Why do some women hate wearing a bra? I love them!

[RainbowDash]

So I was just wondering.... Why are there some women who do not like wearing bras? Some even who cannot wait to literally rip it right off their breasts when they get home. I myself love wearing bras, and they are my most favorite article of women's clothing to wear. Nothing makes me look and feel like a woman more than when I slip on a bra and strap my girls in. And the way it wraps around my body giving me a gentle hug feels good, and the smooth soft silky material feels good to wear. Whenever it comes time to go out somewhere and I have to take the bra off, I get a little depressed.
To me it seems like there are quite a few women who do not like wearing bras or even hate them, saying they are uncomfortable. They do not feel the slightest bit uncomfortable to me, not one bit. Is this because I am a man and am simply wearing breast forms underneath? Would it feel different if I were a woman and had real breasts? Of course, I know that quite a few ladies out there are not wearing the correct size, and that some of them like to wear push-up bras, which can dig in to the skin in order to push up on the breasts to make them sit higher.
Does this mean I think that bras are going to go out of style? No, I believe with all my might that they will not. No matter how many women say they hate wearing bras, some still wear them. And I believe that there is a very big market for bras too. Look how many women are willing to go into Victoria's Secret and spend $50 or more on a bra. I certainly hope they do not stop making them, I love bras so much!

[sometimes_miss]

Women hate them because they are usually tight and feel that they dig into the skin of their tender skin, especially their breasts. We love them because they give us 'girl tactile sensory signals' which helps quash the gender identity dysphoria that makes us feel like we're wearing the wrong clothes when we're wearing 'man clothes' (whether it's something you're aware of, or subconsciously).

[JuliannaS]

I absolutely love wearing them.

[Heather76]

In talking with my wife about my crossdressing, one of her comments was to question how I could enjoy wearing a bra and stockings when most women she knows hates wearing them and can't wait to get home from work to get them off. I will say, I believe more women wear pantyhose than wear thigh highs and garters. I'm not a fan of pantyhose either as they always seem to be just too tight on my waist and hips. But thigh highs and garter belts or suspender stockings are absolutely wonderful to me. And bras? There isn't anything better.

[ziggie]

I think some of it is just the female equivalent of men who dislike tighty whities. It's something that society says you have to wear so it is nice when you don't have to.

[Wendy-Lyn]

I'm at the point where I don't feel properly dressed without one.
I wear one all the time, and whenever I can I slip my forms in. I even sleep in a bra and forms.

[MonicaPVD]

To most women, a bra is a highly restrictive undergarment. To you, it's a fetish item. I'm not going to lie. I absolutely love wearing restrictive undergarments, from bras to girdles to corsets. But let's be honest, there's nothing comfortable about them. Absolutely nothing.

[Karren H]

My wife feels that bras were designed by men for women to wear and society expects (forces) them to wear them.

[NancySue]

My wife, too, hates wearing a bra, especially an underwire bra. Says they?re hot and uncomfortable. Same with hose. When she would come home from work, they were the first things to come off. She rarely wears high heels. For her, it?s all about comfort. While she?s totally supportive of my dressing, she doesn?t understand how I can be comfortable wearing a bra, heels and hose. I just smile. I love wearing a bra and hose. In the early days, she used to tease me about how I couldn?t wait to put on, what she couldn?t wait to take off. I have two sets of bras, all underwires, both a cups, which I fill quite nicely, and b cups, which I almost fill without forms. One of my fun decisions each morning is which bra to wear. Panties 24/7. I prefer thigh high hose.

[Stephanie47]

You should have posted the question in the "Ask a GG a Question" section. In the summer my wife is quick to shed her bra and never wears hosiery. A woman actually has a mound of flesh that is trapped in a piece of fabric which generates heat, discomfort and sometimes rashes.

[Aka_Donna]

Other than the obvious of clothing being uncomfortable for vanity, perhaps there's another reason.

