SPECIAL REPORT: Eileen Nauman runs a breast-health blog and she asked for volunteers to offer their own, unique stories about going bra-free. I’ve done just fine without a bra for well over two years. Before I went braless, I was considering breast reduction, because the pain in my back and shoulders was unbearable. These days I have no problem going out in just a T-shirt. On a happy note bra-free life is still great. The nursing has made them perkier and stronger too. They offered a bra but didn’t fuss when I refused politely.
Have you ever wondered why you wear a bra? Moreover, did you ever question it? I have always questioned everything in my life. My friends began to tell me that not wearing a bra was certainly not a good idea because now my breasts were going to sag earlier in life! And, as far as clothing is concerned, I simply continued wearing the same clothes that I wore before. I just refused to let my life be ruled by what society had imposed on me as a woman.
I could not care less if they protrude! I think that it is time for women to be themselves from all points of view, and to let go of all those societal taboos that seem to constrict us from being who we are: Women! One concern of many women regarding the health of their breasts is their movement, and the possibility that they will inevitably sag if a bra is not worn. People tend to think that the bra actually helps prevent their breasts from sagging by minimizing their movement. However, this could not be farther from the truth. I have very avidly tried to convince other women to not wear a bra. The results and consequences of living bra-free are wonderful, and extremely liberating. Finally, while it is true that being small breasted has made things much easier for me to be bra-free, all women, whether large breasted or small, can manage to be braless in a subtle and effective manner.
Be brave, and venture into a new and healthier way of living for your breasts. It is clear that my 51-year old breasts have certainly not suffered from my not wearing a bra for the last thirty-three years. This image was taken in late 2010. I believe that their lifted stature is a direct result of my Ligaments of Cooper actively supporting my breasts while I ran and did my powerlifting. I share this information with everyone that I can relay this message to, and hope that one day we will all go back to what should once more come natural to us–the freedom of our breasts! Treat this one as a BLOG Skye welcomes your comments and questions. I am in my forties, married, with two children. To physically describe me, I am a tall woman and I like to describe my weight as being “sturdy”.
I’m actually between 175 and 180 lbs. I’m not really shy about my weight as you can see. Several factors encouraged me to go bra-less. I watched a very beloved family member pass away from a nearly fifteen-year fight with breast cancer. Quite frankly she was one of the bravest women that I have ever met. Because of the breast cancer issues, my husband has encouraged me to stop wearing bras.
I also chose to go bra-less because I could never find a bra that would fit and that I could afford. Being a big woman, most bras would cut into my chest and shoulders. I have also had bras where one breast would fit and the other one wouldn’t . I bought a silicone insert to “balance” myself out. I also felt very constricted while wearing a bra. I felt like I had iron bands wrapped around my chest restricting my breathing. I live in the Southwest and the heat here at times can be unbearable.
I hate to sweat into bras. I have tried going bra-less before and found that I have been more comfortable without them. I am also a little rebellious in nature. I try not to fall into the marketing traps. Companies tell you “If you buy my product, you will be more attractive. I tell myself that I know better, but I sometimes cave in to it anyway, and usually I’m disappointed. This attitude applies to wearing bras, and I feel I don’t need a bra or a certain brand of bra to make me feel more attractive. I have chosen to talk about this issue for several reasons.
I would like to encourage women who want to go bra-less to make the intelligent decision to do so. I don’t want it to appear that I’m pushing women to go without a bra, because I don’t feel that it is right to push my beliefs on someone else. These are MY reasons why I have decided to go bra-less. I hope to hear back from other readers concerning this topic. I hope to not only learn from this bra-less experience but from others who write in as well. I wish everyone a wonderful day. Thanks for your insightful comments on the subject of going braless and your willingness to share. I turned 31 on December 30th and until last September I had always worn a bra.
I just thought that was what we did. I thought that breasts stuffed into those tortuous contraptions was just the picture of boob health and was just us doing our reps. How could a person’s arm get stronger if always in a cast? How could a paralyzed person experience anything but atrophy? Then my husband and I began reading about how bras restrict lymphatic circulation, cause us to retain toxins, and greatly increase the odds of getting breast cancer. It was just logical and made sense. It also scared my husband to death because like you, I had an aunt who died from it.
