This is correct. After two kids, DW had a lift. The surgeon recommended wearing a bra as much as possible to counter the effects of gravity.

As a man, I far prefer boobs with a little/or more sag.

This is very gratifying to hear.

I am the PP who posted regarding the lift. In true DCUM fashion, there seems to be a subtle, snarky tone of disapproval to the subsequent posts. I'll say this, DW is an athlete who had to wear two bras after childbirth when participating in sports due to the sag. Her lift was for functional reasons, not aesthetic. I don't question her choice one bit and neither should anyone else.

Male here whose said he prefers some sag. There was no snark in my comment at all. My point was that there is nothing wrong with natural saggy boobs, or stretch marks or muffin tops.

Cuz no one wants to see your pointy, droopy and/or floppy boobs around town.

And yet men with pointy, droopy and/or floppy tits parade them all over them place.

Breast tissue can creep into your side and back if you don’t wear a bra. Then you have issues if you get breast cancer.

Wear a bra, ladies.

It's so tiresome when younger generations think they are the first one with an idea and have no concept of where we've been as a culture.

OP, we've done this before. Google 1960s bra-burning feminism. Maybe it'll catch on the second time around. But the first time, the backlash was strong and the pendulum swung back again, giving us icons of "feminine power" like.... Paris Hilton... and Kim Kardashian...and Cardi B. Do we have to go through all this again?

Go ahead, PP. You do you. No one is stopping you from your tit parade.

Men are held to different standards. It's not fair, it's reality. When I was 13 and had just started developing and didn't have my first bra yet, older boys and men made sexual comments about my pointy nipples. Everything from "cute" to "sexy". Again, I was barely 13. I wore thick sweatshirts every day until I finally got a bra and have never been seen in public without a bra and definitely never showing nipples. Men are disgusting.

Yes. You can fight the pit tit by bending forward when putting your bra on.

I think you're the one who needs to google that. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-45303069

This has nothing to do with what I said, but go off I guess.

I have well-fitted bras, but going braless is always more comfortable than wearing an underwire. I’m a C cup and know that at this size I would get looks if I didn’t wear a bra. Why does this absurd societal rule exist?

I’m not offended by breasts and don’t really care if people choose to wear bras in public or not but as someone with DDs, I am much more comfortable wearing a bra to going bra less. I wear bras all the time even while WFH and while sleeping. They hurt and cause back issues if I walk around unsupported. You can find comfortable bras out there. You don’t have to wear underwire (I hardly ever do).

Meant to say *my breasts hurt and it causes back issues if I am not wearing a bra for a long period of time.

You guys are making this up, right?
