Do You Wear a Bra in Your House?

If I dont start out with a bra I wont wear one, but if I get dressed and go out I dont feel the need to rip it off when I get home. I personally dont like unexpected guests. So if you drop by my house without calling, there is a good chance Im going to be a hot mess with no bra and a messy house. Ooops, should have called.

not usually, im often in lounge wear, and have only a c cup, but if Im wearing a white tee in the house, yes, i wear my bra, a comfy nursing one, but i look for tops that have some lycra or whatever so they stretch a bit and flatter my breasts without emphasizing them. Out and about shopping or whatever, I think if you have a heavy chest, you should tie the girls up, no one wants to watch them swing around except some old perv! ok everyone should tie them up when their out, its just not right to be have them "hanging or standing tall and perky" imo.

I wear one until I'm putting on my pj's and ready to lay in bed. I cannot stand to have them flopping around. Could be that I'm a dd. I guess if I was a b cup, I would mind it so much.

I never wear a bra at home-but I also rarely wear one away from home, that's what camisoles are for. I can see why a person would feel obligated to wear one professionally, but I honestly don't understand what is 'wrong' with not wearing one at home or even on one's leisure time. Maybe it's the number of 'recovered' hippies in my family, or having spent a few of my developing years in Europe, but I really do not see what the big deal is about NOT wearing a bra...most women the world over have breasts and nipples, it's nothing to be ashamed of, right?

I understand that big busted ladies really do need the support, but that doesn't sound like your issue.

ALWAYS.

But I'm also a 38DDD or 36DDDD, and naturally, so the girls don't stay where they belong without one.

It's just uber uncomfortable to outright painful not be wearing one.

I should add... it took years to find the "right" kind of bra. The kind that I can't feel and keeps the girls corralled. For me that's a non-stretch thin strapped lace underwire demi. And fit to a dream. With the triangle perfect over my sternum, the cups the right size (underwire shouldn't poke... if it's poking it's the wrong size), the band the right taughtness. For my sister she has to do full coverage wide strap stretch satin, my best friend needs a cross in the back stretchy strap jersey type.

No, don't wear one at home.
I hate bras. Who doesn't.
I only wear, at home, a sports "bra" top, under my t-shirts.
I am not huge breasted. So its fine.

I don't have friends drop by unexpectedly... they always call first. And, you tell your son to always call you first, if when older, and his friends wanna come over. Its just courtesy. Not only that you may be bra-less... but maybe your house is not neat at that moment or you have other plans. So, no matter what... even my Husband will call first, if at any time his buddies are coming over.

Comes off as soon as I get home.....if one of my kid's friends come over, I don't put it back on, I put another layer over it...This time of year sweatshirts are wonderful!

depends on how big you are and what type of clothes you wear. are you wearing revealing clothes, snug fitting? or loose? i am super busty so i have to wear a bra-even to bed or i am extremely uncomfortable. there are alot of "sleep bra"s out there that are great for lounging around in at home or even a quick trip to the store. victoria's secret has some cute ones and if you do a google search, i am sure you will find plenty!

It comes off when I walk in the door.

But if you try you can find bras that are more comfortable. I changed from under-wire bras several years ago and wear one that is more like a soft knit that I get from Lane Bryant. It is much more comfortable and smooth, no wires poking out when I lean over.

Well you still have quite a while before your son will be bringing friends home! I wouldn't feel awkward about being braless in front of your son and his friends until they're around 11 y/o or so. I tend to wear bras more as I've gotten older, just for the support and because I don't enjoy seeing my own boobs sagging under my shirt. But oh, the feeling when that contraption comes off!

I often go braless, especially at home. It's family and there is nothing wrong with the natural state of the body. My four children range in age from 4 1/4 to 8 1/2; I have two boys & two girls. I nursed my youngest for not quite 4 years and I rarely wore a bra, even out and about. I will wear a bra though if my top is low cut, or very thin. Also, I will wear a nice soft comfortable one if I need a little extra support which every once in a while I feel the need for. Usually I'll just wear a cami and my top. And often, if the clothing item is bulkier such as a sweater, it's not obvious you're not wearing one. Before my little ones were born, I could sleep in my bra (even if it had underwires!) but now I just don't feel the need.

