If you’re like many women, you’ve probably spent most of your life thinking that a bra needs an underwire to offer adequate support and keep your breasts healthy, but this simply isn’t true. Well designed wire-free bras are actually the best bras for breast health for several reasons.
At Evelyn & Bobbie, we’re proudly changing the narrative around what it means for a bra to be a good choice for optimal breast health. Here’s a closer look at what you need to know about why wireless support bras are the way to go when it comes to comfort, style, and breast support.
Are Wireless Bras Better for Breast Health?
Yes. The right wireless bras can be better for breast health for many reasons.
Underwire designs have been the industry go-to for as long as anyone can remember, especially for well-endowed and full-figured women. However, the patent for underwire technology also dates all the way back to 1893 – well over a century ago – so we’re overdue for a change.
Supportive wire-free bras (including patented Evelyn and Bobbie bras) provide that change.
Better blood flow
Underwires can be rigid and restrictive, which isn’t the healthiest support option for sensitive breast tissue. Wires can dig into your ribs, restrict circulation, and impede proper lymphatic flow. Naturally, this can be painful and unhealthy for anyone but it’s especially so for women with chronic circulation issues or who are recovering from surgery.
No-wire bras like the ones you’ll find in our collection don’t cause any of those issues. Instead, Evelyn and Bobbie bras replace restrictive underwires with supportive patented EB Core® technology – no pinching, poking, or painful restriction involved.
Check out Mischel’s Evelyn & Bobbie customer story for a closer look at how transformative the right bra can be. Multiple open-heart surgeries made it nearly impossible for her to find appropriate support, and our EB bras made the difference she needed in her life.
Improved posture
Restrictive, uncomfortable clothing (including underwire bras) can interfere with the human body’s natural way of moving, carrying its own weight, or simply taking up space in the world. You naturally compensate for the discomfort in ways that aren’t good for your body or your health.
However, supportive, comfortable bras from Evelyn & Bobbie are ergonomically designed to work with your body, not against it. They’re even chiropractor-approved!
In addition to underwire-replacing EB Core® support, our bra designs effectively place the burden of support where it belongs – at the band, not the straps. Our straps are also wider and designed to transfer breast weight from your trapezius muscles to your shoulder joints where it belongs.
Natural wear experience
So much about the outmoded bra designs that still dominate the market still operate on the notion that a woman’s natural breasts must be fully restricted and controlled, which doesn’t leave much room for comfort or a proper fit. This leaves many women feeling that their bodies are the problem when it’s actually their bra.
Women's wireless bras like the ones you’ll find at Evelyn & Bobbie turn this mindset on its head. Your body – whatever its size, shape, or age – is perfect just as it is. It shouldn’t be forced to fit into your bra. Instead, your bra should be designed to fit you, comfortably and perfectly.
Evelyn & Bobbie bras aren’t just wireless. They’re also made from innovative four-way stretch fabric that customizes itself to fit your unique body over your first few wear sessions. You can finally enjoy the superior support and comfort you crave and deserve.
Is It Better to Wear a Non-Wired Bra?
Yes. When it comes to both health and comfort, wire-free bras are absolutely the way to go, even if you have a fuller figure to think about. But don’t simply assume all women's wireless bras are the same. It’s crucial to choose the right options.
Choose the right styles
There’s a reason Evelyn & Bobbie’s catalog doesn’t contain a racer-back option. Racer-back designs are popular market options for teens and active women. But they don’t properly distribute the weight of your breasts and can eventually lead to back, pain, and posture issues.
When you put weight on your trapezius muscle, it causes the muscle to shorten, which then causes you to raise your shoulders and hunch your back. This hunched posture can lead to long-term posture problems and chronic back pain. Evelyn & Bobbie's bra designs are engineered to provide full support and weight distribution, preventing these common issues associated with racer-back styles.
EB bras are ergonomic options that fully support ongoing breast health, good posture, and superior comfort. Evelyn & Bobbie is also an inclusive company, so our bras are appropriate for many sizes, body types, and ages, teenagers included.
Our Defy Bra and Evelyn Bra models feature an X-shaped criss-cross construction that’s extra supportive of good posture, so be sure to check them out.
Reframe how you view support
Evelyn and Bobbie bras are proof positive that a bra doesn’t have to be restrictive, binding, or full of uncomfortable components to support you. You can experience the best support of your life while remaining comfortable and enjoying a full range of motion when you know where to look for it, and Evelyn & Bobbie has you covered.
