That's a big reason many women who hate them wear them anyway. I'm a large B/small C with very little sag, but their still big enough that they will move, and draw attention if I don't wear a bra, so I feel I have to wear one to work. It's just not culturally acceptable to have breasts that move freely, so only very small women can "get away" with not wearing a bra, and people will likely still give them crap if their nipples happen to show, I used to work with a girl who would wear band aids to hide them when she didn't feel like wearing a bra, it worked.

If the main reason is to avoid the nipples being shown, why not just wear bandaids over them? That's what I heard women do if they're wearing a thin bikini top.

I just mentioned that above, that only works for very small breasted women. Women who are larger also have culturally unacceptable movement of the breasts.

Yikes, adhesive bandages make me break out when I wear them on my regular skin, I can't imagine how that would go over on my areolas.

Eek! Not fun, they do make regular nipple covers now, they are in the bra section of many stores.

I actually have some that I use over my ankle bones to prevent soreness when I wear ice skates. The ones I use have some type of reusable adhesive that pulls off easily, and gets sticky again every time you wash them.

Oh, like sticky boobs? I've never worn them but they look nifty. Though my body has some weird reactions to sticky stuff. I had a round bandaid on my arm for a couple days after an injection and the area where the adhesive was (but not the actual bandage part) turned a lighter color and stayed that way for months.

I'm not sure what they are made of, they look almost like a small round "cutlet," cup shaped, about a 2 1/2-3" circle, it's thicker in the center, and thins out so they fit over the top of the breast and cover the nipple area, or ankle bone in my case. I don't know what kind of adhesive they use, but it just sticks right on the skin, pulls right off, and then gets sticky again if washed with water.

It's not as hard of a stick as a bandaid, and somehow the stickiness keeps regenerating. My skin is quite sensitive, and they have never bothered me, but you never know what someone will react to. Months from a band aid is intense!

You may just be slightly allergic to adhesive. Whenever I go in for medical things (which is fairly often considering my disorder) I always have to specify they use paper tape or no tape at all, otherwise I break out in a nasty rash. When I get my blood drawn I refuse tape and band aids as well.

When I got surgery on my shoulder/collarbone area it was horrible because they had to keep it covered and taped down with plastic surgical tape and my entire shoulder broke out in hive type blisters for weeks afterwards. Stupid random allergies.

He still considers himself some sort of magician.
Thays a hilarious story lol, but its not that hard..i mean ive seen my ex do it enough to know how to do it...r men really that clueless?

The reason that I wear bras (without an apostrophe), is that I am uncomfortable without one.
