Going Braless!!!
This is a topic brought up in one of our other discussions...
Don't you think this "bares" closer consideration?
It's a topic close to our heart! Something I think we can all warm up to...
So, lets take a closer look... at the bra!!! What we want to know is...
Back in the '70s, did you go without one? WHY or why not? How'd that work for you?
Do you still? Do you WISH you didn't have to wear one?
Tell the truth! Cross Your Heart?

lol, I'm innocent! I merely replied to a post! Bras? What's that? I was a little younger at the bra-burning time, but I remember wearing them and just hating that confined feeling. Fortunately I was blessed with being under-endowed, so once I joined the braless community, I never looked back! (Ok, for special occassions, for discretion when a dress might be a bit flimsy, I did concede) Now, at almost 58, who cares! Honestly, I'd rather be free than have, ah, more, and then NEED to wear one of those horrible torture double chambers! My motto: Long let 'em wave!

Not wanting to appear uncool during my senior year in high school ('71/'72), I'd occasionally go braless to classes and while partying with friends. Being young and of average build, the girls really didn't require any support. I would, however, wear a bra at work and when my dad was home.
My braless phase was many years, many pounds, and many bras ago. I guess it was kind of sexy to go without a bra in the 1970s, but many of today's bras are designed to enhance a woman's appeal during special moments.
In addition to growing older and wiser, many of us have also grown in other ways. A good undergarment helps keep things from wobbling to and fro. Plus being the mom of 2 sons (31 & 22), it just doesn't feel right for me to be acting like a nature girl around the house during the day.
If my top half was small today, I would dress somewhat discreetly and be happy to go braless. The extra money could be used to put gas in the family car.

My friend called me yesterday to tell me that her 30-something married daughter recently had a breast reduction. She was a D-cup and had nursed 2 babies. Personally, I don't think a D-cup is huge; but apparently her daughter was having back problems.
My friend told me that the surgeon's wife had the same procedure, and now she doesn't need to wear a bra. The way my friend was talking, her daughter's intention is to not wear a bra after she's all healed.
I'm not so sure about the concept of going braless forever. It seems to me that no matter how perky the girls are after surgery, gravity and aging skin would still have some effect over the years. Plus, I'd personally be kind of self-conscious about walking around with my headlights on at all times---especially in air-conditioned buildings.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know the guys would love it; but is that the kind of attention women really desire all the time? And how would headlights be perceived in a professional business office during working hours? Maybe I've gotten too modest in my middle age?
I don't really want any answers. I'm just thinking out loud =)

How does that song go?
"All I want for Christmas is my TWO FRONT TEETh"
Sure seems appropriate for me today!

Oy! As a breast cancer survivor, I've gone through many bra vs. bra-less stages. During radiation treatments, I couldn't wait to get the damn thing off and throw it away. My "boobs" were burning and I was in horrific pain. The bra only made it worse. Then, I had to undergo major lung surgery (the cancer spread to the lungs) and thus, I couldn't wear a bra and still breath. I could barely breath as it was, and the bra made things (again) worse. Anyway, now I'm in that "I may or may not be wearing" a bra stage. When I go out in public, I'll usually put something on. I finally found an expensive bra that seems to work for me. (I had a lumpectomy, so I am very uneven.) However, in my own home, it is definitely the bra-less look for me. Both for my own comfort and just well, I can breath so much easier. Of course, the "old boobs" are down to the ground and beyond. But, hell! I'm breathing!!!

My mom had a lumpectomy, and it's surprising what a big "lump" they take out. It's more like a chunkectomy. Now she's lopsided too, but she seems fine with it considering what others have to endure. She makes a minor adjustment when she's going out someplace special and wants to look more symmetrical =)

OMG! So, I'm doing the dishes last friday night and my daughter (she just turned 17) tells me she's going out with her friends and I look up and she's... Well, lets just say the girls were swinging free. The guns were out of the holster. She was wearing a sweater top but NOOOOOOOO!!! She looked ridiculous! That CAN'T be the way WE looked, could it? I was caught by surprise and well, I know I didn't handle it right, but what would YOU have done? What do you say? HELP A Mom, won't you???? I need some advice!!!

This is a very warm topic......it keeps my knees warm.....my belly warm...and if I
want to see "the girls" all I gotta do is lift my skirt a little...what ain't hangin' is draggin....
Now....about that 17 year old.....tell her unless she wants boobies longer than
her legs to get a bra on.....even a sports bra....cause going bra less when you
are young breaks down the tissue....I'm an expert on this one....cause I can
take my bra off and put it on my car.....any thing that big needs to have a heart
and lung all it's own.....
MY! My! MY!.....besides the boys don't need to watch the bounce....and
first base needs a cover......some poor teen aged boy could lose an eye that
way......
