Are your (bigger!) boobs ok to ever go bra free?

[fedup21]

I realised this morning (it’s been a dawning process of realisation!) that when I wear eg a vest top with pyjama bottoms to sleep in and then have breakfast in them the next morning before showering, then if anyone were to look, you’d see that my boobs (nipples!) are really a couple of inches lower than they should be. They are no longer perky-whether it’s just age, breastfeeding, pregnancy or gravity! It wasn’t a nice sideways sight in the mirror this morning!

Does this bother you being in a vest top with no bra in front of family? What about holidaying with more extended family/friends? If sharing a house for a holiday, would you put a bra on under your pyjamas for breakfast?!

Or does everyone else have perkier boobs than me?!

I wear stretchy crop tops at home, if I'm in for the day or I'm in my PJs. I sleep in them too. I would never go out anywhere without a bra on at all, I just find it really uncomfortable to not have a little bit of support.

I'm a 36F, so not huge or anything.

Good idea!

I have just bought a Molke which is a crop top type style-I love it. I could probably sleep in it as well and solve the problem!

Good God no! I would end up shutting my nipple accidentally in a drawer. I have to wear a bra under.

I’m a 38 HH and whilst I would love to go braless I would be far to uncomfortable. My post four baby boobies are not socially acceptable (not that it should be anybodies concern where my nipples happen to point).

At home I have some stretchy bralett things to wear under PJ’s although if I’m not going to see anybody I sometimes don’t bother with it. It’s good for lymph drainage to sometimes let them roam free.

No I have no issue with people seeing me wo bra in those circumstances.
I’m not going to wear a bra at night. And I’m not going to dress before b’fast.
FWIW I’m a 36H and my boobs are sagging so they are not just a bit lower

I'm 36ff and I don't like going braless. I feel self conscious that they're droopy and my nips are huge after bf two babies for too long. Dh doesn't have any complaints though thankfully.

I have no issue around family either..
Friends it depends..

Die to my current broken shoulder state I was brakes for 2 days and couldn’t bear it - but then my MIL brought me some stretchy bra things I can step into. I’m so much happier as my nipples are so south and always have been. My friends have lovely boobs- saw them in hotel room and they’re all big but nipples higher so they looked great. Yes. IWAS checking. And then depressed about my small saggy ones

Bra less not brakes FFS

I’m an h cup and go braless at home. Will go to the shop braless but in a big jumper or something. It’s not a good luck but I’m fucked if I’m going to be bound with wires all the time!

Not a good look even

Grrr, I know the feeling!

I hate bras but am 38f so wear them out of the house.
I tend to buy non wired and crop tops with padding.
At home, the bra is the first to go, but it’s usually only 8 yo ds who sees me.

Meh. If I’m going to be waltzing about someone else’s house all morning in my PJs then I put on a bra or bralette when I wake up (occasionally wear a bralwtte to sleep in but only just before my period as they are a bit sensitive and I like a little support). At home then folks generally have to take me as they find me. I normally have a dressing gown (light cotton) on over pjs so another layer.

I’m an E and my boobs are definitely a little bit further south these days (thanks to DD). I’ll happily go braless in very casual situations eg. popping to the shops, girly night in front of the tv at my best friends house. And when I do wear a bra it tends to be a soft one or a sports bra. Don’t see why I should try and force my boobs into a shape they just aren’t anymore!!

When I was admitted to hospital last week I said to the docs I knew I was in pain because I couldn't face putting a bra on. Never ever leave the house without.

I'm a GG cup, I suffer from ME/CFS & Fibromyalgia, wearing a bra is agony, I feel like my chest & shoulders are in a vice. I now wear crop tops instead of bras, I might not get the same amount of support but I'm not in as much pain.

I'm only a C, and they are reasonably perky, and I do prefer to be braless, but they wiggle a lot. If I'm walking at any decent pace they would gather notice. I do find I can make an effort (really couldn't begin to describe how I do this, it involves chest area muscles) to keep them still, but that only works for slower paces. In winter I go braless more often.

I always wear a bra, even when at home alone.

They were never perky and post kids are now dreadful (and not even symmetrical!) It's genuinely uncomfortable for me to have them bobbing about (FF/G cup) They only look good in a bra and i feel 20 years older without one

it probably hasn't helped that even my DH was never a boob man really

I’m at 36F now (thanks Boob or Bust - I was wearing a 40B!)

I always wear something. Must say since I discovered stretchy crop top type things they are all I want to wear, but seeing how much better my boobs look in an underwired correctly sized bra I do try and wear them sometimes!

I love the No Balls crop tops - so comfy and reasonably supportive if I size down

Those of you who are mentioning bralets, can you mention some good ones please that don't cost a fortune and won't take me an hour to scroll through to find one that's in stock?

I'm a 34G and have been known to go braless, but not in anything where you can see my nipples. I don't like people seeing them tbh and I really don't know why. I bfed two babies and didn't mind at all feeding in public, but I would feel weird wearing a top where someone could see through to my nipples!

Anywho, if I go braless, as I occasionally do, in some dresses, they need to have a bit of structure to them and not be high necked, as they always make my boobs look weird / massive, even if I'm wearing a bra.

I'm a total chubber at the moment so actually I sometimes look worse with loads of hold you in underwear on, if I'm wearing a top made of something a bit clingy for example, than I would without it. So I go without it! I might be disgusting though. Don't listen to me .

where they should be

But there isn't anywhere they 'should' be other than on your boobs somewhere. All natural boobs are completely different shapes and sizes. So all pairs of nipples will be different shapes and sizes and positioned differently.

There's a site somewhere that has pics of all different boobs taken by women of all ages and body types. It's really refreshing to see how different we all are. So there's nothing at all to be bothered about as far as that goes. Get them lifted and moved if you want to but please don't be critical of yourself for not being how you think you should be.

(Found the site. It's linked to in this article that explains a bit about it too www.emandlo.com/bad-boob-day-heres-what-normal-breasts-really-look-like/

Gallery is here www.007b.com/breast_gallery.php I don't know anything about the site itself just found the pics and stories helpful once when I was having some body image issues.)

All that said I don't go braless unless at home alone with DH and I want to be comfy I'd have someone's eye out if I didn't.
