I’m 54 and rarely wear a bra anymore. I don’t wear tight or see through clothes, but I no longer feel any need to dress to please other people. 38G

I guess so. My teenager doesn’t like wearing a bra, and says a lot of girls don’t .

I can concur with this based on my experiences with my own teenager. Most of them have a refreshing attitude when it comes to their bodies. They are much more relaxed about things like body hair or wearing bras. Honestly it is the moms who have a problem with it. The kids are gonna be alright.


I actually think it's more of a problem and tracks with an attitude that nothing needs to be private anymore, like their own pubic hair, as an offshoot of everything on social media for public consumption. I don't want to know what friends or strangers pubes look like. Or their nipples.

But I'm also a mom and pretty uptight about these things, so that tracks with your post.

I’m a 36C and I don’t even like the no underwire sleep type bras. I feel best when they’re locked and loaded and not bouncing around. It’s not for other people. I DGAF about that. It’s for my comfort.

I’m tired of people societal expectations on women. Men wear shirts with their nipples visible through the material, why can’t women without being sexualized. Look at women’s swimwear, thongs and cheeky cuts are the norm. Men’s swimsuits haven’t changed.


I saw a man in a thong in the Bahamas. Not a pretty sight.

I usually wear a thin cotton sports bra that offers little support or nipple obfuscation but keeps the jiggling under control. I generally wear pretty loose shorts or shrugs though so my nipples aren’t exactly visible anyway. I can’t stand underwire and only wear real bras if I want extra padding. A cup size though — so glad to be back to it after the last three years of pregnancy and nursing.

I could easily go without because I have a small chest but…mine are not at all symmetrical and it makes me self conscious. Bras even them out visually. Something about nursing for years made one bigger than the other.
Choose what you want!

As a Frenchwoman, I beg to differ. No one I know in my native country fails to wear correct underwear in public.

And no, braless is not a trend. You can live in your own echo chamber if you want, as long as you know you're in one! Seems to be a fundamental truth you have to recognize about yourself. Also rather important for politics...



My own echochamber? I'm simply stating that it's currently a trend. You disagree, which I guess puts you in your own echochamber, right?





No, I am pointing out that the world is large and that there are microtrends all the time. When I was little in France, a lot of women and their mother and grandmother were topless on French beaches. Now there's a more conservative trend and fewer women are topless these days. This is an example of a historical trend you probably were not aware of. You need to realize that the trend you are describing is only noticeable to a very tiny subset of the world population.

Point: you don't need to follow trends or overthink them, because there will always be more people who are unaware of trends than there are people following them.

I grew up in the Mediterranean, and yes, there were tons of women who did not wear tops at the beach in the 80s and early 90s. You don't see that as much these days. I will say though, that women in my country, especially in the summer do not wear bras as much as American women do. Most of my American mom friends (even the thin/small chested ones) would NEVER go out without a bra... but these are also the same women who would never wear a two piece to the community pool. Most Americans are still kind of prudish and conservative in that regard.


This is true. Even when I had a good body I was too embarrassed to wear a bikini.

Wish I could go braless…but my breast size does not allow it. As soon as I get in my house that’s the first thing that comes off.

My tits are one of my best features. 32E and like round, hard balloons. They look fake, but they're real. I would NEVER.

I rarely wear a bra. I’m average sized (36C/34B) but my boobs are really dense and I’ve never had kids so they barely move. I don’t worry about nipples showing through. We’ve all got them.

I am the rare woman that loves wearing bras. But, it's difficult to wear many dresses without the bra showing through, etc so I'm moving towards backless bras. And, also moving toward just using tape. I gave up underwear like a decade ago and don't miss it, and I'm hoping I get used to having no bra also.

If I could go braless, I would in a heartbeat. After 3+ years of nursing there’s just no way. I’m large-chested, so there’s lots of uncomfortable jiggling. Also: gravity has taken over and it gets SO grossly sweaty under there. Nothing but underwire for me.

I go braless all the time. AA cup. I do wear a bra in any professional setting as well as anything related to my kid (school drop off/pick up, PTA meetings and other school events) because I know people might judge me for it and I don't want my kid to get judged by proxy. But otherwise, I feel not compunction to wear one.
