    I can barely stand to wear them anymore. I didn’t realize I was only able to deal with them because I had built up a tolerance. Now it’s free boobin or a bralette 95% of the time but even bralettes get oppressive after too long

    If you don’t need a bra, you don’t have to wear one. Fuck oppressive societal expectations.

    I’m top heavy and never wear a bra anymore. Fuck bras.

    Maybe it’s my autism speaking though, I’ve heard most women don’t mind a bra, whereas it’s actual fucking torture to me to wear a “well fitting” bra.

      I was 42 years old when I finally gave myself permission to jusy wear my super comfy nursing sleeping bras all the time (I haven’t nursed for two years). It’s enough support for me (also top heavy) without any of the hastle that every mf bra has something that feels like torture.

      It’s liberating.

      Women generally hate bras, at least in my experience. I’ve met a few young women who claimed they didn’t mind or women who wear them because they need to but I’ve never heard a woman express enjoyment about wearing a bra

    Also top heavy, and i have to wear a bra, because skin-on-skin = sweat and discomfort. But I also can’t find a supportive bra without huge straps, nor have i been able to criss-cross, or otherwise remove them from visibility, so I cant wear cute tanks or halter tops without a coverlet.

      See, I want bigger straps because they cut in :-/

      I’ve been wearing pull-over bras for a little while, so much more comfy, but a) can still see my nipples, and b) they don’t offer much support, juuust enough I don’t have to descend stairs carefully to avoid discomfort

      criss-cross? what’s that?

      i mainly wear the ones with straps you can remove, but the soft ones.

      tried padded bras, they felt a bit too metallic.
