There's also an Australian company catering to men who want to wear sexy bras. Check out Homme Mystere. Wearing women's sports bras has also become more popular among older men in the US because one of the side effects of cancer drugs is gynecomastia (man boobs). Not as farfetched as it sounds.

There are a tons of fabulous, and well-fitting, bras out there that don't cost $400 (and who wants jeweled encrusted bumps showing through your clothes anyway)? I find it fascinating that yet another article about bra wear — without no science to back their claims — informs us that our bras hurts our bodies. BUT: oh

There's a campaign to get rid of Page 3. You can sign the petition at No More Page 3 if you agree.

The test actually costs $4K (see link below) and not everyone has insurance to cover the cost. Bottom line is this known genetic cause of breast cancer only represents about 5% to 10% of all breast cancer cases. I'm sure you'd agree that we need to do a whole lot better than providing this type of "awareness" for

Doesn't matter much how fantastic they look. Having your breasts amputated (which is what it would be called if it were any other body part) removes any feeling or sensation in your breasts and/or nipples. In that sense there is no true prosthetic that replaces it's function — beyond a silicone filled balloon in your

Whether or not Victoria's Secret is targeting young girls with their ads/products is besides the point. Young girls are going to look up at the college women who already wear this brand. The bigger question, to me, is why do grown women support this store? It's a mystery to me.

This woman also wrote "The Truth About Penis Size" for Men's Health. Maybe her goal is to make both sexes feel inadequate about their bodies?

You can google the study "Brain Sees Women as Parts, Men as Whole." It's the scientific explanation of your instincts.

Women's bodies — and especially their breasts — don't seem to belong to us now. Cleavage has a great deal of power and is used to sell everything (even sexy breast images and words are used to sell breast cancer awareness). It may be that the only way women can reclaim their bodies is to take ownership of them and not

Seriously? Equivalent to stuffing your bra? How does that apply to men? And isn't every woman who wears a contour or t-shirt bra presenting a false front?

Try the Panache. And Freya has a pretty sports bra, too. I'm a runner and love the way they fit!

It's important to question the pink ribbon approach, given the millions raised in the name of breast cancer awareness (documented now in two books and the film, Pink Ribbons, Inc.). Shocking also that the pink hype makes people think we've somehow managed to reduce incidence. It's still found in 1 in 8 women —- and it

Try this link for an explanation on why research isn't directed in this area: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/16/science/16qna.html?ref=science. You might also want to look at the Breast Cancer Action page for info on environmental links to breast cancer (if you aren't already familiar with them).

There have been lots of studies done on bras and breast cancer; even one (discredited) book claims such a link exists. You should visit the Susan G. Love foundation site to read more: http://www.dslrf.org/mwh/content.asp?L2=7&L3=2&SID=366.

Are their any stats on cup sizes with these surgeries? If you are going from an A to a C cup, how much bigger is 30% bigger? Breast size is all relative. And women in the US who have chosen bigger implants at a younger age (again, what is big defined by personal preference) often scale back to smaller implants later.

Her nip slip qualifies more as a PG-13 rating. Gratuitous boob flashes are common in movies targeted to the 14 year old male demographic. http://www.mpaa.org/ratings/what-each-rating-means

YES!! What a refreshing post after the more depressing one on "can't wait to take off my bra—and throw it on the floor (!)— when I get home." Wearing lingerie doesn't have to make you miserable. It can enlighten and inspire!!

I love beautiful, well fitting lingerie. No matter what I'm wearing on the outside, I feel like a rock star underneath. Of course, that means coordinating panties with my bra. And I'd never toss one of these delicate breast investments on the floor. Ouch!

Dr. Scurr's research is applicable to all breast sizes. Breast tissue moves not just up and down and side to side, but in a figure 8 pattern (as the good doctor has uncovered). Breast tissue can be damaged if a proper sports bra is not worn during exercise. Dr Scurr also believes that sports bras should be required

Did anyone read the original article? Breast size was "self-reported." If 85% or more women wear the wrong size bra, does this study have any authority? This so-called research led other media outlets to headline their stories as "breast size linked to cancer." Here is analysis worth reading:
