 | | 4 is a frontal view of a brassiere with shoulder straps, suggested at 4, and cups 6,8 for the breasts. | | | A correct position for the supporting means in the brassiere or garment, and therefore in relation to the wearer's body, is of the greatest importance to satisfactory function. | | | This kind of brassiere therefore reduces shoulder strap loading, a particu- lar advantage for women with strenuous work, as the load imposed by shoulder straps often leads to bad posture and shoulder, neck and back pain. |

| | Brassiere - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The degrees of support varies between styles, with some being designed from a highly practical point of view, and others to provide a deliberately sexually alluring form. | | | Some medical professionals believe that wearing a bra can actually increase breast sagging later in life because the chest muscles that support breasts are used less and atrophy from lack of use. | | | Health benefits of breast motion and sagging have also been suggested but not substantiated — for example, some researchers claim that breast movement, which is restricted by a brassiere, stimulates the lymphatic system and helps remove toxins from the body |
