"Man Boobs" are not only from weight gain. It's a normally-occurring hormonal issue. As we age, we start to look more & more like the opposite sex. That's why older women start growing facial hair & men start losing muscle.

Why thank you for that additional bit of information. Not sure I really wanted to read it . Lol

I wear a very soft sports bra when I go out. At home I don't wear any. I look for blouses with two pockets in the right place and short sleeves so you can't peak in sideways. works for me.

That works well for me too Ruth, even sleeveless if the arm holes are not too large, then it's not a problem.
 

Ok I’m not meaning to get too personal but don’t your nipples show under your t shirts when you wear no bra ?
Id definitely need the pockets at the front. Lol
 
Only with light colors Keesha, that's why I wear a shirt with front pockets or a sports bra with them. Maybe if the shirt was skin-tight, but that's not my style.
 
Quite frankly, even at 70 I still look good without a bra, but my clothes on me look even better with one on. As far as breast cancer, there are better ways to try and prevent that. I have to laugh how someone puts up such an opinion and suddenly everyone is baring their chest. :eek:nthego:
 
Ok thanks Seabreeze. That wouldn’t work for me. Oddly enough when my husband and I went to our local grocery store, the elderly cashier serving us with braless. Not that I go around looking but it was quite evident. Nobody seemed to care. She looked presentable. I probably wouldn’t have noticed but did due to this thread.
Ditto Olivia but I’m ten years younger.
 
So much I want to say ITT!!

Well endowed only means more fat. Less in my book is best.

That's not a fair statement. Being well endowed doesn't mean one is fat. I've gotten down to 113 pounds..and at 5'8" I was gaunt and skeletal and anorexic-looking due to the stress of my marriage, and I was still full breasted. My band size went down, from a 36 worn on the first set of hooks to a 34 worn on the last set...but my cup size didn't change.

And wish some others would post some "interesting" topics to discuss. .

I think you're being unduly critical. There are a wealth of interesting topics posted here! Because they're not interesting to YOU doesn't automatically mean that they're not interesting to the majority. Obviously they are, as there are multiple pages of responses on many topics daily.

When I was younger and gave up smoking, I started working out, doing Jazzercise and jogging a lot, that's when I started to wear sports bras which were supportive and much more comfortable than a regular bra. .

I LOVE my sports bras I can't wear one every day, but I do when I can. Gap also makes an 100% cotton shelf bra, SO comfortable. Mom shelf bras I can't wear because they don't have adjustable straps and they cut under my arms and drive me nuts bu the Gap ones are adjustable and it makes a huge difference to me. I have one each in white, black and beige.

Ron says both the sports bras and the Gap shelf bras give me a uni-boob. :lol: Great way to describe what it does to one's silhouette!!!!

I stopped wearing underwire bras years back...I couldn't find any that were comfortable in the slightest.

I am not overweight, but I'm still heavy breasted and not at all comfortable either mentally or physically going without a bra anywhere but at home. I'm barely in the door before it comes off, often while I'm still wearing all my other clothes..I do this strange contortionist dance to pull the straps down my arms from under my shirt and then reach up under the front of my top and voila!!! It's off! A bit harder with a sports bra. ;)

I never wear a bra at home. I change into my "touch-me-nowhere" clothes as soon as I get home, or the entire time I'm at home. Very occasionally I'll go to the grocery store or something without a bra, but only if I have enough layers on that the movement under my clothing isn't noticeable. Otherwise I'm way too self conscious. It's not about how I look, way more about making others uncomfortable and being so noticeable.

I think you misunderstand me. It should be obvious to anyone who's read a few of my posts here that I don't give a #$%@ what others think of me. What other folks think of me is none of my damn business! :lol:

I am however mindful of not making other people uncomfortable. It's a manners/courtesy thing. It's impossible to not notice protruding nipples and swinging, bouncing breasts, both of which happen when I go bra-less...the consequence of having nursed 5 children, and being fairly well endowed. So I wear a bra when I go out. Otherwise I'm having to think constantly of my body, don't walk too fast so I don't jiggle as much, it's colder than I thought should I go back and get a sweater, remembering to keep my arms crossed so that I'm not unintentionally flaunting my "free thinking" boobs! ;)

Too much work. So much easier to pop on a sports bra before I head out.
 
I just found this thread. I've read the whole thing now and I have to say, "Nicely done ladies". I'm being completely sincere.

Y'all have managed to unintentionally wake up the senior male population in our forum with talk of ways to hide our nipples, clothes to help with that feeling of freedom, and all the while saving the guyz from ever having to ask "What are you wearing" and "What are your measurements":laugh:. I admire your candor, ladies. Got a laugh at the cartoon of the couple on the beach, Seabreeze.

:sunglass:
 
You have to admit this topic brought a LOT to the table and even some crack up cartoons.

And we are all different in many many ways, and I don't even wear blouses anymore....worked 40 yrs and wore everything tidy and nice and for the last some yrs I love my summer and winter t shirts...and loose NOT tight. Over those t's depending on weather I wear long sleeve shirts and only go for MY comfort....
 
That uni- boob is exactly why I don’t like sports bras. They are super comfortable but they push the girls together and I really don’t like that. I’m large chested, meaning I have a wife rib cage from swimming a lot so have a problem finding a sports bra that’s comfortable AND looks good. Most of the women at the gym wear them along with a tank top and they look very attractive. I’d really like to find one that fits me without giving me uni- boob cause I HATE that look. I prefer my separate. Lol

Does anyone know of brand that does give uni-boob?
 
Deleted. Probably not appropriate to ask about sportsbra recommendation on a ‘throw your bra away ‘ thread.
