I drive home!"
But then you don't, because you might get pulled over. (Not because you're braless, but for some other reason, and then the officer would lean in and do a double take, and be all, "Ma'am, you need to tether those puppies when you climb behind the wheel..." )
Feel free to fill in the blank when the officer leans in: "Ma'am.....___________"

My puppies are such a size that they don't need to be tethered. The officer would be writing my ticket without giving me a second glance.

I had the bra I'm wearing in the "throw away" pile, but then retrieved it because it LOOKS ok. Now I remember why I was ready to trash it!

On a parenting message board I was on when I was pregnant last time, there were a few people who used a hands free pumping bra to pump while they commuted. One of them was pulled over while hooked up to the breast pump. Umm...how do you explain that one.

I was in a wedding with the most horribly uncomfortable bridesmaid dress. So many stays across the bodice in all the wrong places. I tolerated it all that morning for pictures but an hour before ceremony, I couldn't stand it and yanked my husband into a coat closet where I had him use his pocket knife to make inserts under my arms so I could pull out the stays. It wasn't visible and sure felt a whole lot better.

Most of my bras fasten in the front. I have unsnapped it on my way home. Technically I am still wearing it!

There is currently a bra in the back seat of my car which I took off while driving home from Austin on Halloween night. I need to retrieve it and put in the wash. Let the police pull me over. Virginia DGAF.

I haven't lately, but removing my bra is right up there with getting to the bathroom within 10 seconds of entering the house. I used to be able to remove a bra mid pee, and then toss it into the laundry area before going upstairs to get into comfy clothing. That has now changed for two reasons.
For one thing, I don't work any longer, so there is very little 10+ hours of wearing a painful bra. And two, I now have a male boarder. I am super careful regarding modesty while he is living here because I NEVER want him to get any ideas that he will be anything other than a renter with me. I have acquired half a dozen robes of varying thicknesses, and I purchased some really comfortable bras that don't have an underwire for wearing around the house.
I believe, Virginia, you called them "Sweatpants for your tits" during the discussion of this particular no-wire bra. While I wouldn't have given it any consideration before, that was exactly what I wanted for around the house now. I never leave my bedroom without one of the sweatpant bras on now. Not even when in a robe.
My puppies are DD with all this weight my medication had added to my body, and although they are still pretty respectable as far as floppage goes, I can't control the nips and want as much between them and the roommate's eyes as possible.
I had a male boarder cross the line once years ago and I ended up having to kick him out. I'm very vigilant about removing any questionable acts or attire on my part now. But I really need the rent money now that I can't work, so my aim is to keep him here until I get closer to selling the house and downsizing into something I can support on my own.
Back to the drive home from work question, I have never worked farther than 20 minutes from my house, with the majority of the drive being on the freeway with no possibility of removing my bra without crashing, so it was never a temptation.

It's not the bra I want to yank off at the end of the day, it's the shoes. Almost any shoes. I can't stand for my clodhoppers to be confined.

I often taken off my bra in the car before the ride home. I can unhook it with one hand, pull it out thru my sleeves and relief!!! Don't wear one at home and yes, it is the proper size.

I usually take mine off as soon as I get home from Walmart. Yesterday I did that then realized I needed to go to the bank and CVS. Since I wouldn't be getting out of my car I took care of those 2 errands in complete comfort.

I don't need to be tethered, not big enough to worry! I mostly wear a bra to give me the right shape and lift, but I doubt a cop would notice if I wasn't wearing one unless I was in a tank top.
I took off my bra at work once when an underwire came loose and started viciously poking me. I am pretty sure no one noticed I was freeboobing under my scrubs, lol

sharlag I love your questions. And while it's probably varies by state, everywhere I've lived it was illegal to drive without shoes on. Frankly, that hasn't stopped me a time or two, as the sandles getting hooked on the pedals seemed the greater risk to me. As for what the cop would say, I don't want to know. I'd be horrified on so many levels, the bralessness would only be the beginning. Am the only one who worries about having to run out of the house because of natural disaster or emergency only to be braless? I know it's silly, but if there's a chance I'm gonna interact with emergency personnel, my neighbors, or end up on the news, I need the girls to behave. compwalla And yes, someone spill the beans on the comfy bra. Inquiring boobs and all that...

I can't wait to get my bra off and into my jammies when I get home. There has been a time or two when I've take my bra off at school (I am a first grade teacher) when I am working late.
Once during school my underwire came out and was poking the heck out of me. It was also the day of parent/teacher conferences so I was going to be at school late. I took a pencil eraser (the colorful ones that you can put on the end of your pencils) and put it on the end of the wire. Immediate relief!

I have to say that was one of the "good" things about having breast cancer. I HATED wearing bras. Been bra free for about 27 years now and I LOVE IT! And the thing is, I never ever ever need to wear one. They are always and forever perky.

Wearing a bra generally doesn't bother me, unless I'm sweating a lot. It probably has a lot to do with the fact that I'm small. I'm much more concerned with getting into pajamas when I get home, and I admit that I will often put on a soft sports bra with my pjs. It's comfortable and is an extra layer of warmth.
With that said, I've gone out many times without a bra (to the store, driving kids to school, etc.) I will have on a sweatshirt or hoodie if I do this. No one would be the wiser.

