I am seeing these everywhere and they are so cute. Do you wear them w/out a bra or do you wear a cami under or something? My boobs are way too saggy to not wear a bra, I'm afraid :wah:

Chloesmommy,
YOU ARE MY IDOL!!!!

I live in spaghetti strap tanks WITH the built in bra. I have saggy boobs too, some days I don't care, but I am not quite comfortable and accepting of myself yet to go braless all the time. MY goal is to BURN those **** padded push up bras I own.

(being single and looking barely 21 in a conservative area, it is hard to meet hippy guys who dont mind the braless look, so I do a little false advertising when I go out.)

And emmas~clogs,
if I wear a tank with tiny straps, and a bra, I just let my bra straps show and dont give a flying hoot.

LOL!!! I am fast approaching the braless state, in fact..I have deemed Sunday to be no bra-day here!! I wear the spaghetti strap tops, but they have a shelf bra... I am not brave enough to wear one without a shelf bra in public ( which is dumb..those shelf bras don't do much anyway...) I hate bras! I agree, Chloesmommy... you are my idol too :)

I hate going braless. I hate them flapping around. It drives me nuts.

I go braless no and then, but what I cannot stand is my boobs sweating! I think the bras absorb the sweat so when I am wearing when I do not notice it.

but I do go braless under many things. I own 2 bras, 1 white and 1 navy and wear them maybe twice a week with certain shirts. I HATE bras!!! But love the cami's with the shelf.

Well, as a large chested lady, I say, thank heavens for the bra. Only thing that saves my breasts and my back. Ugh. Especially these days (nursing).

Anyhow, I let my straps show. Heck, I even let the little clips on my nursing bras show.

I saw some really cute bras at the store the other day with clear straps. I assume for wearing with tanks.

I either

1. wear a bra and don't care if the straps show

or

2. don't wear a bra and don't care if nipples show

But you could also layer them!

J.Jill makes a nice supportive camisole with a built in shelf bra.

They are the most comfy and supportive of the various ones I have tried and made. When they go on sale they are around $9.99-$14.99. I must own a dozen or so and wear them all the time. I am a B cup for what it is worth. :D

I don't know what to do! I have no boobs after nursing five kids, all of which are all older now. But I have huge nipples!! What should I do, I mean I don't want to look like a wanna be teenager again, but I don't know what kind of tank I could wear that would hide these monstrosities!!!! :help:

I used to wear shelf bra tanks. Or i'd only wear tank tops I could wear a bra under.

Now that i've had the breast surgery I can go braless and might on occasion (like in the goddess dress j3 sold me lol or in an apron top)
but mostly i'll wear a strapless under some tanks or keep wearing my built in bra tanks. I find them comfortable - I have one or two from old navy, one or two gap ones. I think they're way cute with a hippie skirt

I dunno. I mean, it gets to be like 115-120 here in the summer. Around the house - tank top and skirt/shorts. But to the store- probably woudl throw on a shelf tank and or a regular tank with a strapless underneath just so the headlights don't blind people lol

I wear a bra (hate to go without one) and don't give a hoot if anyone sees my bra straps.

I wear a bra, and let the straps hang out. I live in a very trendy, metro city area, and everyone lets the straps hang out. Key is to have pretty straps, so you wear your prettier bras underneath when you wear a cami. I don't get enough support from a shelf cami, and I sag too much and sweat without proper coverage. :rolleyes:

I totally hate the 'built in bras' in many camis

I have been bra less for 15 years (since I had my first baby and was getting indigestion from them constantly)

That being said.....I am a 38B and no one, I mean NO ONE has ever commented on my not wearing a bra. I don't think anyone has noticed!

Hallelujah!
