-"Top Chef's Padma Lakshmi made fun of criticism she received after filming a cooking session braless.

-Lakshmi:"I got some comments last time that it was immoral for me not wear a bra in my own kitchen. so those people should be happy to note that I'm wearing two today. But seriously, let's not police woman

I have B's. They're shaped all funny thanks to PCOS. Couldn't breastfeed either.

I'm braless all the time at home and 75% of the time public. I wish pasties/gel bras worked better, but my conical tits won't let them stay stuck on.

I'm ok with a strapless bra just for some shape~ in certain clothing. People who sleep in bras confuse me.

I hate bras.

"People who sleep in bras confuse me."

I do. I didn't until I was an older teen. I don't have gigantic boobs, but they are somewhat large. I had been wearing a bra all other times because I liked them secure and not flopping everywhere. I felt more comfortable still wearing it than not so I just started wearing them to bed as well.

True. Mine disappear when I’m laying down, so the need for support definitely isn’t there. I can see now how it might be more comfortable for others to sleep in them though!

I have FFs and I sleep in a bra, but it's basically just a crop (no wire). If I don't wear a bra for a long time I get really bad pain.

[peroxidelace]

That’s true. I never thought about pain in those with actual boobs since mine are nonexistent. I get now how the hanging and moving could be uncomfortable though.

weird pcos boobs fistbump <3 mine are like completely nonrelated to each other. the boobs of two different people.

A few other people here who have said they have them really make me feel better about mine! Mine are only a tiny bit different from each other. It’s more of they are just cone shaped with volume in the bottom.

I sleep in a sports/ lounge bra. I wear a bra 99.9% of the time. It's different when you have large breasts- I find it very uncomfortable not to wear one. (I am a 36DDD).

Agree. Had about the same size and got a breast reduction to a C cup. Recovering from surgery they make your wear bras all the time to shape the new boobs. I just got so used to so I wear bras all the time now. Don't want to risk my boobs getting out of hand. Bras are like my support system now.

[shameless_re]

I've always wanted a reduction. Are you happy with your decision?

[mystiqua]

Best surgery decision I ever made. So afraid of having my boobs return to pre-surgery state that's why I keep the bra on. keep them puppies locked up.

I really want to get a reduction to but I'm always told to do it after pregnancy. Like I'm single and 29 yrs old, idk when that's gonna happen.

You should probably wait until your 30's. If by then, you're not married or in a serious relationship then, do it for yourself. It also boosts your self confidence in you which helps in the dating world. I did it in my 30's.

i wore a bra 24/7 (including to bed) until after i was over 30 because i was really sensitive nipples and it truly bothered me not to wear one. thankfully that's changed and i am now always braless unless i have to leave the house (and sometimes even then if i just throw on a hoodie).

[peroxidelace]

Nipple sensitivity is no joke. Sorry you endured it so long!

[spellgabbana]

it can be such a pain!
