Stop Putting Your Phone In Your Bra

cell-phone-braIt has come to my attention that bras are holding a lot more than just breasts. In fact, for some ladies, their bras are more of a purse carrying a variety of items ranging anywhere from keys, money, make-up, and cellphones to water bottles and pacifiers!

Understandably this is a convenient, easy, and hands free way to carry around everyday items. When you think about it there are plenty of scenarios such as working out or clubbing, where  keeping your belongings in your bra are super convenient.

Unfortunately, as great as this idea might seem, there are several doctors out there begging us to STOP! Cancer surgeon John West, specifically, states that “placing your cellphone in your bra can cause breast cancer. Any woman placing her cellphone on her chest is playing with fire.”
