Vibrant Body Company: Signs your bra could be harming you
After 7 years and 80 prototypes we designed a bra so revolutionary that it has its own Utility Patent.
Did you know that Europe bans or restricts over 1,000 chemicals in textiles while the US only bans 37? There is very little regulation when it comes to harmful chemicals that American companies can use in their textile manufacturing. This is especially concerning in bras because they sit directly on a woman's most porous areas. Particularly when heated or moist -- this skin acts like a sponge, absorbing any chemicals that may be in her clothing leading to system wide exposure.
You may have heard recently, High Levels of BPA Have Been Found in Sports Bras of many big brands including Victoria's Secret, Athleta and Nike. BPA (or Bisphenol A) is a chemical used primarily in the plastics industry that in adults, exposure to BPA has been linked to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, asthma, and cancer. In addition to BPA, other common harmful chemicals that can be found in clothing are flame retardants, PFAS, lead & chromium, phthalates, chlorine bleach, AZO dyes, and formaldehyde.
You may have noticed when you take off your traditional underwire bra, you are left with red impressions on your skin. The restrictions causing these impressions are not only uncomfortable, they are applying pressure on your lymphatic system and getting in the way of its ability to do its job: eliminating toxins.
In the EveryWear Bra™ the support comes from the cups, not an underwire. After 7 years and 80 prototypes we designed a bra so revolutionary that it has its own Utility Patent. Not to mention bragging rights that it is truly the most comfortable, wire-free constructed bra you will ever put on your body. Think the comfort of a bralette with the look and support you wish it gave you.
