I got it straight from god that you're allowed to go braless no matter how fat your tiddies are. Jesus told me to let those things swang.

I hate when ppl think me going braless is some statement or an excuse for me to have my nipples poking through my clothes bc like did it ever occur to anyone that not everything I do is for other ppl?? In fact nothing I do is for other ppl bc I don’t care about any of you.

My reason? Bras are pointless and uncomfortable. The end.

Goddamn how great would it be if women not wearing bras was just completely normalised. Like women have been so objectified over history that literally just not wearing a bra (which can get very uncomfortable and sometimes women just don’t want to wear one) is seen by some men as an invite to comment on them.

This is a re-post of one which was made on previous blog now-deleted by Tumblr.

I had found it again on @bralessinspiration and re-blogged it, but it was then blocked by Tumblr, even though NOTHING untoward can be seen.

It is simply a post to show you how you can use vibrant patterns in an otherwise semi-sheer garment to avoid revealing too much.

Let us hope that this post remains untounched

Another burnout top - indoors vs direct sunlight. Nipples and areolae only really noticeable if one had to stare- this is thanks to the busy pattern. Cleavage / outline of breasts only slightly apparent in the outdoor pic as the sun was directly overhead…

If you wear a bra very often the ligaments of your breasts atrophy and get weaker, causing your breasts to sag.

A documented increase in breast cancer rates has been noted between women who do wear bras versus those that do not. Women evolved under conditions where there was BREAST MOVEMENT with every step that they took when they walked or ran. My reading of the scientific literature about lymphatic flow shows me that this may be as important as the constriction factor. Every subtle bounce of the breast while moving, walking, running, etc. gently massages the breast and increases lymphatic flow and thus cleans the breast of toxins and wastes that arise from cellular metabolism.

After trying the famous sticky bra and finding various amounts of success, three LittleThings employees decided to take things one step further and not wear bras for an entire week. Yes, that means they (well, we — I was one of them) went completely braless to the office, to workout classes, and to hang out with friends.

It may surprise you to learn just how many advantages of the bra are a bit exaggerated. While it totally depends on your body type and comfort level, there are tons of situations and occasions where a bra might be totally unnecessary. In fact, there are a ton of benefits to ditching the undergarment entirely!

Bras are quickly losing women’s support

Don’t expect the trend to be fleeting. “If you’re comfortable, go for it,” says Richards. “It’s about time we stopped nipple shaming.”

Women, it’s Time to go Braless. | elephant journal

I’m basically speaking of women who “psychologically” don’t feel comfortable going braless and the sad part is, that they have small to medium breasts, which is in their favor, if they decide to let go of bras.

Why I Never Wear A Bra In Public, And I'm Sorry I'm Not Sorry

Women don’t generally wear bras outside of the bedroom because they want to; they wear them because they feel they have to (if you do enjoy them wearing them, more power to you. You rock that bra).

15 Reasons Why Women Aren't Wearing Bras Anymore

New research is showing that women do not need to wear bras. In fact, there is now evidence showing that not wearing a bra is better for your overall health. A 15-year study in France shows that there is no health benefits to wearing a bra and that our breasts are actually better off without them.

Do Women Need Bras? French Study Says Brassieres Are A ‘False Necessity’

Sara Gates - Huffington Post 

Women who go braless may actually have the right idea, new research suggests.

According to the results of a 15-year study in France published Wednesday, bras provide no benefits to women and may actually be harmful to breasts over time.

“Medically, physiologically, anatomically, the breast does not benefit from being deprived of gravity,” Jean-Denis Rouillon, a professor at the University of Franche-Comté in Besançon, told France Info.

Conducting the study at the university’s hospital, Rouillon measured and examined the breasts of more than 300 women, aged 18 and 35, taking note of how the additional support provided by bras affects the body over time. (It should be noted the study does not mention breast size.)

Overall, he found that women who did not use bras benefited in the long term, developing more muscle tissue to provide natural support. As France’s The Local notes, Rouillon also noticed that nipples gained a higher lift, in relation to the shoulders, on women who went braless. When bras are worn, the restrictive material prevents such tissue from growing, which may actually accelerate sagging, the study concluded.

Capucine Vercellotti, a 28-year-old woman who participated in the research, found that she breathes easier without the constraints of a bra.

“At first, I was a little reluctant to the idea of running without a bra, but I got started and after five minutes, I had no trouble at all,” Vercellotti said, according to the Agence France-Presse.

But don’t throw away your bras just yet, ladies.

Despite the findings, Rouillon said it would be dangerous to advise all women to take off their bras based on the study’s sample, which may not be representative of the population.

Speaking to France Info, Rouillon cautioned women who have worn bras for a long time — several decades — from following the recommendation since they would not benefit from taking off their bras now.

Note from @clit-lit-101: YOU CAN 1000% STOP WEARING YOUR BRA IF YOU WANT! It takes some getting used to but as someone who hasn’t worn a bra in 3 years, I say try it out! There’s def nothing bad about NOT wearing a bra. For the vast majority of women, their only purpose is aesthetic. Your body, your clothing; your decision!

A lot of women have been saying they have trouble with sweating and chaffing without a bra, check out this post for help with those problems

Take It Off: Why Going Braless is Better

Alex Portée & Nicole Barton - Women.com

We all have our own relationship with our lady lumps. Sometimes it’s a positive experience, and sometimes, well, let’s just say things get a little complicated. It’s safe to say that every woman has had a negative experience with a bra, either the insane poking of the underwire, or a bunch of boob slippage. We have all dealt with a boob-load of bra troubles.

