If some women did not wait for the first confinement of 2020 to no longer wear a bra, others took advantage of this suspended time to free themselves from it and gain in comfort. This is the case of actress Gillian Anderson, uninhibited sexologist from the series Sex Education, and brilliant interpreter of Margaret Thatcher in season 3 of The Crown.
Asked about her favorite outfits during confinement, during a question and answer with her Internet users filmed and published on her Instagram account on July 13, she declared that she no longer wears lingerie. "I'm so lazy, and I don't wear a bra anymore. I can't wear a bra anymore. I can't, no,” she said amused.

A question of comfort
The actress insisted on her need to feel comfortable in her clothes, and even claimed that if she could, she would only wear "black sweatpants", and "a sweatshirt". black hood every day. "I'm sorry, but I don't care if...my boobs reach my navel. It's just too uncomfortable," she continued.
On Twitter, many Internet users applauded the message and confirmed the well-being felt without lingerie. Since the confinement, it would seem that the “no bra” (the non-wearing of the bra), seduces more. In July 2020, an Ifop poll showed that 18% of women questioned and aged between 18 and 25 no longer wore lingerie tops; a proportion four times greater than that measured before confinement (4%). 53% of them gave comfort as a reason.
If the gesture is tempting, in practice, many brakes persist; such as the embarrassment of exposing their nipples for 69% of young people under 25 or the fear of being the object of physical or sexual assault, for 57%, according to the same survey. The latter also revealed an edifying figure: for 20% of French people, visible nipples under a top should be “for his attacker, a mitigating circumstance in the event of sexual assault”.
Women's health and well-being
This isn't the first time Gillian Anderson has spoken out on topics concerning women's health and wellness. In 2017, she thus evoked the taboo of premenopause, inviting all women to speak about it freely and denouncing the lack of information on this subject.
