Mine comes off when at home and no company and on when someone else is here or I go elsewhere. I put one on at home when I do exercises to help prevent any tissue damage or stretching from bouncing around.
In high school we had a song
We Must We Must
Exercise the Bust
For Fear For Fear
It Might Disappear
Look, ladies, if you want to have Furniture Disease sooner rather than later, go with out support.
I've always been very active and I hate, HATE the feeling of being braless while doing anything more vigorous than watching TV. It is just plain uncomfortable to feel those things swinging around. I am only a B cup but even so.
Actually, a few years ago I had a bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction so it is kind of a moot point now (reconstructions don't sag), but I still wear a bra for nipple coverage. I had a nipple-sparing mastectomy and I think they are more visible now than ever.
And frankly, no one over the age of 30 has a "perky" chest no matter how small they are.
TMI, here: I'm forty-one and mine are still quite "perky." No sagging in the least, although I do generally wear a bra to prevent chafing and nipple exposure. Good genetics, being very physically active with a decent amount of upper body-type activities that help build the underlying chest muscles, and having never gained or lost significant amounts of weight over the years likely helps with this. My seventy-four-year-old mother is still in relatively good form despite her age and having had three pregnancies as are my older sister's. The women in our family also tend to develop our rather small breasts relatively late in adolescence and have very good skin elasticity, so that likely helps to keep things up, so to speak.

Maybe not "perky", but the density of breast tissue has a LOT to do with it. A woman in her late 40's can have awesome natural DD breasts that hardly sag at all without a bra. Ask me how I know
And then there are women with very little density, which tend to flop around when they're large.

Haha - speak for yourself! When I started getting mammograms in my 40's the technician said I had very dense breasts and I said "Sure...now" and she said I'd always be perky. Maybe she just wanted to go out with me but 15 years later I still easily pass the pencil test - but hey, I'm only a B.
The ONLY time I leave the house without a bra is if I have to run to the convenience store and it's winter so I can wear one particular oversized hoodie that completely obscures the fact that my boobs have gone south.
This is me, too.
I haven't gone out in public without a bra otherwise since I was 10, and was the first girl in my class to need one.
A bra is necessary for me since two pregnancies and breastfeeding. Pre-pregnancy/nursing, I was a C cup, post, a DD to DDD depending on the manufacturer. Pregnancy and breastfeeding totally changed my breasts.
But, I was pretty late to develop. By seventh grade, I wasn't a B cup yet, and even though I had bras, I rarely wore them because I found them annoying. Then, one day in art class, a sketchy 8th grader who was actually almost 16 was roaming around the room before class started, snapping bras (this was about 1990, good luck doubt this now and not getting smacked with sexually inappropriate, harassing, and assault type behavior). When he tried to snap mine, he bellowed, "WHOAH, SHE ISN'T WEARING ONE!!!" Again, would not fly now.