Why do so many cross dress? to escape normal adult life and if present as another gender it's more of an escape. So perhaps they drop bra's to escape back to teen years without adult roles. Just suggesting it may be a factor.

[GaleWarning]

I remember reading a post from a GG saying she spent hours at a time in shoe shops, looking for the one pair of heels which fit perfectly, and were sublimely comfortable.
I suspect the same goes for bras.
I am fortunate to have found a couple of bras which fit perfectly. When wearing either of them, I tend to forget that I have it on.

[MarinaSweden]

I have to say, womens clothes are such work of art. Everything i so beautifully designed. Which goes for dresses, blouses, and skrits too of course, but maybe more than any other item, a bra. I love to put on basically everything with a feminin touch but obviously a bra is the most feminine thing to put on. And I totally agree to what you say about "the way it wraps around my body..." the feeling is wonderful.

I was just saying to my wife the other night, You take your bra off direclty when you come home from work, while I hardly can wait to put mine on.

[julia.bowie]

Qu: Why do some women hate wearing a bra?
An: Because they wear them 16 hours a day, 365 days a year.

[SaraLin]

I'm afraid I'm something of an outlier on this one. I tend to agree with the GG's.

If I didn't need a bra to achieve the desired shape in my outfits, I wouldn't wear one either. They're hot. The straps can slip at the most inopportune moments. They can pinch or bind. They get itchy (I have sensitive skin). The outline can show through your top (mostly a problem for non-GG's). And honestly - I don't *need* the support in day-to-day life. Let's not even think about a strap letting go in the middle of the day!

BUT - If I want to have any hope of achieving anything resembling a feminine shape, I need them. So - I will definitely wear one if I ever go out. Just not around the house.

This works out good, since my wearing a bra is definitely one of the things on the "no way" list with my wife.
Since (for me) they aren't that big a deal, I can live with that.

[Elizabeth G]

Yup, exactly what Julia said.

My wife once asked me how I could stand wearing one as they're so uncomfortable. I just explained that I don't have to wear one as much as she does and that it provides a different kind of comfort for me.

[docrobbysherry]

Women hate them because they are usually tight and feel that they dig into the skin of their tender skin, especially their breasts. We love them because they give us 'girl tactile sensory signals' which helps quash the gender identity dysphoria that makes us feel like we're wearing the wrong clothes when we're wearing 'man clothes' (whether it's something you're aware of, or subconsciously).

Yes! I agree, Lexi! For awhile I underdressed. No one knew I was wearing that tite bra but me. But, after a few days of that "gentle hug" turning into into raging fires under my arms and in my ribs? I couldn't wait to get the dam thing off after work!:doh:

To this day I much prefer my often, quite warm, silicone prosthesis to tite, binding bras when I go out!:thumbsdn:

[GretchenM]

Long ago it was thought men liked wearing panty hose, girdles, bras, etc. because they were tight and stimulated them sexually. That could be true for newbies but after awhile that effect becomes less significant. I was very much that way, but then outgrew it. I have to admit I do like the tightness, but it does not induce sexual feelings and hasn't for decades. I pretty much agree with Lexi and Julia. Women wear those garments because it is expected, but they would much rather not. When home shed most of that obligatory stuff and be free. However, some women adhere to the standards of expectation and consider it all a part of being female. I find it interesting that women have different views on this just like we do and I think that is significant in being able to say that, in a very general way, we are as female-like as women are female-like; but that does not make us female. To me, female-like and male-like refers to gender; female and male refers to sex. But what is comfortable is just human.

I am in a lull with underdressing simply because there is too much sadness in my life currently. But that will pass and as it does I am sure it will all come back - always has. The female-like part of me has become intensely internal and outward expression is currently not very important. That is normal for those of us who do not depend on outward expression completing the picture. For me, a bra is the most important garment for underdressing and inducing an outwardly directed sense of being female-like. The rest is dressing on the salad or gravy on the potatoes.

[Paulie Birmingham]

bNothing makes me look and feel like a woman more than when I slip on a bra and strap my girls in. !

