Surgically Implantable Bra

If you don’t have straps, they’re going to end up somewhere down around your waist eventually, no matter what lovely shape they’re in.

Wouldn’t this make it more difficult to diagnose breast cancers? It would interfere with ultrasounds and mammograms and even self-examination.

I’m pretty sure this is going to be one of those things people in the future look back at and say, “What the heck were they thinking?” Just like we do with those baby window cages and clothe dog side-cars.

That’s terrible. I’m one of those small-in-the-chest feminists who cannot stand wearing bras for more than a couple hours if I’m forced to. I cannot imagine that can be good at all for your health. Some studies have linked wearing external bras with breast cancer. >.> I highly doubt internal bras would change that.

And breasts are beautiful, no matter their shape. Why do people hate what women’s natural bodies look like so much?

D:

I don’t know if I could look more horrified if I tried. Then again, I love my breasts the way God made them.

That is really fascinating. It kind of reminds me of cyber-punk stories.

I’d be worried about the breast texture after a few years. A fibrous structure covered in scar tissue isn’t going to feel much more real than a hardened implant. Maybe they could be made with kevlar instead? That way when they inevitably toughen up, they’re bulletproof!

I’m sorry, but I think that putting foreign substances into your body should be avoided unless it’s absolutely necessary. Broken leg+plates, OK; but bra implants are NOT needed and might pose a health hazard at a later date. I’d rather be saggy and healthy that perky and cancerous.

felixthecat – that’d depend on who’s wearing them. If it’s the Squid (my wife) then they’d be beautiful even if she could sling them over each shoulder.

Yes, because then everyone would just comment on being able to see your nipples. Support and shape are not the only reasons for wearing bras!

Also, I can’t see this thing being able to stand up to the power of gravity very well.

Sorry, but I agree and disagree with Miss Cellania. No straps, yep they’re waist-level in a few years. However, bigger than b-cup, straps be damned they’re still gonna be in your lap.
