To ask, are you wearing a bra!?

I'm at work, I've been to Court this morning, no air-con. Our office has no air con either, I'm dying and my bra is killing me.

I could get away with not wearing a bra, I want to remove it.....I'm toying with letting everything get some stagnant warm air Blush

Would you?

I hate not wearing bras and I only have small boobs!

Lomex · 19/07/2022 16:35

I've given up on bras. I am more comfortable without one. I've decided the idea that women should wear bras when I have a top on is just another victory for the patriarchy. (Obviously different if a bra actually helps you feel more comfortable))

I’m not wearing one but will put one on to go to Tesco later.

Ciela · 19/07/2022 16:37

40 HH so yes I am. Nightmare though so I can’t wait to get home today.

HouseofGods · 19/07/2022 16:38

Always have a bra of some description on and I'm a tiny 28C. Started with a gym one and now have a normal one on.

Thepeopleversuswork · 19/07/2022 16:39

I've never understood the bra phobia which so many people seem to have both on here and in RL. I find the feeling of having my boobs flopping about so unpleasant I could never go anywhere without a bra.

Also the bra won't make a difference to the heat, surely?

Anothernamechangeplease · 19/07/2022 16:40

No, but I have been at home all day!

HelenHywater · 19/07/2022 16:40

I haven't worn one for the last 2 days. It's revelatory - I don't really want to go back to it tbh. But I've been wfh, and not sure about RL bralessness.

LikeAStar1994 · 19/07/2022 16:41

I haven't worn a bra for months. I feel so much better without one.

Your comfort is what's important. I'd be wondering what the hell people were doing looking at your chest in the first place? 🤔

Creeps.

lurchermummy · 19/07/2022 16:45

Yes my enormous boobs would be a liability but I envy my daughters in their little strappy tops

ForeverandAlways4 · 19/07/2022 16:48

If you have big bazookas like me, I find it better to wear a bra in this heat than not wearing one. Mine just hangs and gets sweaty underneath.

If you have seedless grapes then I could see why you wouldn't want to wear one.

SunnyKlara · 19/07/2022 16:49

Yep I am. But I never find bras uncomfortable, so I seem to be in the minority

SneezesHaveStarted · 19/07/2022 16:52

I can’t abide the feeling of being braless. Even at night I wear a crop top with a support shelf. I have 38G’s but even when they were smaller I hated the feeling.

dementedpixie · 19/07/2022 16:03

I get horrendous under boob sweat without a bra so mine are always contained during the day (36GG)

So much this - doesn't help I'm 40 weeks pregnant so with the boobs resting on the bump it's not a pleasant experience at the best of times never mind in this heatN of be worried I wouldn't be able to pry them apart at the end of the day if I went braless! Can't even bear a non wired one at the moment.

kimfox · 19/07/2022 16:55

No. Well, not exactly. I am wearing a swimming costume - with a built in bra (!) even though I am at home I have had to pull on shorts and T shirt to go out, and no one should be subjected to my bra-less personage.

Jibberty · 19/07/2022 16:59

Nope. Maxi halter neck dress on. I don’t think I’ll need to go out again, but if I do I will not be putting one on. (36F with no fucks to give).

StStephensTower · 19/07/2022 16:04

I am not wearing a bra & only put knickers on as I had to leave the house briefly (no pun intended). To be fair I am WFH & no video calls today

You left the house in only your knickers?
Respect in this weather ✊

Ok, it's coming off!! I just can't anymore. There's a bastard underwire and everything feels confined and hot, hot, hot!!!! Off to the loo's I crawl.

Thank you for the support, or not. Smile

I’m moving to non wired after the tyranny of underwire for most of my adult life. I bought one in M & S last week and it was heaven. I’ve another on order, different style but non wired.

And no tight bra straps either, no thank you!

Anyway I absolutely empathise with your pain and hope you feel much more comfortable after liberating your boobs!

Same! I definitely feel hotter without one on!

PussGirl · 19/07/2022 17:21

I'm small of boob & almost never wear one, working or not - occasionally wear one if I feel like dressing up Smile

ShinyHatStand · 19/07/2022 17:26

WFH in a sports bra.
Sticking an ice cube down there every half hour or so 😂

MaxOverTheMoon · 19/07/2022 17:27

No but I don't have big boobs so it doesn't show in the dress I'm wearing today.

LakieLady · 19/07/2022 17:29

I wore one to work but the minute I got home, off it came.

I swear my tits were 5 degree hotter than the rest of me.

Shehasadiamondinthesky · 19/07/2022 17:32

If I had small pert boobs I would but I don't so no. I'm in a Doreen.

DoingJustFine · 19/07/2022 17:43

I find wearing a bra comfier than not wearing a bra. So, yes. Yes I am.
