ELENA MARTÍN LÓPEZ Madrid
Adriana always has a bra.«It is for a matter of habit, except in the gym, which seems really necessary to me.I just take it in summer according to the clothes you wear ».His friend Lourdes replies: "The opposite happens to me, as I have so little chest I prefer not to wear it because I find it uncomfortable".Ana adds: «In my case, it depends.When I have the chest operated there are certain shirts with which I do not put it and others with which yes ».Jimena adds: "For me it is a matter of comfort and I only take it at home".And Helena adds: "In my case it is mainly aesthetic, because I have little to hold, but I think that with him I better clothes".
This is the debate that is formed in this group of friends, with ages between 26 and 32 years, when asking them about whether or not they are a bra.The bra.
One of the aspects that most bothers women about the use of this garment is that men come to say: «They do not use it and, generally, do not know the reasons why a woman decides to take it off.Each one is free to do what he wants, with the bra or with a miniskirt, without having to make any reference to whether it is causing, ”says Adriana.Jimena nods: "Personally, I do not like my chest to mark, something that seems to have become fashionable, but each one is at ease with one thing and you have to respect it".
Starting from this base, and at a time marked by movements such as #Freethenipple or #Nobraday, who try to normalize the fact of not carrying a bra, we ask several specialists about the convenience or not of their use.«In general, carrying it is important, especially at the times when it is subjected to the chest to greater impact, as in sports involving jumps, running or aerobic movements.In normal situations it is also advisable to put it although, from time to time, such as when you get home, nothing happens to rest if it is not for an excessive time, ”says Concepción Pinilla, a specialist in aesthetic and restorative surgery in Zaragoza.
To sleep we can also do without it "because it is much more comfortable and the improvement that would be experienced when using it would not be relevant," explains the doctor, "but during pregnancy and breastfeeding, that the chest is constantly changing, or after areduction or breast increase, it is very necessary ».
Choose the size well
Choosing the right bra, however, is important in any circumstance.The problem is that it is not as easy as it seems.«A way to identify if we are using a good bra is to verify that the contour band is perfectly straight in the dorsal zone, adjusted, but without compressing.The hoop must travel the base of the breast without touching it, from the armpit to the central part of the chest, the glasses must cover this without protruding and the straps must adjust with a distance of two fingers between them and the shoulders so that they do not pressnor fall, ”explains Náyade S.Pérez, Marketing Coordinator of the Lady of Cup Subjectors.
Another essential factor is size, which is defined according to the Cup (A, B, C...) and the contour (85, 90, 100...).«One of the biggest mistakes we make in Spain, due to the lack of variety of sizes and advice, is to choose too large contours and small glasses.This results in worse breast health and worsening in body posture, being able to cause back injuries.Ideally, a new bra hinder in the outer end bracket, so that, if it occurs, it can stick to the most tight square brackets, ”he says.
As for the style of the support, the varieties are endless ('plunge', 'balconette', 'bralette', 'push-up', reducer,...), although there are also some more indicated than others according to the firmness of the chest.«A format that works well is always the 'full cup', which covers the entire breast.Women with a firm chest have a wide range of options, from the 'BALETTE' to the 'Balconnet'.If the firmness is lower, they can opt for models in heart format or a 'balconnet'.For its part, the heavy chest needs resistant glasses and that cover more, because the area of the breast that remains is always moves and that reduces the subjection, ”says Pérez.
Breve historia del sostén
One of the first references of the use of garments to hold the chest dates back to the fourth century to.C.This is the Mosaic Sala de la the Ten Girls, located in the Roman Villa del Casale (Italy), where a group of young people appears wearing a suit similar to the current bikini.However, the modern bra descends from the fashion reformist movement that occurred in the 19th century.
In contrast to the tight Corsés, who limited breathing and digestion, lighter bras began to be designed in England, the United States or France.
It was in the 30s when this garment acquired many of its current characteristics, such as the designation of the size of the glasses with letters, bracket closures or adjustable braces.The improvements in the elasticity of the fabric, the variety of colors, prints and styles helped popularize it among women, as well as Hollywood movies and advertising campaigns.
In the 60s and 70s, some feminists claimed that the bra was an example of female subjugation to the male look, but many women continued to use it for comfort or need.
From the 90s, the support acquired erotic connotations due to companies such as Wonderbra or Victoria's Secret.Nowadays it is even used as top, with nothing that covers it above.
