It is really humid today and bras are Not comfortable.
Can I wear one without seemign slutty or offensive?
Is it that big of a deal (not for me-34B)?
Would you be offended if you saw a braless woman? WOuld it be too much of a turn on?
Depends on the shirt. And the surroundings . . . i.e. are you going to work, to a formal party, to pick your kids up from something?
[this post has 0 sexual innuendos in it. I am either very proud of myself or very tired. I suspect both.]
Maybe this is more of a IMHO post but I’ll take a shot anyway.
A good friend of mine hardly ever wears a bra. Sometimes I tease her in a good natured manner, but that’s about it.
What’s too much of a turn on? Do you mean that you will get so many stares that you would feel uncomfortable. I’ve personally never minded when a person wears (or doesn’t wear) something I find exciting.
Yes, if you are attractive and reveal your body in any way, there will probably be men that will take some rather long looks at you. I don’t think that should let that stop you though. Wear what you want to wear and if anyone’s offended, they can look the other way.
If you’re worried about too much attention, try wearing something large and loose. Maybe add a vest of some kind over your shirt.
I’d say it would be more tasteful if you limited your bralessness to opaque shirts, but it’s really up to you. I’m a 34b, too and I go braless most of the time. It really is too sweaty and constricting on hot days. I do the nipple test: Can I see my nipples through the shirt? If so, I don’t wear it in public. Also, there is the all important bend over test: If I bend over, does anything fall out? How far in can they see?
Now as for whether or not people will think you’re slutty, who knows and who cares? Do you think you look slutty? Are you breaking any laws? Are you causing accidents? If not, liberate those boobies!
As for sluttiness, that’s not even in the same zip code as not wearing a bra, esp. for the reason to gave.
BTW, your homepage doesn’t wory. Still.
I agree with iampunha. If you’re going to spend the afternoon with the elderly CEO and his/her spouse, you would probably want to go with the bra.
As for seeming slutty, being a turn-on or being offensive, I don’t think a bra or lack of one is the detirmining factor. Assuming you’re not slutty or offensive with a bra, I would guess you’re not slutty or offensive without one.
Of course, if you combine bra-lessness with red, 6-inch pumps, a skin-tight black cocktail dress and a whip, some people might think your were a bit, ahhhhh, morally casual.
And Lord yes, it is humid today.
Depends on your breasts, I would say. There is a female at my college that doesn’t wear a bra. Lordy, her boobs are not in good shape. They hang down to her navel (as do mine, but I wear a bra, damnit). Everytime she walks by, people I’m with comment on it.
If they look good, go for it! If not, expect some comments.
I hope the top is thin enough that the nipples stick out.
And even that you can see the areola clearly, and read any tattoos, and you’re a little sweaty, so it clings and becomes transparent, and… Oops. Gotta go change my pants now.
A B-cup is kinda the DMZ between the A-cup, where there’s not much to jiggle, and the C-cup or above, where if you go braless, expect even the women to stare. Seriously. I saw some chick with at least a C-cup wearing one of those ridiculous tie-in-the-back bib shirts, and her breasts were like that little bouncing ball that goes along with lyrics on Disney cartoons. I was following it all the way down the street. I have no idea if she realized how incredibly stupid she looked. There are certain fashions that just aren’t meant for women with average to large breasts, and those shirts top the list.
Basically, for you, it depends on the shirt and the company. If you’re meeting your son’s kindergarten teacher, don’t do it. If you’re gardening in your backyard or making a quick jaunt to the grocery store, it shouldn’t be a problem.
Unless, of course, they have the AC up too high. 
I disagree.
Drain Bead:
It was Feischer cartoons that had the bouncing ball (they invented the idea), not Disney.
Gee, a whole thread on bobbling breasts, and I comment on the cartoon reference.
BTW, your homepage doesn’t wory. Still.{Thats because my friend changed computers and can’t figure out how to put it up again(he can’t get it up ha!). Will do my best.

Don’t worry about it, vanilla. Seriously. I was just wondering how you looked.
I think I’m somewhere between a B and a C.
I saw a woman in her late fifties today-too tan (leathery skin), dyed hair and yellow tie-in-back top with a PLUNGING neckline, middrift and no bra. He breasts were almost down to her waste for crying out loud! It looked so freaking tacky.
I don’t like going braless when I’m out-it makes me self-conscious. Besides…it kind of hurts.
going braless was asking to be raped (she was wrong alot) This led me to the image of the rapist jumping out of the bushes, throwing me to the ground, tearing open my shirt to see that I was wearing a bra, apologizing and helping me up instead.
My standards have always been: I wear a bra to work. If I go to a religious service, I would generally wear one there, too
Any time I don’t have to, I don’t. My college days I was a C cup. Went braless 24/7. Didn’t wear see thru shirts tho. These days, I’m a D cup and frankly, Drain Bead, I don’t get people falling down in agony behind me or staring or whatever. In general, the people I care about don’t care if I wear one or not, and I don’t care what the others think.
Bras in general hurt me, going braless doesn’t. my breast do NOT hang to my navel, they hang about where they did at a C cup (wider, not longer) reminds me of the joke " I still wear a 38, 'course, now it’s a 38 long…"
I believe everybody should wear what makes them comfortable, but I can understand vanilla’s concerns because I wonder about the same stuff. It’s been super humid around here lately, and I’d love to throw on a cotton T-shirt (opaque, I agree with Tatertot on that one) and go braless. But I’m a D-cup, and I can’t help but think people will stare at me. I tend to forgo a bra when I’m just going out for a few minutes, but I always wear one if I’m going to be out for very long.
vanilla, you don’t wear one in the bathtub & you don’t wear one in the shower, probably not in bed either, so, sure, don’t wear one if you don’t want to, also, if you need to, just post us a picture of them melons & we can examine the situation.
Women should not feel obligated to wear uncomfortable clothes in order to turn men on, nor should they feel obligated to wear uncomfortable clothes in order to avoid turning men on.
This was not C&P’d from this thread, but from his only other offering on the board.
Jeeesh ddibb, come up with some new material, eh?
Back to the OP:
It isn’t necessarily the size of the cup that should dictate whether or not you go without a bra. I have seen some flabby little B cups that flop around like boiled eggs in a Baggie and some very nice firm C and D cups that look great braless in halter tops.
BTW - Whether or not you wear a bra has nothing to do with looking slutty or trashy. I have a gorgeous backless black dress that I wear braless (I’m a C cup). It looks quite classy.
Absolutely not. I’ve never understood why women still feel compelled to wear a bra when it obviously isn’t needed for support or comfort. I thought the bra burning in the 60’s and 70’s freed you from all that.
I think you should dress in whatever way makes you comfortable.
