I highly dislike bras. On of the main reasons being, they're probably one of the most expensive garments you'll buy. If you take everyday wear, assuming you're not wearing any designer brands, you're paying the most for the amount of fabric you're getting. I've bought entire outfits that didn't cost as much as my bras. But not only are they expensive. They're basically useless. When you're a certain size, I understand actually needing the support, and that's fine. However, I'm fairly well-endowed, and I've found that I really don't need one for any kind of support. I'm completely fine without one - no pain or ill effects. Wearing a bra, on the other hand, is very uncomfortable for me. And it may be that I'm not wearing, exactly, the right size, but I've measured, so I'm probably close, and anyway, to find a bra for myself, given my size and stature, is nearly impossible. Anyway, at the end of the day, there's nothing better, for me, than getting out of that contraption, and letting my chest just relax for a bet. And what, exactly, is the purpose of this? Well, there is none. At least, not a practical purpose. As I've said before, I don't need a bra for support purposes, and as a D-cup, most people are either my size or smaller. So, unless you fit into the quarter of women who are bigger than that, there's really no reason to wear them for support purposes, either. So really, it all comes down to an issue of image. We're, essentially, forced into wearing bras because of this certain image which other people want us to uphold. And this image and way of thinking is so ingrained, it's socially unacceptable for women -not- to wear a bra, which is ridiculous. If you want to wear a bra, I'm fine with that, and I support your decision to do so. I just wish there were room in society for people on the other side of the spectrum, such as myself, to not have to wear a bra without being thought of as homely and without self-confidence. It'd sure save me a chunk of change which I don't really care to spend in the first place, as well as making me quite a lot more comfortable, both physically and emotionally. </rant>
