Hey, I've got a better idea!
The Atlanta Journal Constitution gives some helpful medical advice:
CLOTHING: Loosen that bra strap to ease headaches
Here's something to think about the next time you choose a bra to go under that cute summer outfit. Wearing a thin bra strap too tightly can lead to a nagging headache, according to doctors at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.
"The binding from the strap puts pressure on the trapezius muscle, which causes strain and knotting of the muscle and may cause headaches or pain that radiates down the arm," says Dr. Karen Kowalske, UT Southwestern's chairwoman of physical medicine and rehabilitation.
The pain may take days or weeks to resolve, but there is usually no permanent damage.
Full-busted women should wear bras with straps that are significantly wider than a standard strap and with some padding if possible.
Now I'm a guy who's sensitive to the needs of women, so I'm here to suggest that you all just stop wearing bras altogether in order to nip this problem in the bud. You full-busted women may find this advice especially useful, so any of you that want to thank me personally can reach me at the e-mail address at the top of the page.
