Wearing a bra

Along with choosing to shave your armpits and wearing heels or flats?

No doubt that will make you Prime Minister! Climb High!

regardless of the bra issue it seems outrageous to me that we are suffering like this because of contraception and GP's are 'very keen' on implants and reluctant to remove them!
Can I remind everyone that if you are having PIV sex barrier methods of contraception exist and don't mess with your body.

Bra wise I think size is the crucial factor- I'm 34GG and would be uncomfortable without a bra, never mind how it looks/what others think.

The Sloggi ‘zero feel’ bralette is your friend , OP

I've got fairly large boobs and for the last couple of years been wearing stretchy crop top things...no one has noticed.
Well my best friend has but he's permanently impressed by the cleavage without wearing a bra.

OP, try a good quality sports bra with good support in the band and across the back.

I never wore a bra when at uni and about your age and now gravity has been very unkind with the results, although that's not the case for every woman. These days I wear a light sports bra even when at home because it's just more comfortable.

Until you sort out the contraceptive implant you may find it more comfortable to wear a bra, but finding one may be the tricky bit.

I haven't worn one in years. My family think it's odd and I used to get comments from my mum and sisters, so I guess it must be noticeable. No one else has ever mentioned it and I stopped feeling self conscious about it a long time ago.

*They're a happy medium...

You might be better off with a bralette rather than a traditional underwire.They're a happy medium until you can get your implant out and everywhere from M&S to Tu sell them now. Very popular among women who are breastfeeding as they are comfortable but still provide some support.

Saggage I assume that's a technical term 😂

They look like moobs

I’m pretty flat chested... an AA cup and I still wear a bra as I look like I have puppies noses under my top. They’re pointy as there’s no weight to them.

I had my implant removed early as I had horrendous mood/mental health side effects. The GP was a bit sour-faced about it but did agree. Definitely keep asking if you are sure you want it out and explain how uncomfortable it is making you. Good luck.

This OP is just plain weird.

Still saying your question is valid here, but wonder if a question your reaction to the implant might be worth sharing on the health board. To deal with that aspect, though hope your GP will get back to you soon.

When I was a little B cup I didnt wear one or did. It didnt seem to make much difference. Then children and I went from B to C and then D, so wore one for years.
Now, peri / menopausal and its so damned uncomfortable that the majority of the time I dont.
the only times I do it for something formal or if something I want to wear is just not cut for the saggage. But Im likely to rip the damn thing off as soon as I get home.

You totes sound just like the kind of female chick I would like to discuss my girly boobs with. LOL.

Xox

Just chiming in to say that I agree with the PP, you shouldn't be expected to put up with sore boobs. Keep making a fuss with the GP until you find contraception that works for you. And if you can't then put your foot down and insist on a condom. Life's too short for sore boobs.

I rarely wear one. I have a couple of thin tops I wear one with, and I wear one for yoga. I am just a A-cup though. I guess I might make a different decision if I were larger - probably it would depend on how comfortable I felt.

How long ago did you have the implant? I think a little time for it to settle is one thing, but if it's going on and on and your breaststroke are still really tender, that's another, and I agree you should go back to your GP. They like long term contraception, but if it's too uncomfortable for you, then maybe you should be thinking about other forms; not all GPs will be keen on this idea. But regardless of whether or not women should wear bras or not, it's generally accepted that we do, so they should feel comfortable, and if contraception means bras which were okay no longer are, then you shouldn't be expected just battle on with a stiff upper lip. Nor sore breasts.

I don't notice whether other women are wearing a bra or not, just be you.