I put on a bra when I get dressed. I don't like the thought of someone dropping by and me not having a bra on. I am fairly chesty as well. I think if I had a smaller bust size, I probably wouldn't wear one. I have a Hanes bra that I love love love love. It's just a Hanes Her Way that has lightly padded cups.
The best advice I can give, is to go get fitted. There are several department stores that do it, as well as Victoria's Secret. That will tell you what the proper size is for you. That should got a LONG way in helping. Also, try on a bra before you buy it. Make sure that it's going to work for you. Jump up and down, jog in place, bend over, etc to make sure the girls are going to stay put.

well, are you braless or topless?!
Sometimes I have one on, sometimes I don't! I am a DDD and soon to be nursing mom, so I have a feeling that these bad girls are gonna be constricted for the next year or so...but I absolutely take mine off when I get home! IF I do feel the need to wear one at home I usually will wear one that is cotton, no wire.

I always wore a bra if I knew someone else might be coming over or if someone did come over I'd be off to put the contraption back on. In front of just my sons, even grown up, I dont feel uncomfy without one.

The minute I get home I also take off my bra. My kids boys are 15 and 10 and first of all why would they care and if you have been doing this the whole time they don't know anybetter. I where my clothes big and is a DDD

Whenever I'm dressed,I always wear a bra and it's my 2 girls and hubby. As far as going braless, I think it depends on your size and what type of clothing you're wearing. If you're wearing a baggy sweatshirt, no problem. If you're in a lightweight t-shirt, you need to cover up.

My one daughter would die if I walked around without a bra around the house and I am a size B. Sometimes I take off the bra and wear a cami under my shirt. As soon as it is just my husband and I the bra will be off at home. Maybe everything will be off ..LOL

i go braless and my boys dont notice or if they notice dont mention it. if his friends drop by put on a sweat shirt it hides it. or cover up with a blanket. until they are about 12 they wont notice anyway. if you find a comfortable bra that doesnt ride let me know. ps unless you have really big nipples it may not be too obvious anyway.

I do wear my bra all the time and sometimes even sleep in it.

I am a natural perky 34DD and plan to stay that way.

I've never had bras that were uncomfortable. I love Wacoal and I get them at Neimans.

Maybe you should have a bra sizing and find something comfy if you are looking to stay in a bra longer. The feeling of no bra is good sometimes too!!

All that said, I have nothing against someone braless or topless and in the right situation, beach, etc, I'm right there with you.

Never wear one if I can help it!! I take it off the minute I get home!

I am just like you :) My bra is usually on the steps to go upstairs. When the door knocks i have to rush and get it on...lol! I have had the kids walk in with friends and had to run! Not wearing one as we speak :) Maybe we need to find more comfortable bras? For now i rip it off as soon as it annoys me...

i always wear one, even to bed, or I wake up with sore boobies. but i dont see any problem with not wearing one around your house, unless you have company.

I always wear a bra at home, I'm used to it. I love the maternity ones I have, got them at Motherhood when I was breastfeeding my daughter and now that I am pregnant again I still use them. They are 100% cotton and very soft. I even sleep with my bra on.

any opportunity i can take mine off I do, however my house is FULL, we live with Gma, Gpa, BIL (his kids everyother weekend), hunny and our kid, plus two dogs! So, it pretty much only comes off when it is bed time and if I can sneak an hour or so early in the morning. I do wear a sports bra when I can, I love the Danceskin avail at walmart. there are many sports bras that have good support and I know many who are top heavy that just wear two!

I always war a bra. I'm your opposite, I guess: I hate the feeling of NOT having one on. I even like a sleep bra at night. I'm 47 and and the girls are still pretty perky!
