Why do we wear bras? Is it because they're good for us? Will they prevent our breasts from sagging or keep them from growing if we sleep in them at night? Women hear many myths about bras, but what is actually true?
Wearing a bra is a personal preference, but it is a social norm we tend to follow, says Sue McDaneld, a nurse practitioner at Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department There are some cons when wearing a bra, but a simple tip can help women prevent the negative effects.
Women can unintentionally alter their menstrual cycle and increase the risk of infertility if a bra causes frequent rubbing on the nipple, says Carolyn DeSalvo, DB/GYN at Watkins Memorial Health Center. The rubbing can trigger the breasts to produce milk. To prevent this, DeSalvo recommends wearing a supportive bra, especially during exercise.
Wearing an ill-fitting bra can cause rubbing, skin tags, irritation and yeast infections along the bottom of the bra line. If a woman
To prevent this from happening, it is crucial to wear the correct bra size. Getting fitted at a department or lingerie store is free and painless. Hannah Rutzick, a junior from Plymouth, Minn., says she was fitted two years ago at a Victoria's Secret when she went bra shopping and has not had any problems since. It is a quick process because the bra fitsers measure around your chest with your clothes on.
has a history of yeast infections, constantly wearing a bra bring on infections because heat and moisture get trapped against the irritated nipple, McDanel says.
There is some physical benefit for large breasted women to wear a bra because it provides better support and comfort, especially with physical activity, McDanield says. Women with large breasts tend to have increased neck and back strains because they carry a lot of weight, so wearing a supportive bra with wide straps will help reduce some of that strain.
The caveat for a large-breasted woman wearing a bra is that the straps are not too
For small breasted women there is no health benefit if they wear a bra or not; it is a matter of preference and comfort, McDaneld says.
tight because they can cut in and cause worse back pain, DeSalvo says.
The bra fabric does not necessarily matter, whatever feels comfortable for each individual woman, McDaneld says. Bras with hard or rigid lace may cause more irritation and synthetic bras can increase the risk of skin infections because the fabric traps sweat and moisture. The bra fabric depends on the activities the woman will be doing while wearing the bra, McDaneld says.
There is no medical basis to say underwire bras cause cancer, DeSalvo says. Underwire bras can cause inflammation because they rub and this sometimes can cause confusion during a breast exam, so some say it is cancer, but it is not. DeSalvo savs.
Wearing a bra 24/7 will not affect your breasts in a negative or positive way as long as the bra is clean, Dr. DeSalvo says. Despite
the myths about sleeping in bras at night, women's breast growth depends on hormonal stimulation when a young woman becomes menstrual and if she gains or loses weight, McDaneid savs.
Sagging is not closely related to not wearing a bra, DeSalvo says. It is more dependent on weight gain, weight loss, pregnancies, natural aging and gravity. Bras can help, though, if a woman's breasts are starting to sag because it can make them look and feel better. DeSalvo says.
Occasionally, the underwire will break through the fabric, which can gauge the skin and scar it. McDaneld says. So, go through your bra drawer and throw out the old and damaged bras.
Remember to wash bras regularly because they will last longer. Perspiration and slougher off skin cells accumulate all the time and can eventually deteriorate the fabric and be less comfortable, McDaneld says.
Here you go ladies; this guide will be your best friend to help you determine whether you are wearing the perfect bra or if it is time to retire that old tattered one.
Jenise Bishop, a bra fitter at Linda the Bra Lady in New York City, says if you do not have a flattering silhouette underneath your shirt and your breast tissue is not smooth under the cups, then you do not have the correct bra size or style.
Finding the perfect fit is 95 percent about how the band fits you and only 5 percent about how the straps fit, Bishop says. The band is what supports your breast, the cups are to cover your breast tissue, and the straps give a little lift once you accommodate it with your torso. Bishop says.
Bishop says you can measure your bust size in a few easy steps:
1. Keep your bra on
2. Use a tape measure
3. To find your band size, measure underneath your breast
4. To find your cup size, measure the fullest part of your breast

"decade of dominance" is one of the bigger fallacies of my lifetime. That dominance included a Fiesta Bowl win and a single Big 12 championship, but conference foes Oklahoma and Nebraska won a combined four national championships while Kansas State was apparently dominating them. Wildcat coach Bill Snyder is good, but he hasn't won a bowl game since 2002, so let's not pretend Kansas State ft. football is bringing anything to the table in regards to conference realignment. And save the Kansas football jokes, because the Orange Bowl wasn't that long ago and a blue blood basketball program and top five rivalry trump the other Kansas school.
So if the Oklahoma schools apply for admission and are accepted to the Pac-12, Kansas and Missouri would be making mistakes if they weren't asking to be next. If nothing else, fans and writers alike could take winter trips to Tempe and Santa Monica instead of Syracuse and Cincinnati.
The Jayhaws scored a major victory against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in a 28-25 upset last September. This season, however, Georgia Tech's offense is even more dangerous than ever.

At the time this year, having them even more dangerous than last year's team that was upset by the jayhawks.
"He's special. He was a good player last year and we had to kind of hold on to our britches just to keep containing". Defensive Coordinator Vic Shealy said. "He got behind our safeties last year for a big play."
The Yellow Jackets still run the triple option offense, but have been hitting big plays through the air with junior receiver Stephen Hill.

Hill leads the Yellow Jackets' receivers with 307 yards and three touchdowns, but even more impressive is his 43.9 average yards per catch.
"It's more dangerous when they have more than just the run game coming at you. We have to prepare for everything so I think we'll be OK," Keeston Terry, frehsman receiver said.
Hill is the lone offensive leader from, the 2010 Yellow jackets to return, after quarterback Joshua

the nation, averaging 339.5 yards per game, and their passing offense ranks 23rd, averaging 289.5 yards per game.
"Guys have to show up and make plays." Bradley McDougald, junior safety, said. "If you're the quarterback player, then you have to be able to tackle him, because if he breaks your tackle, he's going to be able to run for another four or five yards and be able to pick up the first down. Guys are definitely going to have to make plays in the open field."
Last week, the layhawks struggled to defend the pass, allowing Chandler Harnish to accumulate 315 yards through the air. Georgia Tech's option offense relies heavily on the run, which could tip the scales in favor of the
Jayhawks' defense that has been tough against opposing tailbacks, allowing Northern Illinois tailbacks only 58 yards last week.
"That is the whole crutch of
handling the option is that you have to be assignment oriented." Shealy said. "I think when you look at assignments, by nature it slows you down a little bit, and
we want guys playing free and fast and canceling gaps and pushing the ball to the sideline"