My wife doesn't need an article of clothing to feel like a woman. She is a woman. She doesn't stop feeling like a woman when she takes it off.

[Brianne_bc]

same reason I take my bra off after getting in from a day of work.

[HollyGreene]

I have read on many occasions that the majority of women wear the wrong size bra. They've never measured themselves properly, so buy the wrong size.
Or they never remeasure themselves over time. "I've always been a 34C". But time, gravity, diet, birth of children take their toll and many women never bother to find out what their true size is.
Little wonder that they find them uncomfortable.

[Cheryl T]

I think most women hate wearing one because they wear the wrong size.
My wife went shopping once for bras and was asking my opinion on styles. She'd try one on and say this or that was wrong and I'd say try a bigger band in a smaller cup and she'd look at me like "what are you talking about". She had no clue that say a 42C is basically a 44B with a smaller band but the cups are almost the same. I knew more about them than she did.

As for my love of bras, well, if I don't wear one my boobs fall off and I love my boobs. She is amazed that I wear one to bed every night so that I can sleep in my forms and that at times I'll wear it for 2-3 days continuously. If you wear the correct size you don't even know it's there.

[MonicaPVD]

"I think most women hate wearing one because they wear the wrong size."

Add to the list of things you should never repeat in front of a woman.

[Linda K.]

I followed the VS guide to measuring your bra size and ordered one from Amazon. It is just fantastic! My forms stay put, even after sleeping in it all night, and it feels like it is just hugging me!!! I wish I had found this one before my pocket bra!!

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K1STXDJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

As far as women wanting to "rip their bras off," I am not opposed to that!!!

[Jamie390]

LOL, my wife has asked many times, "Why would anyone want to wear a bra if they don't have to???"

[Marcie]

I love wearing bras. Just yesterday I went out and bought two new bras with little flowers on them. When they are new they feel so nice. I also picked up four new pairs of colorful panties. I notice my old undies were starting to get quite warn.

[Glenda58]

My ex-girlfriend went for a bra fitting for the first time and said it was the best bra she ever wore. She was wearing the wrong size all her life. Then she had me get a bra fitting. If they fit well, they're not uncomfortable.

[Tina81]

I love wearing bras. I especially like the ones with 3-hook c or d cup. I like the feel of the bra wrapped around me, but I also like it when i decided I don't want to wear one for several days or weeks or months.

[Meredith R.]

So I was just wondering.... Why are there some women who do not like wearing bras? Some even who cannot wait to literally rip it right off their breasts when they get home. I myself love wearing bras, and they are my most favorite article of women's clothing to wear. Nothing makes me look and feel like a woman more than when I slip on a bra and strap my girls in.

I certainly hope they do not stop making them, I love bras so much!


You just described exactly how I feel about bras. I love strapping on one of my bra's and inserting my breast forms. It makes me feel so feminine and so sexy. I am picky about my bra's though, they have to be from Victoria's Secret. I don't find them uncomfortable at all. I just love how it feels when walk and my girls bounce!!

[Ceera]

I am speaking as one who has been in your state - a male wearing breast forms in a bra, and also now as someone who has had her top surgery, and now has real breasts to contain with my bras. I have transitioned to full time life as female, never going back to male for the last 3.5 years. My Top surgery was in November 2020, 15 months ago.

When I was only wearing breast forms, my bra did seem just like a firm hug. I could wear it from sunrise until the bars closed that night, actively dancing and nightclubbing all evening, and my bra still felt fine when I undressed to go to bed.

Now I have 38-C breasts, thanks to silicone gel implants which bumped me from a ‘full A’ to a ‘full C’ cup. The implants are firm enough that I can quite easily get away with going braless, pretty much whenever I want. But during a normal day, I always put on a bra when I get dressed. I usually take it off around dinner time, unless I am going out in the evening. If my evening is busy, I’ll probably put on a fresh bra before going out again. Why? Because by the time I want to take it off, the weight of my breasts tugging at the lower edge of the bra cups makes the lower edge of the breasts rather sore! That bra band and the lower edge of the bra cups digs in over the course of a day at the place where the curve of the breast transitions to the rib cage and chest.

