15 Common Bra Questions Every Woman Asks — Answered by Celaora

November 04, 2025 3 min read

At Celaora, we believe lingerie is more than fabric — it’s a daily expression of comfort, confidence, and care. Yet, so many women silently struggle with doubts about their bras — from pain to fit, from style to health. Let’s answer the most common questions every woman has, with facts, empathy, and a touch of Celaora elegance.


1. Can bras cause breast cancer?

No, there’s no scientific evidence linking bras to breast cancer. The myth originated decades ago but has been debunked repeatedly. Bras — whether wired or wireless — do not affect breast tissue or lymphatic flow in ways that cause cancer.

Celaora Tip: Always choose breathable fabrics and the right fit to support comfort and circulation.


2. Can bras cause breast pain?

Yes, if they’re the wrong size or worn too long. A tight band or small cups can compress tissue and cause tenderness.

What to do: Get measured every 6–12 months. Our bodies change, and so should our lingerie.


3. Can bras cause shoulder pain?

They can — especially if your straps are too tight or your bra isn’t supporting weight evenly.

Celaora Insight: Wide, padded straps can ease shoulder pressure, especially for fuller busts.


4. Can bras cause chest pain?

If you feel tightness around the ribcage, your bra band might be too snug. It should feel supportive, not suffocating.


5. Can bras reduce breast size?

No, bras can’t shrink your breasts. However, a compression sports bra might make them look smaller by minimizing movement.


6. Can bras cause cancer?

No. This is one of the biggest myths in lingerie. Cancer risk isn’t related to what you wear — it’s influenced by genetics, lifestyle, and hormones.


7. Can bras cause nipple pain?

Poor fit, rough fabric, or friction can irritate the skin. Choose soft, seamless, and breathable bras — like Celaora’s Comfort Series — to prevent discomfort.


8. Can bras cause back pain?

Yes — especially if the bra isn’t providing enough support. Women with larger busts often experience strain if their band rides up or straps dig in.

Celaora Tip: A firm, level band and the right cup size can ease 80% of such pain.


9. Can bras decrease milk supply?

During breastfeeding, overly tight bras can restrict ducts. Opt for maternity or nursing bras with flexible support instead.


10. Can bras increase breast size?

While bras can’t physically enlarge breasts, push-up and contour styles enhance shape and create a fuller look. It’s all about design and fit!


11. Can bras reduce milk supply?

Yes, overly tight bras during lactation might temporarily affect milk flow. Always choose comfort-first maternity designs.


12. Can bras prevent sagging?

A supportive bra helps slow the natural sagging process by reducing strain on ligaments. But remember — gravity, age, and genetics play a big role too.


13. Can bras be washed in the washing machine?

If the label allows — yes, but use a lingerie bag and gentle cycle. Avoid dryers and hot water.

Celaora Care Tip: Hand washing is always best for delicate fabrics and lace.


14. Can bras cause itching?

Yes — especially from trapped sweat, detergent residue, or fabric sensitivity. Switch to cotton-lined or hypoallergenic bras and rinse thoroughly while washing.
