National No Bra Day 2025 is being celebrated today, October 13. This annual commemoration was first marked on July 9, 2011. However, within three years, the observance was moved to October 13.

National No Bra Day Significance

The main goal of No Bra Day is to encourage more women across the world to go braless in an effort to raise awareness about breast cancer. There is no scientific fact that wearing a bra in any way increases the risk of breast cancer. The motivation behind this movement was spun off from a medical event in Toronto, Canada, that encourages breast cancer survivors to consider reconstructive surgery. The main goal of this observance is to help people to just be free and unrestricted through and through.

Every year, on the occasion of No Bra Day, people often post on social media to engage in necessary dialogue and conversation around Breast Cancer. Many people also ditch their bras and post braless selfies to grab people's attention and remind people of the importance of timely check ups and the increased prevalence of breast cancer. We hope that this No Bra Day, you do your bit to celebrate this day in any way you feel comfortable. The main goal of this observance is just to have pointed conversations around breast cancer and help encourage more people to get tested for it.
