Wearing a bra

Since having the implant put in my boobs have hurt like CRAZY!!! I'm waiting to hear back from the doctors as all contraceptives do this to me. But wearing a bra hurts so much and is really uncomfortable.

Not wearing a bra is so much more comfortable for me at the minute but I'm worried to leave the house without one on. If I saw another person not wearing a bra it wouldn't bother me in the slightest.. but I know other people aren't so accepting and are judgmental on the topic.

What are people's experiences leaving the house without a bra? Have you been judged and what do you all think?? Sorry if this seems like a ridiculous question, I just need some girly advice lol. Please no hate!!Smile

I tend to wear those sports bra/cropped workout tops. They are comfy and last better than bras. I haven't worn a bra with underwire for at least 5 years.

I would happily not wear a bra at all but I think it would be seen as unprofessional.

Try you hardest at all times to be like a girl. lol.

The OP didn't mention jiggling. The OP mentioned pain. As a fellow sufferer (or, at least in my pre-meno days I was), I get this.

Maybe the OP is a plant, so to speak. But don't forget that some of us do experience problems with sore breasts and/or want to flaunt gender roles or expectations of femininity by not wearing bras.

Wish I could get away with not wearing a bra. I used to be able to. Then breastfeeding happened. Now I am obsessive over ensuring they look like they're the same size.

I haven’t worn one for years unless I was doing some very strenuous exercise or if a top was at all see through.
I’m not very large chested so it’s probably not too noticeable to others but I couldn’t care less anyway.

I’ve stopped wearing them I have trouble putting them on this heatwave I sweat, best thing I’ve done.

@YetAnotherSpartacus

Dont you have a plaster or bandage around the implant site till its healed

Contraceptive implant... not fake boobs.

I'd imagine the OP doesn't want fake boobs to be excluded from this conversation about boob jiggling though.

Wear a vest under your clothes. I’ve no idea why you would want to hear about other women’s experiences of not wearing a bra! That sounds very creepy and there are no girls on Mumsnet, just women.

"Tell me about your jiggling boobs" Hmm

Honestly, I think you would be better off posting this in style and beauty.

On the feminism board you are more likely to get an analysis of whether you should feel judged for not wearing a bra, which is an interesting conversation, but perhaps not what you are looking for.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 10/08/2020 14:46

I haven't worn a bra for about 30 years. Hate the fuckers. I have been judged - but I frankly don't care. I do wear vests though.
