Ten Reasons To Go Braless

 

        In recent years it has become more and more common to see women of all types ditching the boob jails (aka bras) in favour of the comfortable hug of a soft t-shirt on their curves. Movements like #freethenipple (aimed at promoting body equality) have gained traction and attention for supporting a woman's right not to have her body sexualized simply because she is a "she". That being said, some are still unsure about letting go of the underwear.

1. The best thing about those days when you have absolutely nowhere to go is not having to put on a bra.

2. And when you DO have to put on a bra, it's like sending one of the best parts of your body to jail. Lockin em up!

3. There are times when you need the support of a bra. For example,

unexpected running.

4. ...or unexpected dancing.

5. But mostly they just confuse everyone and get in the way.

Strapless bras may as well be called belts. You should just accept that now.

6. Your boobs are actually made to stand on their own... so to speak.

            A recent study suggests that women who go braless more often end up with less sagging later on, possibly due to the fact that your boobs have built-in support designed to combat sagging due to age. When you let a bra do all the work, these supporting ligaments have nothing to do and as a result become less effective.

7. 3 Words: Sweaty Bra Line

And rashes. No thank you.

8. It's all about the confidence, guys.

A long-time member of the Itty Bitty Titty Committee who has befriended many a well-endowed lady, I've heard it both ways. "My boobs are too small, so push up bras are the only way to get cleavage. Otherwise I look like a 12 year old boy." "My boobs are too big and they saggy already, I'm only 23! I have to wear a bra to get the right shape." And so on. We can always find a way to pick on ourselves. But unless you honestly like wearing a bra, ditch it! Your tits are great, just as they are.

9. That uncomfortable piece of wire and fabric isn't what makes your boobs fantastic. They are already fantastic.

10. The idea that women's breasts and nipples are obscene is out-dated and ridiculous.

Women have boobs. If you're afraid of them, that's your deal. If you're turned on by them, that's your deal too. It's not our cross to bear that you view women as sexual objects, and can't handle seeing the outline of a boob in the grocery checkout line. I mean, not to get too political here but you've gotta admit this is pretty fucked up.

The only difference is whether you are a man or a woman.

So, what do you say? I think we can all agree that bras suck anyway.  Right? Plus, if you aren't sure what to do with all your old bras, they make great dog toys. Apparently, but probably not. Don't give your bras to your dog.
