It also makes exercise quite uncomfortable. And it makes it very difficult to find well-fitting, supportive bras. I used to wear two or three ones.

[00:00:37] Speaker 1: Very, very, very expensive. Because I need to, not to push them up, but to keep them in a position for not suffering so much on my back.

The world is free.
