We have started a breast cancer awareness campaign with the name: I’m taking off my bra as a defence in preventing breast cancer


I’m taking off my bra on the 8th of February as a defence in preventing breast cancer.

Fact: 1 out of 8 women gets breast cancer.

One scientifically-conducted epidemiologic study investigated a possible link between bra use and breast cancer. This study suggested that breast cancer might be less common among women who do not wear bras than among bra wearers.

According to a Harvar study (Singer and Grismaijer, 1996) women who wear bras for 24 hours a day have 75% chance of developing breast cancer compared to 15% who wear bras 12 hours per day and 0.7% chance who do so rarely or never. That is a huge difference!! (However, this study was not conducted according to standard principles of epidemiological research.)

Women, all over the world! Let’s all take off our bras on the 8th of February, 2010!

Guys, make your colleagues and friends join this group! Walk around with open eyes and enjoy this day!

Together we can fight breast cancer! Join the facebook group to support the camapign:
