Are silicone bras harmful to the human body?

Many women choose to use silicone bras in order to wear beautiful clothes in the summer. There is no problem wearing it occasionally, but if you wear this kind of bra for a long time, it will cause certain harm to your body. Because silicone generally has poor breathability, long-term wearing can cause chest allergies and is very harmful to the breasts. But what are the problems with long-term wear? Come and take a look together!

What are the dangers of silicone underwear?

1. Increase chest weight

Silicone bras are heavier than ordinary sponge bras, generally weighing around 100g. Some thick silicone bras even weigh over 400g, which undoubtedly increases the weight of the chest and puts more pressure on the chest. Wearing thick silicone bras for a long time is not conducive to people's smooth breathing.

2. Affects normal chest breathing

The skin on the chest also needs to breathe, and silicone bras are usually made of silicone, and the layer close to the chest is coated with glue. During the wearing process, one side of the glue will stick to the chest, making it impossible for the chest to breathe normally. Usually after wearing silicone bras for 6 hours a day, the chest will feel stuffy and even have symptoms such as allergies, itching, and redness.

3. Cause skin allergies

Silicone underwear can be divided into good quality and bad quality. This mainly refers to the quality of silicone. Good silicone does less harm to the skin, but the price of silicone underwear on the market is very unstable, ranging from dozens to hundreds. In order to make more huge profits, some manufacturers usually use inferior silicone, which is very irritating to the skin. Irritated skin may develop prickly heat, eczema and other skin diseases.

4. Increased skin bacteria

Although silicone underwear can be reused, it has high requirements for cleaning and preservation. If it is not cleaned or preserved properly, the silicone underwear will be covered with bacteria. This is mainly because of its stickiness. Dust, bacteria, and various dust and fine hair in the air may fall on the silicone underwear, and the bacteria reproduce very quickly, which is equivalent to increasing the number of bacteria on the skin.

5. Causes breast deformation

Ordinary bras have shoulder straps, which have a lifting effect on the breasts, while silicone bras have no shoulder straps and are directly glued to the breasts with glue. Therefore, wearing silicone bras for a long time will cause squeezing and damage to the original breast shape. The breasts are in an unnatural state for a long time, which may cause breast deformation or even sagging.
