I decided to go on my own mini strike, and not wear a bra until I have something to put in them and want to know what what impact this could have on me, and if I could possibly prevent possible future sagging if I’m not choosing to wear a bra for a chosen amount of time.
I used to be happy to wear a bra as soon as I started developing because what I found is, the bra hides the nipples which when you are cold, will pucker up into little beads that show through clothing if braless and males like to ogle women whose nipples they can see outline of. I am around a B in size, only C when breast feeding but due to a smaller size, I do not have saggy breasts that hang way low, or even to belly button or my lap as is the case for some big women who even with wearing a bra, though not perfect, ended up way down there.
The perky breasts that stick straight out like cones, are only something of the younger gals and I used to be like that as a teen. My husband calls my boobs, Mommy boobs because due to the change I suppose of breastfeeding earlier and now being older and all skin sagging to some degree, it has a relaxed look and doesnt sag and I've gone braless for the last 10 years as I got tired of always feeling uncomfortable no matter what bra. The only way I can explain for you clearly is to have you picture a woman sideways and the nipples are at 15 minutes after any hour position wise in a teen and now they are pointing at somewhere between 20 to 25 after but still the whole boob is in the same place, as when I was younger. Braless for a decade hasn't changed it at all for me.
I recently needed an xray and a nurse gave me a gown and asked me to take my bra off so theres no metal clips or anything metal in the xray. I told her I dont wear a bra. She told me she didnt wear one either. I hadnt noticed so I took a look now and really couldnt tell and she was as small or smaller than I on to and guessing somewhere close to 40. There are plenty of grown women without a need for a bra to hold anything in place. If you do jog or running, a running bra to handle the bouncing of the little weight so it doesnt eventually stretch the muscles. This all reminds me of a short span of years when nipple bra's were popular. Women who had to wear a bra but wanted their nipples to show to get the males looking, brought a bra with a bead sewn in right where the nipple would be. If you can handle men staring at you, which I do by simply not looking to see where they are looking, I find it easy to navigate life without any personal emotional issues attached. I have met other women my size who have never worn a bra as I did. And they are not sagging but then they are not a C or above at full maturation size wise. If you grow but never get that large, you'll be fine without. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
