i hate bras, and only recently bought one. i've gone through years of not wearing one. recently have got a couple strapless to wear with some party dresses to amp up the cleavage but... i love my tits running free. i have perma THO because my nips were pierced, so they're always hard.

i've had really fashionable friends tell me they were envious of my hard nipples. so.

do what you like!

Alice. I never knew that if you have your nips pierced they will stay hard. You know I actually never paid attention to it really. I have seen many of nipples pierced lol. I don't like how my nips poof up I might have to take that step and get them pierced I am scared as heck though. Anything you can recommend?

I hear ya. It is that live viewing I seen where a grandmother was showing a girlfriend of mine what happens when a bra is never worn. Flopped it right over her shoulder.

On the other hand, my mom at 75 has the same looking chest she always had.

I agree, be comfy.

AMEN. They are just BOOBS. It's crazy how many people go Carrie's mom (I CAN SEE YOUR DIRTY PILLOWS ) on this issue (in Mississippi anyway). I also hate the idea that large breasts are somehow more "obscene" than small breasts, as if smaller-breasted women are somehow inherently more pure or something than large-breasted women because they don't have JUGS.

I hate how prudish the US is and how this country's priorities are out of whack. OMG that woman isn't wearing a bra! Don't look, Tommy! (Meanwhile Tommy is eating fast food and watching 6 hours of TV a day and shooting the holy hell out every living thing in some video game, but that flies just fine.)

But, but......plenty of women with (large) perky breasts could "fail" this test.

Huh. I passed.

I have my nipples pierced and they aren't always hard. They act just like they did before I got them done.

If you are out in public you should wear a bra, especially if it is OBVIOUS that you aren't wearing one.

You could hurt a lot of younger girls out with their boyfriends that don't have high self-esteem if you go out half-dressed. Plus I feel that it is innapropriate not to, save it for the bedroom... a man doesn't want to see his woman showing off to every guy that walks by.

You can practically walk outside naked and not be breaking "public indecency" laws.

And that books sounds a little odd to me ?

I think it depends on a lot of things. First of all, I can see how very large chested women may cause more damage than good by keeping them constantly in a bra. Seems like it would shift all the weight in one area causing strain?

Anyways, I have one breat nearly a C cup and one's only an A! Even the small breast shows through shirts like a pointy lump. I personally feel inappropriate going out without a bra on if I'm wearing a t-shirt or anything low cut. If I'm wearing a top or dress that either hides the shape/nipples or squishes them enough to conceal the shape of them, I won't wear a bra. In fact, I didn't wear one yesterday. I wore a dress that held them in well.

If they're all over the place and really showing through a shirt or clothing is revealing already, I feel personally, that it would be best to be conservative. Not necessarily by wearing an uncomfortable bra, but maybe pasties, nad aids, or something comfortable that will help cover. I don't like wearing my low cut silky pajama cami around the kids because you can practically see my boobs right through it. I wear a sports-type of bra underneath until they're in bed. Or I'll wear a baggy t-shirt and no bra.

I don't think it's a huge deal, but there's usually something comfortable most can do to keep from really exposing so much of yourself. Wearing a loose t-shirt and no bra is no big deal. If you're home, I wouldn't worry about it at all. My partner thinks it's sexy too, when I get chilly and you can see them through my top. I would NOT want other people being able to see me like that in public though, but that's because I don't like to expose my body to others. Otherwise, I don't mind.

I never sleep in a bra and never will. There's always a way around it. Lol

Agreed on the kid part! I would expect some respect in that dept. I have to admit.

Not all kids. Mine certainly won't be doing ANY of those things.

Yep! You can actually get sued for walking around topless in most of the US, but in some cities it's legal. New York and Canada both had some controversy surrounding the issue a few years ago, I think.

And yes, it was!
