A French university released the findings of a 15-year study to determine the effect of of bras on women’s breasts. The resounding conclusion was that wearing a bra on a daily basis actually leads to saggier breasts and more health problems, reports the Sun.

The professor conducting the study, Jean-Denis Rouillon, measured the distance between nipples and shoulders of women aged 18 to 35. “Medically, physiologically, anatomically – breasts gain no benefit from being denied gravity. On the contrary, they get saggier with a bra,” he said.

While it may take some time to change the popular beliefs held about the undergarments, some actresses have been on the braless train for some time. Here are some great moments in free-boobing.
