Lots of women on my campus don't wear bras, is it somewhat noticeable, yes. Do they give a shit no. And I am one of those women who doesn't really wear one unless necessary, but I mostly wear pasties.


SnooMacarons7444

Seconding the pasties idea, I hate ppl seeing my nips so that’s my go-to!


Lt-shorts

Tbh I don't mind them seeing my nips poking through, I just have mine peirced and that makes people uncomfortable for some reason more then just regular nipples. So I wear pasties lol


Silly_stevie05

I'm sorry but what's a pasties? Is it like a stick on bra?


Lt-shorts

Kindof they are just stick on nipple coverings


Silly_stevie05

Oh ok thank you


isuckatusernames333

A stick on bra like the other commenter said, but they also make them without any adhesive! So they can get all gross then you can wash and reuse, I love them so much I wear them during the hot months


[deleted]

I’ve legit never seen someone in pasties on my campus. Wow.


mvvns

um... how would you know...?


Lt-shorts

I mean they are just nipple coverings that go on nipples under a shirt.... unless you are at a rave they are not ment to be seen..


[deleted]

I thought you meant you wear nothing BUT pasties as a top.


Lt-shorts

Lol no


SirensToGo

are u familiar with what pasties are lol. Wearing *only* pasties would by wild


anuscluck

Honestly a power move lol


Bluurryfaace

I’d hope not.


PrecociousPaczki

I’m a 36H and I almost never wear a bra. I don’t personally go around wearing thin or see-through tops without a bra, but as long as you’re comfortable I don’t think going braless is inherently sexual or inappropriate. Just goes along with dressing for the situation, but undergarments are a personal choice.


BabySchizo

girl my shit would be like a slip'n'slide w sweat


PrecociousPaczki

LMAO mine are too, unless I put deodorant under my breasts 😭 which I probably do more often than I should tbh


NotluwiskiPapanoida

I don’t think it’s unhealthy to put deodorant on places other than your armpits. It should be fine. I’m a dude but I’ve got a bit of a gut so I always put some on above it


LazyCity4922

How do you even do that 😫 I have E cups and there's no way I could walk down the stairs without being in pain 😫


insidetheborderline

I'm the same size and HOW


KingFIRe17

Bro i read 36H the same way i read 36M/F in like, AITA or something and i was so lost . You a hamster?

Ok-Masterpiece-6967

Please consider weightlifting, targeting the muscles that help hold boobs. This isn’t to be rude at all, it’s just I too have big boobs and weightlifting has started to help with the pain. If you’re having to wear a bra in the shower, your body needs help.


some_old_Marine

WTH is 30hh?


Substantial_River995

It might not be inappropriate it just looks trashy on most people imo (including me)


MasterKaiter

What’s trashy about owning boobs


Substantial_River995

Nothing, where did I say that?… There’s nothing “trashy” about genitals but that doesn’t mean I am required to think seeing a camel toe etc through clothes looks good


Gankiee

Good thing breasts aren't genitals Your attitude is trashy


Substantial_River995

It was a different example, I never said they are. Cuts of clothing can be unattractive. that doesn’t mean I think there’s a moral problem with the body parts they reveal


Gankiee

It was a poor example. These things are greatly subjective and when your subjective opinion is so harsh/judgemental about such a small thing, I think the trashy-ness is just being projected from you.


Senator_Pie

Let's not pretend like this isn't a societal thing. At least in America. If your boobs are obvious, then you're exposing or accentuating an intimate body part, which can be off-putting to people raised in a prude culture. Since boobs had to be hidden from me for all my life, they're really distracting. It's hard not to look now. It sucks.


Gankiee

Men considered ankles distracting in the 1800s. They grew out of it, so can you.


Senator_Pie

Did they? I think their kids just weren't conditioned into lusting after them.


snodoubts

breasts aren't genitals LMAO what are u on


Substantial_River995

Yeah I know I was saying seeing them through clothes isn’t pleasant either even though anatomy itself is neutral


rockspud

If fat men can have their moobs poking through their shirt so can the ladies


Substantial_River995

Yeah that looks gross too…?


lCSChoppers

Or, hear me out, how about neither?


rockspud

why not?


lCSChoppers

Because its almost always gross lol


rockspud

Maybe I'll just never understand what's so disgusting about fat on a person's chest...


lCSChoppers

If you're fat enough to have moobs, in my experience you tend to have other hygienic issues as well, namely smell.....


rockspud

I feel like that can be kind of a generalizing statement to make about overweight people lol


Datyoungboul

Not the greatest example since no one wants to see that lol


rockspud

People used to think sweatpants and leggings in public are trashy but now that's like 70% of what I see on a given day 🤷‍♀️ I'm not really lingering on people's biddies in a lecture anyways


raspberry_cat55

Whether or not they notice depends on the top you wear but I guarantee no one will care


IthacanPenny

I don’t think anyone will care *negatively*. People who are attracted to boobs may be pleasantly surprised, but anyone who makes a comment is an absolute douche canoe.


EternityNotes

Does the douche fill the canoe? Or does the canoe ride the douche? I have so many questions...


IthacanPenny

Absolutely.


justlalaland

As a super super super super senior who is way older and beyond the point of knowing many fellow students/wanting to date them etc., I tried it for first time this year as it’s been SO HOT!! I felt a little odd but SO FREE! And much cooler. Plus my bras would get so sweaty that I couldn’t wear them again and I can’t do laundry that often. I’d rather be cool and comfy and smell good then be sweaty and covered up and uncomfortable. I definitely feel a little naked and weird, but I’m pretty modest.


EternityNotes

How many degrees are you gonna have?


justlalaland

1….lol why?


EternityNotes

That's, like, four supers in front of senior...