I was almost a B cup when I got my first bra at 11... my mom had this idea I had to be a certain age to need a bra. I was so uncomfortable and embarrassed. I have large breasts and tiny headlights, so it wasn't very obvious when I wore thicker shirts. I was a C cup in high school and then a D cup in college. I had a lot of front closure and corset type longline bras because they gave me more support. Having large breasts was a nightmare at the Christian university I attended because the men blame their "impure thoughts" on what women wear. I had to show the dean of women my body suit underneath my button up shirt because some moronic guy complained that my undershirt looked like "underwear" The dean of women did roll her eyes because the undershirt was higher than required and looked like a regular t shirt--it was just easier because there was no hem or bulk under my skirt I had a front closure bra pop open during a class so I got up and went to the restroom. The professor was already mad because everyone was yawning and zoning out. It was a 70+ degree day in late November in a room with the heat going full blast and large South facing windows that didn't open. I come back to him screaming at us, calling us every euphemism in the book because we were too dumb to grasp French grammar and were yawning. The professor was more concerned about making dumb puns and lame jokes in French (getting upset when we didn't get the punchline, thinking it was because we didn't understand the French--we understood, it was just so lame) My dh was outside the classroom because his class got out early--because it was so hot the teacher took pity on them. Dh told his dad who was on faculty and was next door neighbors with the dean of the school. Then I got in more trouble with the professor for "tattling". Dh was with me when I had that private meeting, and his dad had asked if there was any more trouble. The dean had me and the professor come to his office where he ripped the professor a new one and made him apologise. I was very angry that the professor had gotten so upset because the poor girl who was yawning the most and got the brunt of the abuse was a struggling student who worked two on campus jobs to pay for her tuition and only got 4 hours of sleep a night. The experiences at school have made me super aware of cleavage and showing my breasts. I know it's not my fault that men can't keep their eyes in their own heads, but I hate the attention. I've had men follow me around stores making no attempt to keep their eyes in their heads or their jaws off the floor. I've had guys rub up against me--one got a fork in the testicle and another got the handle of a foosball table. I also have swelling in my abdomen that makes me look like I have a huge muffin top, so I wear stretchy camisoles with lycra under my thin cotton tops and scoop neck tees. --When I wear high necked crew tees, I look like I stuffed huge cantalopes in my shirt. At home I wear tank tops and pj pants. Sometimes I wear the "sweatshirt" bras for support when my upper back and neck hurt. Mine are the soft no underwire bras "as seen on TV"--I think they're called "gypsy" bras? My real bras look like the metal "bra" that you see on women singing Wagner opera arias. I throw them off as soon as I get in the door of my house. I get my bras at Nordstrom because the women there are the best fitters. They also know which bras are the most popular and have the most support while still being pretty. I have a nude bra by Mystere that I love although it feels like the metal armour "bra" and a nude cup with black lace Wacoal bra that is really soft and comfortable for an underwire. All my bras are underwire because of the extra support. I did buy a thick cotton hoodie sweatshirt lined in fleece from Beaufort, NC, that has BEAUFORT in large letters across it. I love it and throw that on over my tank tops when I have to go outside at night to run to the pharmacy or get fast food or go to the ER. It's so large and loose you can't see my boobs at all. I wear that at Christmas a lot, but my FIL hates it because there's nothing to stare at then.... The other day I really hurt my boobs. Since dh has had his chronic nerve pain and low testosterone, our love life has hit a few snags. We flirt a lot, and he loves it when I flash him. Dh was working in his home office, and I walked by him and flashed him. He didn't see me at first because he was concentrating, so I decided to jump up and down. The momentum of my double Ds going up and coming back down pulled down on my upper chest and shoulders and almost caused a dislocation of my collar bones... Finding a swimsuit that I can actually swim in is almost impossible. The form fitted cups are the least support I need, and if the top of the swimsuit doesn't come up to my throat, my boobs pop out when I try to swim laps... I'm afraid that I'll cause one of the dirty old men who sit in the whirlpool and watch the women swim to have a heart attack if he sees my boobs pop out. They already have their mouths open so low they almost drown just from seeing the pasty flabby legs and one piece suits from the women's water aerobics set. I found this Lingerie Addict's Best bras for full cup size and love how beautiful these bras are without sacrificing support. I hate Victoria's Secret because their bras don't work well and just remind me how difficult it is for me to find beautiful lingerie. I know nobody but dh and me see it, but I feel prettier with pretty underwear, and it makes dh happy to see my pretty underwear. I wear looser fitting hipsters and boyshorts, but I buy them in nude, black, and colours instead of boring white granny panties. Dh doesn't fuss about how much my pretty undies cost because he likes them so much.

One time, at GASC in Arlington, the front clasp on my bra broke and I had to buy a scrapbook embellishment with a pin in it to clip the thing back together.

I had no idea that it was illegal to drive without shoes. I wear flip flops most of the year, I always take oft my right one and put it in the driver's side door. I have had one get caught while driving and it isn't worth the risk for me. It isn't illegal. I think it's just "not recommended". Personally I never wear shoes when I drive unless it's snowy or rainy and I have boots on, or if I have my exercise shoes on. But I hate driving in those so I rarely go farther than my house to the gym (about half a mile, lol). Otherwise I always slip off my shoes to drive. Now about this "sweatshirt bra", please someone tell us what it is. I hate bras. Hate them. I rip mine off the second I get in the house.
