42J here. I’ll take the trash out, get the paper, or answer the door without a bra. If I’m actually going somewhere, I have to wear a bra. It’s just not comfortable to go to far without one. I don’t wear one to bed, though. I can’t sleep wearing clothes.
What you said regarding size and anatomy, but I never go outside without a bra on, and wear one around the house while I’m dressed too. I hate how they can bounce even with a bra on, so I’m sure not going to let them run loose. Plus I like well-fitted shirts, which would make it really freaking obvious that the wearer does not have a bra on. Ew.
Excuse me, but I’ll have you know that a great number of men enjoy the more compact version as well. I’ve gotten the distinct impression from a number of threads on this very board that the majority of men like them in any size.
As a 36-B, quite perky thank you very much, I could go around without a bra, but I usually don’t in a t-shirt, because of nipplage. Halter tops, some tank tops, and the like, no problem.
I am never in public without a bra (size 34B). It just feels…wrong. When I’m getting into comfy clothes for the night then the bra comes off, never sleep in one, but other than that it’s on all day.
DD here. I’ll go to my (detached) garage to get something, but only because I have a privacy fence. I will also check my mail, which requires opening the door and reaching to the mailbox. I won’t take more than a step outside the house without one. Trust me, y’all don’t want to see that shit.
That is my impression, as well. And believe me, if I would have been assigned a nice pair of Bs or Cs I would be deliriously happy. And have less trouble bra-shopping.
34 B, almost never go out without a bra, if I do, I have a sweatshirt on and it’s just to run errands quick. Nipple factor. It just seems wrong. If I showed up at jobsites without a bra I might have some problems with my subs. Or homeowners.
I don’t feel completely “dressed” without one. Although for some of my more revealing dresses, I will go without.
And for some reason, I really don’t like other womens nipples being obvious, either. It’s very distracting, but not necessarily in a sexual way, rather a LOOK AT ME, I’VE GOT NIPPLES kind of way. So I try to refrain from subjecting strangers to mine.
Nowhere.
I used to go braless when I was a college kid (back when the dinosaurs roamed the earth, ya 'know) but in my later years it’s just too uncomfortable. Perhaps it’s the added cup size from having kids - started out a 34A, now a 38C. And yes, I sleep in one too.
I agree with you. OTOH, the next thought through my head is always “WTF? How did nipples become wrong?”
Out onto the doorstep to check the mail. MAYBE as far as the curb to put out the trash.
Speaking for babygirl, (why else would I be in this thread 
) she almost always has a bra on when she goes out even though it is usually uncomfortable for her to wear one. The second she walks in the door, the bra comes off. On weekends, she may run to the store for one or two things, but only if she has a heavy shirt on or a jacket.
As far as what constitutes our house, she will go to the end of the driveway or to check the mail braless, even if she is wearing a white T-shirt. FTR, I like it when she does that.

Full C here. If I leave the house, I have a bra on, what with the nippleage and all. I take it off generally within an hour of getting home from work, though, unless I know I’m going somewhere.
Forgot to add, babygirl is a 44DD.

I don’t know. I nursed all my kids, even in public, but I wasn’t blatant about it. If someone got an accidental eyeful, whatever, grow up.
I have no problem with swimwear nipples, and I have no problems with nakedness in general, I *like *naked.
But women wearing sheer or thin tops without bras, especially in a professional setting, just seems wrong.
Part of it is that I know how much of a profound effect it has on men. When my husband comes home, and will notice within about 13.6 seconds if I am not wearing a bra, indicates to me that men notice, and immediately. If *I *notice, me-the oblivious hetero that I am, you gotta know men are. Men are all for nipplage, trust me.
Going one step further, if I was to go bra less for reasons other than convenience of not getting completely dressed for a quick errand, or getting the mail, it’d be to distract men. Therefore, in my opinion, women who go braless consistently, especially when well endowed, are looking for male attention. Which is more than fine in certain circumstances, but not at work, (unless it’s Hooters) and not at your kids soccer games, or volunteering at the soup kitchen.
It’s called situationally appropriate modesty.
36 C.
I will answer the door and get the mail without a bra, but as others have noted, I will not leave the house without a bra unless I have on a hoodie or something.
It’s the visible nipples more than anything. Before I had anything to put in a bra, my mother made me wear undershirts at puberty in order to hide my nipples.
So I was raised to believe that visible nipples are tacky. Regardless of the circumstances.
I don’t really care what the UPS guy thinks, or anybody who sees me get the mail, because I’m still “home.”
But if I get in my car for any reason, the bra goes on.
I know what you mean!! The larger the cup the more expensive it seems and the uglier they are.
Well, I can assure that it’s not true for me. I go braless in almost any situation where there’s not a very specific reason that I have to wear one. I do it for comfort. As I’ve stated in various threads I find bras very uncomfortable. I usually wear one while excercising but that’s the only time when I find jiggling uncomfortable. At work I generally wear a camisole or a top thick enough that you can’t tell I’m not wearing a bra. I do have a few thinner tops that don’t work with a camisole. I don’t wear them often but when I do I wear a bra. And I disagree that going braless is immodest. If you’re wearing a sheer or very tight shirt sure it’s immodest. But other than that it’s just fashion. However, it’s a fashion that’s so ubiquitously observed in our society that most people think it’s mandatory.
ETA: I’m a B cup
E? F? Somewhere around there.
Braless at home most of the time. I’ll open the door to delivery peoples with the girls unleashed (but covered). I’ll take the bin out to the curb or check the mail at the end of the driveway.
But hell if I’m going anywhere beyond the borders of my property with the puppies on the loose. These things jiggle and sag and ache and pull on my shoulders and sweat and chafe and JESUS TAKE ME.
I’d kill to be somewhere down to a C or a B.
Quite right.
48DDD, E, or F here. Well, sometimes if we’re just going out to dinner at our favorite little restaurant (informal) I won’t wear a bra. I will, of course, be wearing a large undefined t-shirt.
I’m with it here, too, though. I feel like I’m about 5000 degrees if I don’t wear a bra when it’s hot outside.
I’ll answer the door, make a run to the drive-thru or go downstairs to the (complex) laundry room with no bra. At home, it usually comes off ten minutes after I walk in the door.
In public, a bra hides the nipplage.
