I don't leave the house without Industrial strength scaffolding nowadays!!
'Tis wrong.

misdee · 25/06/2008 18:53

if i attempted to leave the house without bra on, i would feel them swinging down near my ankles

i have seen some awful sights this summer so far.

Because they are very uncomfortable? I don't wear a bra, very rarely have, except when I was breastfeeding. When I wear one (some outfits really do require) I feel like I am wearing harness, and these are "properly fitted" bras. But then I am an A cup, so not a lot to strap in really.

misdee, I'm guessing they think they look sexy or something. The thought of it turns my stomach tbh.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 25/06/2008 18:55

Some of them are actually wearing bras but you wouldnt know it

Actually, I saw a woman today who was large, larger than me. All over. She was wearing a long top with the Y shape border down the neck and the line that is supposed to go under the bust. Cept hers was sat across the top of her bust and was clearly too small and the wrong design. Surely she looked in a mirror before she went out?

misdee · 25/06/2008 18:55

oh these ladies werent an a cup. more like dd+

am actually of women who have perky boobs that stay up by themselves.

TheCoderator · 25/06/2008 19:27

MrsMattie · 25/06/2008 19:27

Why are the nin-bra-wearers always women with HUGE norks?

NotQuiteCockney · 25/06/2008 19:27

Maybe they only have badly-fitting bras, and hence find them uncomfortable?

(Arse, must buy new bras while in Canada, am sure my size has changed. Oh, and I do go out without a bra sometimes, but am barely a B-cup, so no waist-level nipples here)

MrsMattie · 25/06/2008 19:28

sorry, non bra wearers

NotQuiteCockney · 25/06/2008 19:28

Lots of small-breasted women go without bras, I know one of my friends does. But of course you don't notice ...

I keep wanting to hassle running women about good sports bras, that's the only time it really bugs me. Seeing them bounce makes my boobs hurt.

mimsum · 25/06/2008 23:14

I never used to wear a bra until I got pg with ds1 - didn't need to unless whatever i was wearing was see-through! on the rare occasion I did wear one I hated it - soooo uncomfortable

sadly, 3 children later they are no longer pert so it's bras every day now ...

nappyaddict · 25/06/2008 23:29

i am only a c cup and i have to wear a bra if not just for the fact that otherwise everyone can see my norks through my clothes.
