French scientist says bras don't help.
Dr. Jean-Denis Rouillon, a professor of sports science at the University Hospital of Besançon in France, has concluded that women would be better off not wearing bras.
Dr. Rouillon has spent 15 years studying tits. SCORE topped that record by seven years and we’re still studying them.
“Medically, physiologically and anatomically, breasts gain no benefit from being denied gravity. On the contrary, they get saggier with a bra,” Rouillon claimed.
You can imagine how the bra industry felt about this announcement. A lot of bra wearers who read about his study did not accept it either. I’m not so sure either.
“This might be true for girls with small boobies, but for girls with D cups or DD cups and bigger, excuse me, but gravity will only take over. Running a marathon if you are DD or FF would be incredibly uncomfortable,” said one female critic of Rouillon’s hypothesis.
“These are preliminary results,” Dr. Rouillon said in a follow-up. “The small sample of 320 young women is not representative of the entire population. That would require something like 300,000 subjects. We will simply have to recruit a larger sample of the female population, and conduct further research.”
It’s a tough job but someone has to do it and Dave and I don’t have the time to help out even though it sounds like fun. I suppose you can write the Doc care of University Hospital in Besançon and volunteer.
To bra or not to bra? That is the question.

A team at Manchester University led by Professor Geoff Beattie is trying to scientifically prove that a woman’s self-confidence increases when she wears a cleavage-boosting brassiere. Hell, I’ve been telling girls that for years.
The scientists claim that they’ve established this connection. I’m all for studies like this in the name of boobology. I’m sure those scientists couldn’t wait to get their hands on the data.
This is what they did at the university:
They shot 60 videos of women from 20 to 55 years old in three different everyday interactions.
The videos of the women wearing push-up bras were compared to videos of them wearing their own bras.
Professor Beattie and crew studied what they call the three key “micro-behaviors” associated with confidence and observed how many times they happened.
The three micro-behaviors they looked for were smiling (good), breaking eye contact (bad) and “self-comforting hand movements” such as stroking the chin (bad).
The push-up bra results:
Smiling increased by 73% when the women were wearing a push-up bra.
Breaking eye contact, a negative behavior, decreased by 41%.
Self-comforting hand movements, a sign of low self-confidence, decreased by 64%.
Summing up, the scientists claim that women with more prominent cleavage were more likely to maintain eye contact and show more self-confidence in public.
Still, I have to wonder about this study. It was commissioned by Gossard. The lingerie company is releasing a new push-up bra called “The Super Egoboost.”
They could have just come over to the SCORE building, and we would have answered all of their questions.
One sure result of more women wearing push-up bras would be 75 to 100% more guys smiling.
Is it true that Sophie Mae has no self-confidence problems since she started wearing push-up bras?