We talked about and agreed that intelligent people change their course of action when new facts disprove their previous notions. We talked about how the evidence did not show that bras kept the breasts from sagging. Billy wanted me to start going totally bra free. I knew it was for the best. But I fell back on the safety of the known and lobbied for a reduction in bra-wearing. Bill was not crazy about half-ass measures. We have this way of making decisions or submitting new ideas. One of us will say new rule and suggests their idea.
If it’s agreed on, it’s binding and can only be changed if we both agree. Billy submitted a new rule that both for the health benefits and for his pleasure in enjoying giggling boobs that I would be “forbidden” to wear a bra. I could have said no or countered, but I agreed unconditionally. I am not quite as big as you, but am a 36-C. I worried that my breasts would sag from the lack of support. My boobs have remained high, firm, and upturned, which makes me question the bra’s function of providing support. I now look at September 6th as the day my husband liberated my boobs from the bra and I have asked that he never let them be taken prisoner again!

The bra-free thing has done MUCH more for me than just the physical benefits, but I will try to remember them all here to share with you. Those photos will REALLY blow people’s minds! The bra free thing has done MUCH more for me than just the physical benefits Not only have my breasts lifted and don’t hang in my armpits anymore when lying on my back, I have lost my stretch marks, as well as the cysts and a clearly hard and firm lump I had in my left breast before I removed my bra. No more menstrual pain at all, no breast tenderness, and no more back pain which is something I suffered with ever since I can remember! Go figureit’s hard to think clearly and get centered when you can’t breath! I felt so constricted my whole life and had no idea that it was due to the bra! I was also pretty uptight and easier to ‘program’ and ‘buy into’ the self-hate that seems to be promoted!
If I help one person I will feel forever blessed. I liked having my breasts free. I remember, as a 9 year old with budding breasts, sneaking into my bedroom to remove the undershirt my mother insisted I wear. Looking back, I think she was concerned about my larger nipples showing through my dresses. As an adolescent and throughout high school, I was hyper aware if my large nipples would stick out through my bra. I was mortified to have anyone look at them. I would hold my school books over them when in the hallway, or wear super heavy clothing to hide them. I was diagnosed at age 13 with ovarian cancer.
With the front and back hems worked flat separately in seeded rib, now I love them even more. It will be a vest, learn how to block your garments. The good fabrics are silk, because the pain in my back and shoulders was unbearable. Wear something warm, i also want you to grow as a person and have that same sense of fulfillment that I received when I made my first vest. I am 26; i was initially afraid of being without a bra when I’m with family. I’m very suspicious of radiation from the mammograms too – contains Parliamentary information licensed under the Open Parliament Licence v3. It is not easy to make the decision to go braless when you have worn a bra for sixty years and you are concerned about what everyone will think, waistcoats were styled with new and patterned fabrics but just on the front.
They only found it because I had a cyst the size of a football on my left ovary. Gyn took the ovary and a large margin “just in case”, and that is what saved me. I have been cancer free to this day. I gave birth to 4 beautiful children and went into menopause in my mid-forties. I was widowed at 24 while I was 7 months pregnant with my third child. My new husband wanted me to have a breast augmentation surgery, and I agreed because I felt inadequate for his taste being so flat-chested. The implants were silicone, a C-cup size, and became hard very quickly. Fast forward 13 years I was divorced with four teenagers at home.

I went for my first mammogram at age 38 only to find the silicone implants had ruptured. I had them removed and replaced them with saline implants which I still have. Unfortunately the surgeon did not remove all the free floating silicone in my body. Throughout my adult life, I have been plagued with fibroid breast cysts. The results of my mammograms for years required a follow up ultrasound, luckily showing nothing of a worrisome nature, but I continued to have the breast cysts. Still it’s scary and stressful – waiting close to a month from the time of the mammogram to the final results othe ultrasound. As my menopausal weight gain came along, my breasts grew, and with that came more and more cysts.

