7pm and the Bra is off.....

I can’t stand bras, they make my back ache. I normally wear a sports bra if I wear one when out and as soon as I am home I take it off. Most days I just wear one of my Ambra very comfortable seamless, stretchy tank tops that I think are as good as a sports bra.

I sometimes do gardening etc without a bra on, but do feel a bit self-conscious if neighbours stop to talk - even although I know I shouldn't bother.
I often take my bra off in the evening - my husband thinks it's some sort of magic trick when I manage to take it off without taking my blouse/jumper off !
I also find the straps slip off my shoulders no matter how I adjust them.
Looking for recommendations for comfy non-wired bra - most I've tried don't give a very flattering shape, but I will persevere.

Lemongrove ?

Some funny posts on this thread.
I am ok with bra on until after dinner in the evening, then it’s nice to change and be comfortable.
A few years ago we went to a neighbours house for drinks and an evening meal, and wanting to look good I wore a lovely lacy bra that was actually a bit too small, but gave a good shape under a dress.So far so good.
After lengthy drinks, then the meal, then the pud, then coffee......?the bra became more and more agonising.
I went to the loo and took it off, luckily I had a scarf in my bag, which I draped round myself, haha.
The moral of the story is not to be vain about bras, and always have a scarf in your bag ( they cover stains too.)

Same here, although I was recommended by my Doctor to always wear a Bra if I wanted to keep their shape.
He was a lovely saucy old fella

Never thought about taking my bra off before bed time, perhaps I’ll give it a try. Fortunately I’m only an A cup but M&S light as air t-shirt bras are very comfy.

I stopped wearing ordinary bras when I retired. I now wear an ahhhh bra ( or similar) , pull on , no seams. If you need more support you can layer them and wear 2. No one can tell the difference and they are soooo comfortable .

I don't find bras uncomfortable, quite the opposite, I feel uncomfortable without one. I wear one even at night, as advised by the midwife who led my ante-natal class nearly 40 years ago! They're usually underwired as well.

As I walk in the front door from work I am removing all my clothes, including the bra. Leggings and a baggy top. Unattractive I know, but sooooo comfortable.

I only wear a bra if I go out. I have released my inner hippy/Charlie Dimmock at home and no longer wear a bra under my t shirt. They seem so restrictive and uncomfortable of late.

I do keep a cardigan hanging in the hall in case of callers., and for reasons of decency. The old 'chapel hat-pegs' still tend to have a mind of their own and poke out at inconvenient moments unfortunately.

32E/F here, so sleep bras are no good as they just shove it all into a 'monoboob'. Mostly I'm comfortable, but sitting down in the evening the band round the bottom can start to dig in - why do they make them so narrow??
When I first started wearing a bra I kept trying to breathe in so that the bottom of it would drop down round my waist where it would be comfortable.
It makes me wonder why anyone would want to undergo male to female gender reassignment (I know someone who has) when they would have to strap themselves up in a bra.

My bra's coming off any minute now!!

I'm a take it off asap! Have been for most of my life - my breasts have changed loads during my lifetime from medium to large to small then miniscule! nowadays I wear the ones in between sleep wear and sports wear as the norm and only don the wired ones for short periods when dress/situation required - then get it off asap!!!! Am so much more comfortable being without them. Always have been, so not an "age thing" for me.

I wear a sports bra all the time. (I get sports bras that are comfortable and not too tight.) I sleep in them as they are so comfortable.

ReadyMeals I have that too. As littleannie says its probably costochondritis although I do have fibromyalgia too. A paun relieving gel or cold compress might help. I also found a really comfy front closing bra (its actually a post surgery bra! )

It’s weird, when I’m out and about, don’t notice the bra. But as soon as I’m home, it has to come off! But I’m the same with shoes these days. Only comfy boots make me happy.

Since moving to non-wired bras, I no longer feel the need to take it off when returning home from work. The wired versions have all been thrown away!

Yes about 7pm here .If in for the evening obviously!For my frame I have quite big boobs and have not gone without a bra in the daytime since I was a teenager. But once I got the sofa and am off duty for the day all of a sudden I can't stand wearing the thing.I have my' slouchy' outfit or get in PJs.Not glamorous but very comfy.

I enjoy taking mine off at bedtime.

Just got home, it’s already off!

Usually stays on until bedtime depending on the bra. Some are less comfortable than others. There have been times I found a bra so unbearable, I couldn't wait to get home just to take it off.

I once had a co worker who made most of us cringe by boasting she even slept with it on to keep her breasts from sagging as she got older.

phoenix Your bottom/knee comment had me in stitches so much so I laughed out loud then had to read it out to DH who found it equally hilarious!!

So glad I am not the only one to abandon my bra in the evening. Just feel uncomfortable wearing one. But happy to do so all day even if staying home.

I'm the opposite here, uncomfortable when not wearing a bra even though I'm not hugely endowed. Gossard for me, usually check out their sales lines online.

I don't wear anything in bed so no pj's but the comfy joggers come out as soon as I get home.

I am not doing very well today. I posted my comment to Readymeals before I had finished it! And I don't know what happened to the bold printing. I was going to say, you will find a lot of information about costochondritis if you Google it.
Daffydilly, try Canesten cream on your raw patch under your breast, it helps. Then a smear of zinc and caster oil cream (the same stuff you use on babies' bottoms), every night will stop it coming back.
I sound like a doctor!!

Stays on until I go to bed even though I change into pjs when home from work.