So why not abandon the bras? Because day after day of gravity pulling down on your breasts will eventually make them sag and droop. A properly fitted bra cradles and supports the weight of the breast tissue, keeping your breasts looking youthful. And bouncing, unsupported real boobs can hurt! That is why sports bras exist - to firmly hold the breasts in place and minimize jiggle and bounce.

As one cisgender lady once said to me, “When you suddenly turn North, you don’t want your ‘girls’ to still be heading South!”

[dawnmarrie1961]

Because they can feel uncomfortable if you've been wearing one all day.That's the first thing that comes off when I get home from work.

[Ericka_d]

I never wore a bra before I transitioned. I never saw the point. Well 14 months of hormones, and border line dd cups. Any one that says they love wearing bras. Dosn't have breast, or have to wear one everyday for 12-16 hours. They are hot, dig in, and hurt some days. Don't even get me started on sports bras. I've literally gotten home some days, and let out a audblie moan of happiness. When I could take off my bra. Never once in 35 years of wearing men's clothes did I do that. When I removed a article of clothing.

[LIKETODRESS2]

I love wearing a bra as much as I can. WHen i cant One of the first I do when I get home. i go and put a bra one.

[AmyVanessa]

I love wearing any of my many bras. Then again sometimes when I get home for the night I can't wait to take my bra off.

[ellbee]

I wear a bra only every now & then. And all of them are of the padded sports-bra type.

Of course, I'm usually wearing it (when I do) in guy-mode, simply going about my day, so I don't stuff 'em... Though obviously when totally en femme, I'll put some men's socks in there! :heehee:


Honestly, I'm not much of a fan. They were great at first, but the novelty wears off.

Female-mode, they're a must for me. Guy-mode, it has more to do with dealing with the "nipple issue" when wearing fitted/tighter tops... And if I can get away with it, I usually won't wear one.


Around the 8-hour mark? I'm usually ready to rip it off. And once it hits like 12 hours (or more)? I'm *definitely* ready to rip it off! :roflmao:


I dunno. I suppose for many GG's, the duration of wearing one (usually every day), and what they actually do during all that time (not just primping & preening in front of a mirror, changing outfits 20 times, etc.), you know, like living real-world everyday life, perhaps while out & about?

Yep, I can definitely see why they want to rip 'em off, too, at the earliest opportunity! :laughing:

[Bruce64]

I love wearing my Brassiere so much I sleep in them.

[CrossKimmy]

I don?t get it either. The other day, my SO was wearing a body suit with a thong backside. When we got home she said ?I need to change and give my butt a break from something being crammed up it.? I wanted to laugh because why would you not want that feeling? To my that?s the best in the world!

[Molly Dodd]

Just my opinion...

To a lot of real women, a bra is sometimes just a evil necessity, not something to make them feel "feminine".

Total different mindset compared to people like us.

[crissy7]

I love wearing a bra,the first thing i put when i dress.

[JenniferMBlack]

Don't take this the wrong way. But do you wear a bra everyday with forms for 12 to 16 hours? Or even 8 hours a day? Trust me it is a whole different thing after a while. I tolerate bras now because I get to have my forms with them while I am out. But after several hours I am ready to take it off. The other day I did 20 hours out and bra and forms the whole day. Believe when I say when I got home my top came off the forms came out and that bra came off. I was do ready at that time. Today I am now at 12 hours and it's getting to that time it needs to go.

[Patience]

CDers love wearing bras because it is optional and a choice.

GGs hate wearing bras because for them, it is neither.

[Mackem Sue]

For me, it's more completeness of the dressing process.

