I have a pair of "No Peaks" that I put in each cup of my bra. It keeps points & darkness from showing.

I can relate to not wanting to. And sometimes, when it's cold enough for multiple layers, I'll just put on a camisole that has the built-in support and layer up from there.

My layers normally consist of tank top, tee shirt, long sleeve shirt, sweater, then coat with scarves and gloves. I'm going to hate it when it snows!!

You wait until you've had kids. The temp doesn't matter at all then.

I love those. I can only wear them around the house though. They aren't supportive enough.

I wear one because I have to, but if I can wear clothes that cover me adequately I will skip it.

I think women won't truly be equal as long as we have to manipulate our bodies in a hurtful way to please others. It's the modern equivalent of a corset. The only somewhat male equivalent is a tie, and I rarely see that even in corporate America. (Except lawyers, bankers, and execs)
Seriously? I wear a bra because it looks awful without one. And frankly, it feels better as well. I don't like the bouncing around, so I want my boobs supported and covered.

What's wrong with being French?

More seriously, there are some researches that should lead to more work on this topic, especially if the correlation with breast cancer is confirmed. It doesn't mean that all women should stop wearing a bra, just that just like we went from the corset to the bra, maybe there is some improvements to make to reduce those risks while enjoying all the current benefits.

I wear bras so my nipples don't poke into fabric and become visible or more "accessible" looking at work. Although frankly, I enjoy looking at my cleavage and squishing the girls myself. Bras are expensive if they are comfortable and itchy and pinchy if they aren't. I hate shopping for something I don't even like wearing.

Funny thing is that even showing that you are wearing a bra is scandalous... if strap peeks over your shoulder... as if boobs are supposed to naturally be inconspicuous lumps and if anyone is reminded that they are not it is offensive.

I have mixed feelings on how much I should do what I want and how considerate I need to be of others. Women at my office are accused of looking for sexual attention by other women if they wear anything remotely revealing, and under a previous female boss one girl was sent home to change for showing midriff when she lifted her arms.

I worry that others would think I am trying to use sex to get favors at work when I really want to feel comfortable. What is ironic is "sexy" clothes are generally less comfortable, and bras are marketed as sexy clothes.

If I could avoid social stigma, I would never wear a bra.

Check out snopes - there is no relationship of wearing bras and cancer. The correlation is between more industrialized countries where bra-wearing is prevalent and then the diet that goes along with that environment. No causal effect between the two. BTW, no causal effect of using deodorant and breast cancer either....!
