do you like wearing a bra

[Alainaluvsu]

God no. I hate em. If I could get away with not, I would. I especially hate when you raise your arms and the stupid thing rides. Or when the shoulder straps seem to adjust themselves. Or if you lean over some certain way and the wire moves and your boobs move out of the sides of the cups a little bit. Or simply the feeling of the straps themselves is less comfortable than without.

At first I used to love it because it felt edgy. Now I just have to pray when I put the thing on it doesn't bother me later in the day to make me adjust it too much. When I get home I hope my roommate has no company so I can take the stupid thing off.

At home or a quick run to the little store, No I don't wear one.  Another time, yes.  As someone said it is social convention.

[Ltl89]

It's whatever.  I don't really see it as a plus or negative.  Maybe I'm weird for this.

No, not weird, just diffrent, as is everyone.

I always wear a bra in public, and sometimes at home too, but I'll be the first to admit that once in awhile it starts riding up under my girls and it's always in public when it happens. Then I want to scream, but truthfully, I enjoy it most of the time. One thing that bugged me and a lot of other women on a site I no longer visit is that a moderator said in no uncertain terms that if you didn't take it off immediately after you got home you were essentially a crossdresser, which I found amusingly offensive.

Like having the two reasons that cause me to wear a bra, and I'm glad I really need one.  But it's unhooked and tossed aside when I get home. 

[Jill F]

I like the fact I need one now...

[sam79]

I loved the day I realised that I'd have to wear bras for the rest of my life... 

Since then, while I wear them all day every day, I do look forward to taking it off for bed.

Might add too, the target bras I bought are really comfortable, enough that I forget it's there most of the time.

[FalseHybridPrincess]

I kinda like it , I wish they was something there to hold though...

[Emily.T]

I look forward to the when I need to wear one instead of choosing to wear one.

I'm still using the bra that I ordered off of the internet quite a while ago. The sizing was an educated guess but I seemed to have gotten pretty close with it and as time passes I'm filling it a lot better. With incessant adjustments I've finally got the shoulder strap slipping off thing lessened, but it's not perfect.

So right now my experience is that wearing it is aggravating due to the slipping straps and the band does get less comfortable as the day goes by. It's a nice feeling to pull it off at the end of the day. It does make me look more curvy and femme, and I've now officially joined the sisterhood of women that have to put up with a bra so that's progress LOL.

I'm holding off on getting a new one until I grow out of this one, and that leads me to a question to those who might know: I saw a post here earlier where a person had encountered resistance when she went into a few different stores for a bra fitting - is that a usual experience for trans women? I'd like to have a professional fitting on the next one, but I don't want to be embarrassed if I'm at the risk of being thrown out of the bra department because someone clocks me as MTF.

I'd say as long as you go to a big store you'll be fine, most would fear repercussions from the community and so wouldent kick ya out, so don't worry hun.

To tell the truth, besides thinking bras are uncomfortable....I would like to wear bras right now and I am really starting to need them

But I'm still on the closet and I think a bra will be quite noticeable under a t-shirt, right? Here it is summer and I can only wear t-shirts or I will end melting up. Is there any way I can wear a bra and no one really notice?

Here's what I'd do, dress in layers, like wear a jacket or something, and tis the season right?

If your bra is uncomfortable, you're not wearing the right one.   I tend to forget I'm wearing one.

You could always try a training bra, they don't have cups, and it gets you used to wearing a bra.

that's wear I got mine it was on clearance  and its so comfortable

[KabitTarah]

I hope my camis come in soon - ordered some on sale (L & XL)... I have no reason to wear a bra yet (though maybe I could fit into a 36A or 38A).

[Lyric]

I certainly don't love wearing a bra, but I can't say as I dislike it. It keeps those big ole babies from flopping around all them time . I'm kidding, there. Actually, I'm so small I can go without one, but I try to wear one often because I believe they help maintain breast a more feminine shape. I don't think there's any scientific proof of that, but it makes sense to me. My only problem with them is that I'm long waisted, but skinny, so straps tend to be too short. I have to shop around to find a good fit.

[angiegurl]

I am getting to the point to where I need to wear one. But right now the ladies are complaining so I don't. I just have a cami on under my shirt. A couple more months and I won't have much choice - i hope.  I am sure there will come a point where I don't like them.