I get why some women can't wait to get their bra off (noting I've been careful with the fitting) and I certainly wouldn't sleep in one (I have the odd bad night sleeping regardless). I am comfortable during the day in one.

Sue.

This is going to sound bad.

I do know of one lady a little younger than myself who's quite firm in the breast department and she can get away without a bra.

Without a bra in the way, it meant getting to the moment of passion that little quicker let's say.

I will say no more than that. Ahem...

Sue

[Jane G]

To my wife, my understaing is, bras are just something she needs to wear, to present what the rest of the word expects of her. In order to appear youth full and to present to males as such, she wears them. I am only presenting to myself, but the same rules seem to apply.:doh:

[RainbowDash]

Don't take this the wrong way. But do you wear a bra everyday with forms for 12 to 16 hours? Or even 8 hours a day?
Most of the time I will wear them for several hours at a time. A few times I wore a bra for much longer. The last time I wore one for almost 24 hours straight until I needed to go out to the store. It still felt very comfy and I did not want to take it off.
Again I am very much aware that I might feel different about wearing a bra if I were a woman or if I transitioned and grew my own breasts. Maybe then I would see bras in a different light. Who knows, maybe I am wearing the correct bra size for my breast forms, while many women are wearing the wrong size. When it comes time to take my bra off, it almost feels like its clinging to me like a child, like it does not want to come off. All this being said, I have felt a little discomfort from a couple of bras I wore, mainly push-up bras. Those seem to dig in and pinch some, so I don't wear them all that often.

[DestinyJ]

I wear a breast plate and I wear a bra from time to time. Really depends on what I?m wearing. After a few hours of being out I?m ready to get that bra off!

[Sandi Beech]

My wife hates them especially in hot weather but according to her, she wears them out of necessity to fight the long term effects of gravity and inertia. She is not into pretty ones , just functional ones. That being said, I like seeing pretty functional bras whether on her or me. Of course she only wants to see them on her.

Sandi

[AmeeJo]

My wife also hates wearing a bra. She gets very hot very fast so anything she's wearing makes her heat up faster. I do not have that issue and as long as my bra is the right size, I can wear it most of the day without any discomfort.

[sometimes_miss]

But do you wear a bra everyday with forms for 12 to 16 hours? Or even 8 hours a day? Trust me it is a whole different thing after a while.
It certainly IS a 'different thing'. I believe a large part of why WE wear them, is to provide a bit of feeling of what we believe it is to experience being female. Women don't need to do that; they ARE female, and have all the feelings and parts to go along with that, which we, don't.

[StephanieLake]

When I had "the talk" with my wife, one of the things I told her is I can't see myself wearing a bra, but lately I have found myself looking at them when I'm out shopping. I fear one day I will break down and buy one. I say fear, because I think I'll like it, then I'll have to fill it. What a slippery slope.

[Sebi]

I love wearing a bra as it really keeps everything flowing especially when I dance - or try to :)

[Rachelle77]

I have to admit I have slept in them, it adds to the fantasy that I have breasts.

[Paulie Birmingham]

bc we are cd and not women. we get a thrill fron it
. women simply dont get a thrill...ask a woman what makes her a woman its much deeper than clothes or makeup, etc.

[Mary Loo]

Paulie,

I think you have hit it on the head. My wife actually gets upset, that CDs embrace things that GGs hate or HAVE to deal with. It seems even those on here that stay en Femme frequently agree that there is a lot of hassle more than enjoyment. If you get to eat ice cream for every meal, it loses it’s specialness or treat status.

[Jenn A116]

A very interesting muse. I know I love wearing a bra, especially with forms. I enjoy the gentle hug I get from a bra. But then, its something Jennifer needs for her presentation because they hold the boobs on. I've occasionally gone bra-less when using self-adhesive breast forms and a snug top, which I love.

But... and this is important, I have a choice here. I don't need to wear one all the time. Unlike most GG's that do need to wear one most of the time. Add to that, the "fact" that most GG's are wearing the wrong size bra and it gets easier to understand why.

