I’ve been going braless for months now. Being part of the Itty Bitty Titty Committee, this wasn’t so hard a transition for me. It was quite simple- my boobs are small (A Cup range, if you must know) and wearing a bra was just plain uncomfortable.

There have been connections made between wearing a bra and developing breast cancer or fibrocystic breast disease, because wearing a bra can hinder how your breasts remove toxins and other processes. In addition, not wearing a bra is supposed to actually prevent sagging. Boobs have ligaments, and just like any other muscle, to be strong, they need to be used. When you wear a bra to support your boobs, those muscles aren’t being used, causing your boobs to lose the inability to support themselves without a bra.

For me, it’s a way to say fuck you to the media, big corporations that benefit from selling bras and making me hate my body, and pressure for girls/women to look a certain way. For such a long time, I had problems with my self-image, because I hated how small my breasts were, and I thought no guy could look at me and like me. Wearing bras would make my boobs look bigger.

Eventually, however, I got sick of being brainwashed and oppressed. I got sick of feeling uncomfortable and confined. I got sick of looking at myself in the mirror without a bra, and thinking I look bad, just because my boobs looked small. Well, you know what, they are small. And I love them. And they’re healthy and free and oh so comfy.

Your’s can be too. =]
