Southwest China female undergraduates′ cognition of brassier and related reasons

In order to understand the cognition of brassieres of female undergraduates in Southwest China,this article made an investigation on the cognition of brassieres of 200 junior undergraduate female students born and grown up in Southwest China from both in psychological and physiological aspects.The result shows,in the aspect of psychology,because of the influence of cultural background and lack of psychological guidance on breast development,74.5% female students would feel embarrassed when first wearing brassieres.In the aspect of physiology,the community does not pay sufficient attention to popularize the basic knowledge of brassieres in the adolescent females and the particularity of students,so that this group accepts little professional knowledge about it and their cognition is limited.As a result,86% female students do not know when they should begin to wear brassieres,79.5% have the experience of sleeping with brassieres,and 46.0% can not choose proper sizes of brassieres for themselves.
