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.   
Love is not obedience, conformity, or submission. It is a counterfeit love that is contingent upon authority, punishment, or reward. True love is respect and admiration, compassion and kindness, freely given by a healthy, unafraid human being....  - Dan Barker

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.

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!).

My personal transition path included medical changes.  The path others take may require no medical intervention, or different care.  We each find our own path. I provide these dates for the curious.

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.
