I'm finding that with certain dresses going bra less is quite comfortable.

The bra is definitely the first thing to come off when I get home. :) I can't go out in public braless, though.

I luv all kinds of lingerie and underwear, though I luv not wearing them much more than I do wearing them, and other than for only certain occasions, I rarely wear them.

Nope gotta have something to cover and pulled across the girls, "First Bra" crop tops do the jobs otherwise the constant rubbing gets more than a little uncomfortable...My nipples are very sensitive :icon_yikes: at the moment. :)

I like the way bras feel, but my situation is not conducive to indulging my preferences.   I might be odd though, I like the feel of my heavy, black waist training corset cranked down hard enough to leave blisters on my hand...  And I have metal hooks in the wall so I can use leg strength past that.

lol.

I have a couple of dresses that are of a stretch soft fabric and fit quite properly for the breast area. I find it too tempting to not to wear a bra. I have a couple of lace dresses where I have to wear a bra.

I voted either way. Some outfits require it, some do not. When i am home and it is evening time, i never wear a bra because to me that would sort of feel strange. Having said that i do not find properly fitting bras to be that uncomfortable.

I attended a fair recently in t-shirt, jeans, sandals and braless and it felt awesome and casual. Then it rained hard and then i was wet and cold and the "headlights were on" so to speak. I sort of wished i had worn one.

I find them uncomfortable and so rarely wear one.

Victoria's Secret has some crocheted bralettes that I find comfortable and offer me both a bit of protection over my sensitive nipples and a pleasing degree of femininity. A win/win for me. - Anne

If I go braless I get stares from strangers and my lovely spouse likes to tease me a bit

I have perky boobs and unusually long firm nipples that are pokie in even lightly padded bras, it doesn't really bother me much since I see so many girls doing the same thing anymore.

I love all my pretty, lacy and colorful bras :)

Seldom wear one unless my top is VERY sheer. I like to looks from others.

Bra less all the way.. not always feasible

I certainly can't go out in public with nipples poking out under a blouse, so I almost always wear a bra. I love my maidenforms. However, I will not sleep in one.

Like Elizabeth K, I really can't go without one.  The chafing and any bumps really hurt right now.  A lightly padded, no underwire model, or a sports bra for workouts is needed.  For sleeping, a tank top is sufficient to avoid too much Ouch (unless the cat jumps on me again!).

Maybe I'm a little odd, but I love wearing a bra. I wanted to wear one most of my life and now I wear one everyday, but not for sleeping. It feels great.

I try to dress strategically to not wear a bra most days, but I'll wear one if I need a confidence boost or I want to wear something that'll look better with a bra

I actually really don't mind wearing a bra. I wear one daily, the only time I don't wear one is when I am in my pjs.

I have 36D breasts, so for me the support my bras give me is amazing,.. In the past I have had a professional bra fitting and that lady told me, if you wear the right size bra, it will feel like you are not wearing one.. that fitting revealed I was wearing the wrong cup and band size. The first time I tried on a 36D bra, it was amazing how comfortable the bra was.

A professional fitting in the right bra, can feel like you are not even wearing one, even with large boobs as noleen111 reported.

Post by: becky.rw on September 13, 2016, 11:52:29 AM
That may be why I like the ones I have, is that they were fitted in person, and while I can't fill out the cup, the base of the cup full supports the wide base of my breast.  Its very comfortable; though I do like undergarments to be quite tight..

Of course "Certain" dresses are best bra-less. If one can "Support" that look. Which is my lead in to....

Never would I have imagined myself saying "Ahhh... it feels good to take off my bra" as many g/f's of mine have said. But after a full day in one.... However, with my barely B top I kinda appreciate having the bra there for support. I don't exactly miss the days of not needing one. In fact I have this fantasy of barely B being a full C which will certainly remove the no-bra option except for clothing made for that look

I like the dresses and tops where the bra is built into the clothing

Not on HRT yet,  so bras help with visualization, along with forms.

Now, we'll see what I think once the girls start coming in. [emoji5]

Even though I dress as male, a bra is part of my daily attire.  I've worn every day for about 1.5 years because I just want to.  Going bra less is not an option.

I don't really have any major breast development yet, so camis are more comfortable. I have tried bralettes, but prefer camis.

My bra comes off when my contacts come out, usually. :)
I voted either way. though.  It just depends on where I am going, what I am wearing and whom I will be with.

Mine just hurt if I don't wear a bra...I am sure once they have stopped growing and being so darn tender I will be able to go braless more often but I am with Joanne...it feels great to take it off at the end of the day....ahhhhhh