[abby054]

Women cram sensitive parts of their bodies all day long into a confined space that is, more often than not according to fashion industry studies, ill fitting, and then they complain about being uncomfortable. CDs wear the same devices, often selected more carefully and worn less often for shorter times, having perhaps psychological incentives and lacking the sensitive body parts, and they are more comfortable. Putting it that way gives me better understanding. Give it time, as Doc and others did, and things may be even better understood.

[Devi SM]

Rainbow,
I don't come here very often because my busy woman's life doesn't give much time or interest on what years ago was my daily bread.

Answering you silly post i could say that I'm writing a post that I hope to post after my soon GRS that i hope happens in next June.

The title of the post, that's part of a book titled "My wife gave me my woman's name" the story of and old transgender woman, the title, as I said, is " I remember....and what you post here as a question is one of those things I remember.

Today I'm one of those women that st the end of the day, around 8 pm, when with wife seat to watch our favorite, movie or series on TV, without programing or commenting, we both take off our bra.

I had my BA on last January 31st. So my boobs are real, look and feel real. 349 cc each implant plus my own B cup that grown after almost 4 years on HRT, gave me the real shape and feeling.

Just after carrying my real boob I learned to buy the best bra, the more comfortable and nice but at the end of the day, it feels so good go without bra, more when mine still not hanging down so i could go tempting guys showing my big nipples but that's something society doesn't accept very well yet and in the business and job i have I just can't.

The mind of a woman, believe me, is very different of a crossdresser.

If you want to understand us just move forward in four hobby and get the real thing.

I build and fly rc planes. I love to do aerobatics but sometimes a mistake can crash the plane losing it but is very different from being a real pilot carrying in your hands the real weight of a real plane with the life of passengers and your own life in it.

Pretending to be a woman is very different than being one so don't try to understand a woman just wearing a dress....

[GaleWarning]

Devi
I, on the other hand, CD because I love to wear the clothes!
It has nothing to do with trying to emulate a woman.
And I gave up trying to get inside the female head a long time ago! :)

I'm glad that you and your wife are happy.
Here's to comfortable, well-fitting bras, however long, and for whatever reason, we choose to wear them! :love:

[Beverley Sims]

I love bras too, lots of lovely styles out there.

Buy the wrong one and they can be itchy around the strap and band area usually due to the type of stitching used.

Another one is labels that are made using metallic thread.

That's why I like Berlei or Hestia, cotton thread finished smoothly so no lumps of thread or hard material to deal with.

[Mari]

Having only fairly recently gotten my first bra, I can kind of see both sides to the argument. I do quite enjoy the feeling of being "hugged" by it, and I like how a padded bra gives the feeling of having breasts, as I don't have forms yet. On the other hand though, I do get why women would find wearing them all the time uncomfortable, particularly if one wears the wrong size. As other people have said, we don't have to wear them all the time (unless we want to), whereas women generally do, which I imagine could get quite old after a while. That being said though, my sister has said that she actually finds it really uncomfortable to sleep without a bra, so not all women hate wearing them all the time.

[TAG]

Having to wear them every day and dealing with the boobs that go in them I'll bet your mind would change.
I can't wait to take my bra off after a long day.
Pretty bras are nice but they are not always comfy.
Sports bras with small elastic seams don't hold my breasts for more than a few hours.

[DianeT]

Women get rid of their bra at the end of day because their husbands love them so much without it. I know I do. No, no picture, sorry. Use your imagination.

Love also to read the posts about women not choosing the right size. These silly females. Ha! If only they had a crossdressing husband, this would never happen.

[Sallee]

she's probably right by men for women so men can ogle I like ogling LOL

[Joanne108]

My wife asked me one day, what?s so great about wearing a bra?
I told her, if I spend the day wearing one I will enjoy taking it off. However I find that wearing a bra is necessary for my illusion of looking like a woman.

