Hi y'all (as we say in the south),

Some recent research (don't actually have it, but can look for it) shows
that underwire bras are not good for anyone.  May even be a factor in breast
cancer.
In countries where there are no bras worn at all, there is almost no breast
cancer, BUT these are also the women who all breasfeed.

My daughter recently went into a V------- Secret to buy a bra, and they
didn't sell any without underwires!  The clerk said, "Oh, it is so much
better for the breast to wear underwire." Oh yeah?    Well, my stubborn
daughter bought one anyway. :(

I personally think underwire bras are an invention of some sadistic MAN!
