Is this genuinely unacceptable?… I know some people wear bras because they have to. But I don’t have to as they’re frickin tiny.

I hate wearing one, and often wear a bralet/crop top type one. But in work I wear a normal padded one as I don’t want my nips poking through…. But is this an unnecessary thought process?

Is it okay to not wear a padded bra in the work place, and is it okay to not wear a bra at all in public?

I obvs have a top on!

Yes it’s absolutely fine. Men do it all the time 😂

They often have bigger ones than me!

Unless you are walking around topless it's no one else's business whether you choose to wear a bra or not

Defo not topless. But my boobs are so small they poke out!