[RainbowDash]

Another reason I think I love to wear them is this.... I like alot of the tight things women wear. A corset is another one of those tight items that I love wearing, because it fits your body tight and you can feel the tightness, but at the same time it feels snug. A bra has that tight feeling that I love, tight enough to be nice and snug, but not so tight that I feel it pinching me and can't wait to take off. Again, this might feel different if I had real breasts, but since I do not intend to get a sex change, I guess I will never really know.

[Krisi]

re: "Why do some women hate wearing a bra?"

You are asking a bunch of guys who dress as women why women hate wearing a bra. I don't think any of us know the answer to that question. You need to ask actual women.

The reason I wear a bra is to hold my boobs in place. Most women don't have that problem. I suppose if my boobs wouldn't fall off without my bra, I might not wear one all the time when I am dressed.

[Stephanie47]

Krisi, last night,totally out of the blue, my wife blurted out men who wear bras can not understand why women hate wearing bras because men have nothing to pack into it. I hope there was something on the television I missed while I was reading my book and not some comment about my cross dressing. I know I have not left any bras out and do not wear any unless sleeping in a nightgown. Her comment did not have any hostile tone??????????????

[Ginni]

I love wearing a Bra because it transforms me into a woman. I hate wearing a Bra because it is restictive and bothersome. I totalt understand ripping it off. I have done it myself.

[ReineD]

Some women buy the wrong bra for their bodies either because they think that cup size is the only thing that matters, or they've never given themselves time to figure out the best, most comfortable bra for them.

So of course their bras are uncomfortable and they feel better without wearing any. You on the other hand are a crossdresser so of course you love to wear bras!

Also, you only have one thing to worry about, and this is that the band (the part that goes around the circumference of your chest area) is the right size and isn't either too loose or too tight. You don't need to worry about the construction of the garment, the placement of the cups, whether or not they are too wide or too narrow or too high or too low, which in turn affects how the shoulder straps fit on the shoulders, etc. Your breast forms can go anywhere on your chest that you like! :)

You cannot compare yourself to GGs, it's like comparing apples to oranges.

And last, when women such as myself do wear bras that fit their bodies properly, they don't really feel the need to rip off their bras as soon as they get home. I can't even tell I have a bra on. But I buy my bras strictly for fit and comfort, not style or price/convenience (i.e. the cheapie model at Walmart because I'm in a rush and can't be bothered).

Concur with ReineD. My wife and I both note that for some things in life, going cheap is always the wrong way to go. It applies to bras as well. My wife recently dropped $300 on 4 bras. Loves them. She used to wear cheap bras (before I met her). No more.

The biggest difference between us and a GG is that for us a bra is optional. We might romanticize or fetishize wearing a bra, but at some point, we take it off and put it away because it's not convenient for things like work or sports. Imagine having to wear a bra Every. Single. Day. from the time you're twelve until the day you die. It has to get old at some point.

When I was in high school I got a part-time job at a Dunkin' Donuts store. I really liked donuts as a kid so the job was one step closer to heaven. I could eat as many donuts as I wanted at work and even bring a few home for friends and family. My job was mostly cleaning but they also taught me some finishing and even mixing dough and baking. It was great.I could do all the extra things if I had extra time on my shict or they needed someone to fill in.

One day, our night baker was killed in a car acciden and so I was "promoted" to the night baker spot. Suddenly, I HAD to be there on my scheduled nights and I HAD to make to donuts ... hundreds of dozens during each shift. Instead of casually filling up my shift with things to do, the donuts HAD to done and ready before the morning customers started filing in around 5:30 AM. After the 1st week, by the end of each shift, the LAST thing I wanted to see or eat was a donut.

To me, bras are like donuts. Somevare plain, some quite frilly. We CDs are like the part time mode. We can eat them when we want, even try out all the flavors!! GGs are more like the night baker ... not much choice just get them made. (BTW it took about a decade before I could bring myself to eat a donut after I quit that job!!)

Wearing bras and corsets can be flesh cutting at times. Yet i love them.
