What do you think about going braless?

[Anonymous]

I am nursing, I have huge nipples and they are often sore. I hate wearing a bra with a passion. Before I ever had kids, the first thing I would do when walking in the house after school or work was to take off my bra and breathe a sigh of relief. Now, I have an even better reason to hate bras.

What is the rule/etiquette on going braless? Never in public? What about a run to a Starbucks' drive through? What about opening the door for pizza delivery? What about pumping gas? DH is always telling me to put a bra on, and my sister reminds me that our mom hated bras and my sister was always so embarrassed when my mom went braless. I do not remember that at all or ever feeling embarrassed about it. I usually keep a hoodie on to throw on in case I will see another person, but you know, it's 100 degrees here today. Is it really that bad to go braless? If I do, I'm usually wearing a huge tshirt so I'm not trying to show anything off, but you can definitely tell things are flopping around in there.

Well, I'm a G cup, so not going to happen. Uncomfortable and looks obscene (for me). Plus it makes me look about 20 lbs heavier than when I'm wearing a well fitted, well made underwire.

But you do you.

I think it looks horrible. I wouldn't walk out to check the mail without a bra on. I'm only a 34 C, but still, ew.

I think women need to stop judging other women's appearance - and need to stop seeking other women's permission to look how they want to look.

Op, do what makes you comfortable.

Just do it. You won't feel sore for too much longer so you'll be back to bra wearing soon enough.

I would love to do it more often. I am in the 42 DDD/G territory. Definitely at night after dinner, somedays I only last to tea time. I only go out bra less if I am taking the dog out in our yard for a pee break.

This is what people will think.

No offense, but really, unless you're an A cup, no one wants to see what you look like without a bra.

What if you invite people over for tea?

+1 especially while you're nursing . You're probably huge! I can get away with it but I'm petite / thin and b cup . Ive usually wear loose clothes too so that helps.

At the very least, wear a soft sleep bra if you will even maybe see anyone outside your nuclear family.

Op seriously who cares. I went braless all the time when I had perfect, perky a cups. After breast beefing two kids I'm more comfortable with a bra than without but I don't think twice about going out without one. If I were you though, I'd work harder to find ones that are more comfortable.

Beefing. Haha. Obvs feeding.

I have long hair so I just take it down and put it forward if I need to cover them when im braless. I am small person but a dd cup with large nips so it's pretty distracting. Since my last baby, the nips have stayed sensitive- most awkward when the 16yr old husbands nephew came for a visit.
