Forgot to wear a bra!

[Anon998]

Really embarrassing but I’ve left the house without a bra. I was feeding baby and forgot to put it back on. I’m with DH viewing houses and it’s really embarrassing! What can I do? Don’t have DS with me so can’t even hold him to cover myself.

it’s very obvious as they’re dangling down to my tummy

Just cross your arms.

Go back home and get one or if you are too far from home pop into a supermarket and grab a temporary replacement.

Well there's no law that anyone HAS to wear a bra so don't worry about it unless it's painful

Nobody will care, and if they do it's none of your business!

Temporary? The op won’t be able to return it. That’s not what you’re suggesting?

Crack on with your day, don't highlight it by feeling self conscious and go find that house!

I've not work a bra since the start of lockdown 1.

You don't have to wear a bra! As ling as you also have a top on, don't worry!

Let them run free and wild!

No bra here, the postman seems fine with it.

Everyone saying you don't need to wear a bra - no, of course you don't, but OP clearly feels uncomfortable without one. I wouldn't want to walk around town and have to look people in the eye knowing my boobs were visibly loose either. And if she's breastfeeding, there is the added chance of leakage and discomfort.

I would second running into a supermarket for a stretchy crop top type bra. Obviously you would have to keep it but they aren't super expensive and can be useful for sleeping etc. Just pull it down to feed.

Honestly being braless is great. I haven't worn one for about three years. As someone above said, let them run wild and free 🙌🏽

Of course I’m not suggesting she return it merely that it just needs to be a basic one to get her through the day

If she's breast-feeding she probably ly should be supporting her breaststroke, have you got a spare item of clothing that you can make into a kind of bandeau?

*breasts not breast stroke!

Some women don't like bras soke don't feel comfortable without one and even sleep in one. I'm.with the op on this id feel awful too.

I dont think buying a bra is the answer for unfortunately as with clothes and shoes just picking up your size is usually not successful. You'd have to try on. And that could take a while.

Id compromise a bit. Pick up a sports top /bra or bralette/crop top of some kind.

Or failing that go to asda or whatever and pick up a cheap bikini. They usually come in dress sizes. Might be a bit easier.

Op I feel your pain. I hate my breasts without a bra (actually I hate them in a bra too). They droop and make me look like I'm in my 90's. Not to mention if I attempt to run. In fact running is a no go in anything short of an industrial sports bra which inhibits my breathing. I envy anyone who can feel OK not wearing a bra.....I can remember it being fine in my 20's pre children / breastfeeding. All I can suggest is keeping your arms folded as much as possible

I’d hate this too. I never leave the house without a bra on and I’m rarely in the house without a bra.

can you find somewhere to buy a tight vest top?

I'd go to a supermarket and buy one!

I can relate I've missed the bus more than once as I had to walk back home because I'd forgotten to wear one.

Cross your arms.

Just don’t think about the baby

I've said it once and I'll say it again. Bras are nothing but "Titty Prisons"

I rarely wear one. My comfort is far more important than people's opinions.

I fail to see the issue. I haven't worn a bra for years. Are you wearing a see through top or something?

Wet patches are a risk when breast feeding, I think I'd go back home or a buy a cardi