Nothing to cause concern, but still that scary waiting period after each annual mammogram. With each treatment my breasts would enlarge to the point that I now have a 36DD bra size. Then I’d feel self-conscious about myself so I’d strap myself back in for the sake of convention. So I bit the bullet and shed my bra. It was a very scary lifestyle transition for me. What will the general public think?
Because it’s not just taking off a piece of clothing, it’s making a complete change in your lifestyle. Your wardrobe needs adjusting, you have to figure out how not to be self-conscious around others, and you need to embrace the liberation. And on top of all that, you have to accept the natural shape of your breasts and how your body looks. I’m still a DD-cup, I bounce a lot, and yes, my nipples still peek out a bazillion times a day, but I even go to the gym sans bra – no sports bra or tank top. If you are on the fence, maybe some of what I am about to share will help you to remove your breast shackles and empower yourself to be the beautiful, healthy, natural woman you were born to be! Did this lifestyle change make my breasts healthier?
We talked about and agreed that intelligent people change their course of action when new facts disprove their previous notions. I watched a very beloved family member pass away from a nearly fifteen, my grandfather always wore his vest buttoned up. Oddly I feel less out of place now that I don’t wear a bra – i liked having my breasts free. One of my friends that moved away does go bra, but still that scary waiting period after each annual mammogram. I enjoy not being bound in a restricted and tight bra, free for their shape.
My annual mammograms no longer require follow up ultrasounds. I no longer am getting the fibroid cysts in my breasts, and the ones I still have are getting smaller. I have to have them removed I am just living with them. They don’t hurt, and they’re not causing any problems at this point. Did I feel weird and strange going braless in the beginning? Once you embrace it, however, you will feel so empowered and womanly! It will make you a stronger person in every way, because it’s unconventional, and it takes a lot of guts to do unconventional things. Breast sagging is reduced as you let your body do what it’s supposed to do naturally. The photo below is recent – and for a pair of DD’s they’re looking pretty good – especially considering I am a 55-year old grandmother of 8!
They weren’t as perky in the beginning after I eliminated the bra, but I learned to love them when first bra-free for their shape. Now I love them even more. I have had to make adjustments to the style of tops I wear. You just have to go to the stores and be brave and try on clothes until you find what fits you best. Winter is easier as you can layer sweaters, scarves and jackets over your ‘girls’ and nobody’s the wiser. Summers here in AZ are very hot and are more of a challenge. Just think – you get a new wardrobe to go with your new lifestyle. I don’t wear cammies or a bra replacement. Nothing is going to restrict my breasts. I want to feel every sensation – the wind, the brush of the fabric, everything.
Some will prefer cammies, an extra shirt, etc. A lot of women find going bra-less makes their breasts hurt. Most of what I experienced, and what I have read about other women’s experiences, after making this lifestyle change, the pain you initially feel will be gone within a few weeks. Just take it easy with the jumping and exercise in the beginning, and you’ll become so comfy you will wonder why you didn’t remove the bra from your life years ago! I feared the ‘taboos’ of being bra-less. Like I said earlier, going bra-less is unconventional. I was initially afraid of being without a bra when I’m with family. Finally I had the guts to just do it. My daughters noticed, but my mother never has.
I explained to them why I wasn’t wearing a bra, and they accepted it. My older daughter has also adopted a bra-free lifestyle as well. She knows its the healthier choice. Just try not to think about what the moral majority might think or say. If your workplace dress code specifically requires you wear a bra, then try something with super light support, or just wear a camisole under your blouse. If your job doesn’t have a dress code that requires a bra, just be conservative and confident. I sometimes get admiring glances from people when I am out shopping or out to dinner with friends in public on weekends.
I’m getting a lot braver when it comes to my wardrobe. I’m not as concerned if my breasts bounce in an obvious way or if my nipples are ‘out there’. After all, it is that bouncing that circulates the lymphatic fluids and flushes toxins from my breasts. But at work I’m more careful. When I first removed my bra, I viewed my ‘new’ body as an older body – boobs sagging lower than they did with the bra – and I thought it made me look old. However, over time, as my breasts have become rounder and have lifted a little bit, I find that I look slimmer.
