Time to ditch the bra?

I was horrified to read that Gillian Anderson has ditched her bras. “I don’t care if my breasts reach my belly button,” the Crown actress declared. “I’m not wearing a bra anymore. It’s just too f---ing uncomfortable.”

One wonders what sort of undergarments the 52-year-old has been wearing. If she’s been going fully Madonna in Vogue or dressing like Princess Leia in Return of the Jedi then I don’t blame her, but has she not considered some sort of non-underwired, half-way house?

That said, I was interested to read that women might actually be safer going bra-free. Around 400 underwear related accidents are recorded in Britain every year, with women particularly susceptible to being struck by lightning if they are wearing metal underwiring in their bras.

And it’s not just women who are at risk. According to medical records, a 27-year-old man sustained a fracture and ligament damage when he twisted his left middle finger while trying to unclasp the bra of a female companion.

It certainly brings a whole new meaning to the phrase “booby trap”.