That’s why many millennial women are saying “no thanks” to bras in general. More and more women are ditching their bras and opting out for the more “freeing” experience of going “un-cupped”. As it turns out there are some serious benefits to going braless! Here are the reasons why millennials are permanently unhooking their bras and why they’re winning the tits game.

Money Saver

Let’s all just admit it. Bras are hella expensive. Women are constantly negotiating with themselves on what kind of bra to get. Either we spend a good $200 on bras that actually fit well and are more upscale OR we forego that for a cheap bra that will harm us or wear out after a month or so. Then we are back to the store, negotiating all over again. It’s seriously stressful on our pocketbooks in a totally unnecessary way. Arecent study on women’s consumer spending found that women might spend up to 4,000 dollars in their lifetime. In addition to the other numerous things women are already spending on (beauty products, period products, hair products), that’s a hell-of-alot of money. By going braless, you’re helping your pocket book, and freeing up that dough to spend on more important things (like that trip to Cabo you’ve always wanted).

Your Natural Shape Emerges 

Do your tits hang low? Do they wobble to and fro? Boobs can do the funniest things, they’re practically the most multifunctional, attractive bits of your body. They’re also spectacularly varied amongst women. t’s common knowledge that no two boobs are the same. There generally seems to be seven common types of breasts but when women strap on their boob purses all we see is small, medium and large. Slipping on your upper skivvies contorts your breasts and shapes them into a form different from the unique set you naturally rock.

Encourage The Growth Of Healthy Breast Tissue

According to a very revealing French study that was conducted over a course of 15 years, there are zero long-term benefits to wearing a bra every day. AND they may actually be harmful to your breasts. Women that did not use bras over the span of 15 years seemed to come out on top, developing more muscle tissue which helps to create natural support. When bras were worn, the restrictive material prevented women from growing tissue. So when you wear your bra, you might actually be helping those jugs sag faster. Let those puppies loose and they’ll stay perkier than you after 10 cups of your morning coffee.

Going Braless Makes You Stronger

Every girl needs a little spring in their step, a little way to feel just a “bit” more confident with their body. When women go bra-less they embrace a whole new confidence. It’s the same kind of ballsy attitude that comes with going against societal expectations, and embracing what’s comfortable and exciting to them. It’s empowering, to say the least, to let your freak flag fly a little and let the breasts be free. Oh yeah, there’s also the fact that it:

Will Make You Feel Like a Powerhouse

There’s nothing better than getting to be your own boss. Taking charge of your breasts and choosing to wear a bra (or not) on your own will get you pumped at how freeing it is. Getting yourself off of the dependence of the “support” a bra gives you will win you back the freedom you had that comes without having to rely on a bra.

Nipples Are The Best Accessories

Your two favorite gal pals don’t always gotta hang, but know this: when they do they’ll always bring the party. Actually, your nips can totally up the ante on your wardrobe when you let them. Plain T’s, dresses, flannel, blouses totally get an extra 20 points when you break out the perky ladies and allow them to play peekaboo.

The Best Part About Wearing A Bra is Taking it Off

Freedom is unhooking your bra the moment you get home from work and kicking back to relax. The release = instant gratification. Get that feeling all day long by unleashing your boobs into the world of no restraints.

It’ll Be A Boost To Your Self Esteem

Women are incorrectly taught at a young age that they should alter the shape of their breasts in order for them to make a public appearance. The notion creates a mentality that suggests our boobs aren’t completely jazzing without bras, that they should look like someone else’s. Think about how your bra shapes your breasts and you’ll realize your bras are just getting another societal makeover to look like someone else’s boobs. Going braless and getting used to your natural breasts will help you to find a new love for how free they make you feel also, say “hello” to instant Foxy Town.

Bye-Bye Boob Sweat

We’ve all been there: hanging out on a summer day, wearing a super-thick bra that just adds way too many layers to your already hot body. The feeling of sweaty droplets seeping into your clothing is about as comfortable as getting a slow upper lip wax. The only thing worse than that feeling? Your bra creating a nice little line on your blouse that reveals your sweat trail. Oh the joys of bra wear + womanhood! Wouldn’t it be great to just naturally regulate sweat and heat on your body?! Ditching your bras is the best way to start. Those puppies will be thanking you for the nice breeze.

You Realize How Unique Boobs Are

One breast, two breast, round boob, small boob. With all of the shapes, sizes and forms of breasts in the world, Doctor Suess should have written a book on them and all of the places our boobies will go. Unhooking your bra and unleashing your tatas will make you all the more appreciative of the different types and kinds of breasts that surround you. After embracing the liberating feeling, you’ll love yours the most though. Promise.

Avoid the Stress of “Finding the Perfect Bra”

Should I go designer or should I find something simple? Backless, strapless, lacy, pushup. There are legit WAY too many options for bras, and finding the "perfect one” that is also comfortable AND fits well is just way too stressful. Then once you get a bra, you have to figure out which outfits it works well with, or how to make sure your strap isn’t being seen?! Mo’ bras mo’ problems, amiright? Losing the brads allows you to avoid the stressful routine of waking up and having to deal with what bra to wear with what top. Letting the kawangas hang loose allows women to never have to worry about accidentally wearing a racer back with their scoop back tank.
