Has anyone worn a bra over the last few days?

I haven't actually worn one in a week now and it's much more comfortable .

Bra free since 17th March here! I love taking off my bra when I get home. I do have some stretchy crop tops, but I'm just as comfy without - although a bit more bouncy if I go for a brisk walk!

No letting them droop

I've been wearing the soft bras I bought before Christmas to wear at home.
I feel more comfortable with their support, even if minimal and without the good shape that my well fitted underwire bras give.

I do have some hairy wobbly bits, but can't help feeling that a bra is a little too niche for me, as a man.

I always wear one. I find the attitude that bras are akin to torture devices really weird. If your bra is uncomfortable, you are wearing the wrong bra.

Not always true. Plenty of women go to every bra fitter under the sun and still can't get fully comfortable (I've been to Brv*o and Rigby & Peller a million times and it's very rarely been successful. Both shops have been bordering on useless in my experience. People on here are obsessed with them on an unhealthy level).

Additionally, if there isn't much choice in your size, you're more likely to compromise and get the next best thing because you get fed up of looking for the right one.

I should add that all my shoes fit properly, but I still take them off when I get home. Even my comfy trainers. There's currently a thread going about being barefoot in the house. Yet nobody has said "a properly fitting pair of shoes should be comfortable. If you have to take them off as soon as you get home, you're wearing the wrong size".

I find my bras perfectly comfortable but I am comfortable without so only need to wear them for common decency in the cold and to suit specific outfits, otherwise let them be free.

It's a hygiene measure to take off outdoor shoes at home, anyway.
Go barefoot or wear indoor shoes instead.

Redwinestillfine · 01/04/2020 13:28

Yes! Why aren't people getting fully dressed everyday?

tectonicplates · 01/04/2020 13:30

No, I take them off because I'm more comfortable without. The hygiene is an added bonus. Comfort is the main factor, yet I still haven't met a chorus of insistent people telling me my shoes are the wrong size and that I must go to Clark's for a shoe fitting immediately.

Unknown2020 · 01/04/2020 13:30

Nope and I love it Grin also giving my skin a break from make up and my hair a rest from styling!

mynameiswah · 01/04/2020 13:35

Nope! Only when I go to the shops... because it's cold. Grin

Autumnwindinthewillows · 01/04/2020 13:43

Yes but I don't wear underwire despite being the largest cup size M&S do ( online)
Dont feel right in PJs all day

WingingItSince1973 · 01/04/2020 13:48

Nope! Ha ha. Only wear one when going out the house. Find them annoying xx

Love my bra. You'll have to prise it off my cold dead body...

Ginfordinner · 01/04/2020 15:44

Isn't it a bit chilly not to wear any Smilethoyourheartisbreaking?

AtLeastThreeDrinks · 01/04/2020 16:22

God no, I wear a bra as little as possible (E cup but small back size). I find them so uncomfortable. Winter is perfect when you can wear a thick jumper and no one can tell, although in my dream world it would be socially acceptable to just let them hang out. I see blokes with bigger boobs than me visible through t-shirts and no one's asking them to cage them in.

bluebellation · 01/04/2020 16:24

All you non bra wearers might live to regret this in years to come when your boobs have sagged down to your navel Grin

Carrie7469 · 01/04/2020 16:25

No

Mascotte · 01/04/2020 16:29

Dear god, of course! If I unleashed them the sun round be blacked out
