Nobody wants to go around smelling like a rotten egg isn’t it? Therefore women try and choose rather to spread fragrance around, in order to combat sweat odor as well indirectly the feminism rules over to attract men around. Equality may be in and those stereotypical ideas about men and women may be out but there are still the obvious differences prevailing. This is where we have different deodorants for men and women. Women are definitely built different to a man, and this can be seen in every aspect of life, from the field of sports to different emotional responses to situations to the way that women think. This is not a bad thing, it is just…different. Now when it comes to creating a deodorant for women as per ones particular needs we can say. Most women only need minimal protection for sweat and odor while others may need a stronger one.

And there are gender natural scents as you would hardly see men going all the way and sniffing up the scent to choose. Hence there are different deodorants for men and women and women ones being pink in color generally, giving that feminine touch to them.
It’s really difficult to do without deodorants, especially in summer, when it’s so hot.

Although a recent study conducted by British scientists has shown, that every woman is probably going to make a choice soon: either using the deodorant or her own health, as the use of these cosmetic products may increase the risk of breast cancer. Parabens are used in thousands of cosmetic products, drugs and foods as preservatives, but this study was the first to find their ability to accumulate in tissues. Parabens are similar to female sex hormones and because of this they can speed up the growth of tumors. Claims that deodorants cause breast cancer hit the headlines recently when Phillipa Darbre of the University of Reading in the UK published a paper reporting that preservatives used in antiperspirants and deodorants can be found in breast tumors. But this in no way proved that the preservatives, called para-hydroxybenzoic acids or Parabens, actually caused the tumors and nowadays most deodorants no longer contains any Parabens.

A study was conducted in 2004 by Dr. Kris McGrath, a Chicago allergist who claims to have found a connection between antiperspirants, underarm shaving and cancer. Also women using deodorants quite often were found to have some aluminum content around the breast region. Still researchers are doing studies on this in order to prove the long term effect of using deodorants.

Bras are an integral part of any woman. The right size of the bra can do wonders to a woman’s figure. But how many of them wear the right size of the bra? It may come as a shock to you but it is projected that well over 70 percent of women wear ill-fitting bras. This not only leads to uneasiness, but it can actually manifest as actual pain over time.

For most people, bras are top down support systems. In lay man’s language, this means that they view the support being provided by the straps over the shoulders. But the truth is that bras are meant to be bottom up support system. The strap around the bottom of the bra is aimed to carry 80 percent of the weight of the breasts with the cups and straps taking on the remaining weight.
This can lead to physical discomfort that one might not always correlate with the ill fitting bra. Let’s take a closer look at some of the health issues that arise due to wearing ill fitting bras.

Breathing problems: It has been observed by The British School of Osteopathy that ill-fitting fashion bras put stress on bones and muscles, which can cause breathing problems. The study reported that badly fitting and tight bras supported the breast by pressing on the rib cage which restricts breathing and puts pressure on the diaphragm.

Constipation: Fashion bras can tighten the rib cage by several inches more than conventional bras. The pressure can affect digestion. This results in constipation as the digestive process is restricted because of pressure on the diaphragm.

Shoulder pain: The trapezius muscle connects the neck to the shoulder. A badly fitting bra providing inadequate support causes this muscle to tighten, to take up the weight of the breasts. This can lead to shoulder, neck and back pain because this muscle is being persistently strained.

Skin problems: it has been found through several studies that bras which are too tight can cause lesions or lumps on the skin - also called lympomas. They are caused because of the hooks on the back of bras which dig into the skin.

Circulatory problems: The regular wearing of a sports or tight-fitting bra can also cause circulatory problems if the elastic around the rib cage is too tight. Also, constantly having breasts being pushed inwards can cause constraint in circulation, which may damage breast tissue.
Breast cancer: A U.S. study carried out by scientists concluded that the odds of getting breast cancer increased dramatically in women who wore bad fitting bras.

You may not have been aware of all the problems that can be caused because of wearing ill fitting bras. But I am sure reading this article has opened your eyes to all the health hazards. It is never too late to correct your folly. Check whether you are wearing the right size of the bra and change if not!
