But there's more to it than that claims bra expert, Sarah Martin-Allon from Lounge Underwear.
In fact, she revealed that wearing a bra isn't the problem - it's the type you're wearing.
One way to prevent sagging boobs is to ensure your bra is the right size rather than too small.
She said: "The study claims that the cause of the sag is due to circulation - which would actually come from a poorly fitting bra, so wearing the right size shouldn’t affect your natural changes.
"Wearing a bra that’s too tight can cause more issues than just discomfort and re-measuring your bra size every 6 months is crucial to make sure you’re providing the right support for your breasts without compromising on comfort."
