breathability. During human activity, bras constantly rub against the nipples, and the fibers inside the bra can easily enter the breast through the nipple. Over time, they can block the breast and nipples, leading to breast diseases.
