Why do so many complain about wearing a bra? Simple answer is because we can!
All joking aside I have seen claims up to 80% of women are wearing the wrong size or style of bra. Not sure it is that high a figure but I can attest a day in a poorly fitting bra or certain styles is pure hell to be polite. Unlike breastforms which are cast in a specific shape or weight every woman's breasts are different and just because one is a 36B or whatever size means all bras are going to fit the same or be comfortable. Most women even have some variation in the size of one breast to the other one. I have heard of cases where it can be several cup size difference but not sure how prevalent that is. Still many may have a cup size difference, B to a C or something like that, and that can cause issues. Not that my breasts are that dramatically different I will tell you the left girl is larger than the right one.
As a TG woman not that I have experienced it but I have read many women may experience up to a cup size swelling due to fluctuations in their hormone levels and their cycle. Now add to that as gravity takes over even though your bra size doesn't change the bra style that worked for you even a few years ago may not be the best one today.
Now let us assume you have been fitted for a bra and are wearing the correct size and style. There are days when you are more active or moving more than usual or maybe you have put on a pound and some of that has gone to your breasts or it is just one of those miserably hot, humid days the Midwest experiences every summer. Remember you were up at 5:30 AM to get ready for work and a bra is one of the first things most women put on when getting dressed. It has been a long day at the office, traffic was bad on your evening commute, and you needed to stop at the store for some incidentals on the way home. It is now well after 7 when you walk in the door and the underwire in your bra has been chafing at you since well before lunch as well your bra is soaked with sweat.
I cannot even begin to explain what a liberating experience it is to unhook your bra and let the girls breath!
Now you may put on a fresh, clean soft cup bra or a bralette however on days like that assuming I have no intentions of going anywhere this girl just pulls on the t-shirt and lets the headlights shine!
I can fully appreciate how many of you girls see a bra as a badge of femininity, was there many years ago myself. What many of you may forget is there is a tremendous difference in having yourself in that bra not silicone breastforms. It is drummed into us a lady always wears a bra and for the largest part this one does. I do admit to sometimes just a camisole style top under a blouse or sweater however that cami top needs to have some support for the girls or I will be wearing a bra. I will say here it is easy to criticize or think "I never would" however until you have walked a mile in someone else's shoes you may not always fully understand their side.
Yes I do shed it at home in the warmer weather, especially if it is sweat soaked but when going out I put a fresh bra on.
