I hate bra's and as soon as I get home I take my bra of although I have been known to go to shop without bra, I am lucky I have small breasts.

Samu2 go measure, the interventionists are waiting Grin

Well, I'm jealous of you lot. I'm 34 E. Big boobies hanging off a little chest... they ACHE when free! Its a relief to put my bra back on!

MaxPepsi · 27/06/2013 09:00

I hate bras, and I know i'm wearing the right size.

I'm allergic to metal though and the underwires and other bits on bras irritate my skin.

I'm quite large too but happily leave the house without one on. And shock horror I go to work without them. My friends are v jealous that they are not sagging yet. the only benefit it seems of not being able to have kids

I have the sort of nipples that are still obvious through a padded bra Blush. I hate all bras.

ThreeBeeOneGee · 27/06/2013 09:04

I don't understand how the bigger breasted (E+) can go without a bra whilst up and about. I'm a G and would be in danger of knocking out one of the children if I turned around suddenly. I like to keep my breasts close to my chest so I know where they are.

Well here's a warning to all you bra less swingers!

I used to work in an office with a bus stop outside it. We had floor to ceiling windows and a woman used to come every day and stand in front of the window waiting for her bus. Her boobs were sooooo huge & droopy that she used to put them behind her and we could actually see her nipples squashed against the glass when she had her back to us!

we used to sing 'do you boobs hang low, can you swing em to & fro can you tie them in a knot can you tie then in a bow.........

Binkyridesagain · 27/06/2013 09:07

I have 32J boobs, I haven't ko'd a child yet with them, I've tried it with DH but he enjoys it, so I've had to stop

CelticPromise · 27/06/2013 09:07

I wear a bra 24/7. I'm more comfortable with than without. I'd get a crop top for sleeping but I haven't found one that can contain bigger cup sizes.

SorrelForbes · 27/06/2013 09:08

MamaChubbyLegs A 34 isn't actually a little chest. A correct band size for many women in the dress size 10-14 bracket is usually smaller than a 34. Have you measured according the guides linked to up thread?

TerraNotSoFirma · 27/06/2013 09:09

Thanks stat

ThreeBeeOneGee · 27/06/2013 09:12

Hopasholic: did she sling them over her shoulders like a regimental soldier or tuck them under her arms? Or loop them under her crotch??

NeoMaxiZoomDweebie · 27/06/2013 09:37

FFs if you don't like them and your boobs don't hurt without them then don't wear them! They're not mandatory!

Sallyingforth · 27/06/2013 09:44

I'm a 34D and rarely wear a bra. Work from home and feel more comfortable without. For business meetings I wear a suit so no nipples showing to distract clients. Only time I put one on is going out in the evening with a very small top.

digerd · 27/06/2013 09:58

I am small breasted, but no longer pert. I have breathing difficulties and a bra makes it worse. I even dance without a bra and nothing bounces, swings or flaps up and dow. My ribs are free to expand and I can breathe freely.
I do wear a bra if going out/having visitors and wearing a fitted top, to enhance my breasts shape. Comes off as soon as I am home alone.

digerd · 27/06/2013 09:59

"down"

MarianForrester · 27/06/2013 10:02

Oblomov - the Primark crop top bras are really comfy and give some support. I was sceptical as I have pretty big norks, but they are really good.

littleginger · 27/06/2013 11:31

What the hell i just did the bra guru thing and have gone from 34c to 32f?!!!! I dont think i can measure correctly will try again. They do not look like f cups in the slightest.

littleginger · 27/06/2013 11:38

What the hell ive measured again and got same. Im a bit sceptical as i dont have big page 3 boobies. What would a page 3 girl measure as, cup z?!

sparkle12mar08 · 27/06/2013 11:40

But and F cup on a 32 back really isn't that big. It's only about both your hands cupped together, it's not like it's rucksack sized! And it's only 3 cup sizes different from the 34C equivalent - which really, really isn't much at all. I promise!

sparkle12mar08 · 27/06/2013 11:42

Most natural page 3's are probably around a 26 or 28 E/F or more if they measured properly. Jordan is closer to 26 H/J levels.

sparkle12mar08 · 27/06/2013 11:44

And please, please, please don't fall for the myth the media peddles that anything above a D must mean loose morals and/or no brains. Your immediate leap to comparing large boobs to page 3 scares me.

FrenchRuby · 27/06/2013 11:50

According to that chart I should be a 30 G, that is rubbish, I tried on a 32 the other day and I could just about do it up and it was awfully uncomfortable and dug in so much it gave me awful back fat. I wear a 36D which tbh is probably the wrong size too but it's the only size that is comfortable. But then again I don't have boobs, I have flaps of skin which is why I wear a bra as much as possible, I hate taking mine off.

FrenchRuby · 27/06/2013 11:51

Oh and I tried all that scooping and stuff and didn't make a bit of difference, I had fat poking out all over the place!

SconeInSixtySeconds · 27/06/2013 12:03

I am currently wearing a not uncomfortable 40d, but using that measuring technique I am a 36j...

A J?!

I would never be able to buy nice bras again!
