Pennie 26 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 I subscribe to Mary Jane Farms Magazine. This was a article in it. I have never heard of the hazards of wearing a bra. My grandmother was a firm believer in that you wear you bra 24/7 to prevent drooping. I am a 70's child & hated wearing bras. My mother would catch me without one & give me the riot act & make me put it back on. Today at my age I wouldn't go out in public without it. But it is the first thing I take off when I get home. So after reading this article it made me think this would be a great topic to share with your female residents. Share your thoughts on this with us & tell us what your residents have to say about it.

Paulette 0 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 My young adult daughter has been trying to tell me this as well, because I'm another one who likes to de-bra the minute I get home. Here are my feelings about this: Physically, it just plain feels better to be without a bra. It is tight, which can't be as good for your skin or circulation as going bra-less, and why not feel more comfortable - at any age? Most of us have nursed babies, jogged, held little ones against our chest - how much more are we going to droop just by sitting at home without a bra? Mentally, why bother our residents with one more thing to worry about their health? Whether or not it is in fact better to wear a bra or not, let the residents do what is comfortable for them. Chances are, they already droop, so if not wearing a bra does make them droop an extra tenth of an inch before they die, so what? And why remind them that they droop or point out that others might care and that they should care? They're already worried about wrinkles on their faces - or, hopefully, they've learned to accept those - and they're certainly worried about other things, like getting (or worsening) dementia or other diseases - so I say, definitely don't bring it up!

may16pag 0 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 I love to go home and pull off my bra .lol Most of our residents don't wear bras. They do if they go to the Dr. or to Wal-Mart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