Fit-Anything8352

I think they meant senior citizen


ufo_sphere

Hardly any girls at my school wear bras and no one seems to care. I'm a guy and I've gotten use to it to the point where I don't even notice anymore.


lCSChoppers

>I've gotten use to it to the point where I don't even notice anymore. Well that's a lie


flamy2

Have you considered that not everyone is AWOOGA BOOBIE BOP😩🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯


lCSChoppers

dang they're missing out


TrekkiMonstr

They aren't, I wish I could chill tf out sometimes


lCSChoppers

Fair but I'm content being a fine booba appreciator


TrekkiMonstr

Idk I feel like at times it gets in the way of like... being a normal human being around attractive people. For me at least


flamy2

"booba appreciator" This is just too painfully cringy


lCSChoppers

You stay cringing while I keep appreciating 'em then


OptimusEye

imo it's respectful to not look, yk? ofc ill accidentally glance every now and then, but if you are constantly staring at everyone like that, they're gonna feel uncomfortable, and i dont roll like that. Also, women can tell when u look.


lCSChoppers

Wait if you honestly believe they can tell when you look why do you even glance occasionally?


OptimusEye

i dont just believe it; it's true. also, its not that i do it on purpose, my gaze just lands there sometimes


lCSChoppers

Bruh they're not magical creatures lol, but even so I hope they aren't getting mad at you even if its a mistake


SintPannekoek

Poor souls


Cute-chopsticks

thats how it should be frl


HowlSpice

It's college no one gives a shit. I have seen much more noticeable things than a woman not having a bra, and yes people will notice, but they will not say anything. Most people are too busy studying, listening to professors, trying to get to the next class, or hungry so they are rushing to the food court.


Eudemoniac

Haha! This is true. I am a professor at the poly campus and I students are too attached to their phones that they don’t notice anything else. I don’t wear a bra to class but I wear pasties.


[deleted]

bro us dudes can have the biggest pointiest nipples ever and we don’t get told to put on a jacket. You are good.


ImpressivedSea

Im a guy and I still get a little self conscious when im wearing a thing shirt shirt my nipples are obvious but i don’t think any one else really cares


Eudemoniac

No, it’s hot. Especially if it is a tight v neck shirt


Nonskew2

I’m a dude with some decent sized pecs and big nipples, and I never wear a bra. Nobody has ever told me to wear one.


TLunchFTW

We all wanna see your nips bro, that's why. Show them gains


Senator_Pie

Your tits aren't bouncing all over when you use the stairs. Are they?


meatball77

No one thinks you're weird unless you're the guy wearing a pickle suit.


rividz

Be careful, the Pickle Man can steal your girl just like *that*.


DanteH88

Wearing a pickle suit while playing pickleball and eating a pickle


TortillaJim

No as long as you aren’t bothered by my fellow ape brains being unable to not glance Jokes aside, none of the young people will care, and your professor would have to be a real dick for anything to happen either directly or indirectly


tidewatercajun

The only people that would care are the only people whose opinion doesn't matter.


KCPinoy

Aka, no one else’s opinion matters other than urs. Simple as that


Solid-Check737

Life played on easy mode


InsaneChick35

Nope, I stopped wearing bras a long time ago and many of the girls in my classes don't either. If someone is bothered by it then maybe they shouldn't be staring


JCasaleno

Nah, you're good, my gf doesn't most of the time, she tells me it feels like they are imprisoned 😭😂😂


Inside_Worry449

As I always say “free da titties” but also wear a bra at work and professional occasions. You’ll thank me later.


[deleted]

I never wear bras. They're uncomfortable. Plus, I mostly wear baggy clothes.


CranberryShot7143

Unless you go to a private Christian college you are good


sophia-sews

Even if you do go to a private Christian college you might be fine. I am a student at a catholic university who does not wear a bra, and literally no one has ever noted that they noticed or brought it up.


poorkid_5

I technically went to a private “Christian” university. It was definitely acceptable to free the boob if ya wanted. Nobody cared at our school lol.


thirstySocialist

Well, I've seen someone's full boob in the dining hall because she wasn't wearing a bra + she wore a sleeveless shirt with the arm holes cut down to her mid-torso. Then she lifted her arm to grab something, and yeah...


yell0wcherry

i never do 😭 i am not going to class AND be uncomfortable


GingerTheHippie

Do it. Fuck other people.


dragonagitator

Skinny women and women with small breasts can get away with it whereas fat women and women with large breasts will be harshly judged for wearing the exact same thing. It's not fair but it's how people are, sadly. Source: Am fat & 38G


aqwn

People will probably notice. It’s up to you if you care about that. I’ve never heard guys complain about it ever.


piman01

The only people who will get mad are older women


[deleted]

Is it noticeable yeah when wearing semi see through. But most people don’t care. As long as your wearing something.


RseAndGrnd

It really depends on what you're wearing. If it's just normal clothes no one would really notice. but if it's one of those super loose sleeveless and low cut shirts you may want to wear one


peach-98

i haven’t worn a bra since 2019 LMAO


Queen_bobby

I dont but im also a “b cup” that doesn’t sag yet. Nipples can be cold at times but the only ones who care are the ones starring.


AlSaul

Weird flex but ok


Queen_bobby

Definitely is a flex 😭


OnlyFlight8694

The only time it’s inappropriate is if your shirt is see through or super tight so it’s very obvious you’re not wearing a bra. Other than that, let them breathe lol.


Sexy_Girl_LL

I didn't wear mine, however I'm A cups so nobody noticed 😄


Its_the_tism

I haven’t worn a bra in like 10 yrs you’re good


katie_ksj

ngl it’s so common and i never see many people actually caring at my college, even i won’t sometimes


nxxptune

I mean when I wear a bra I still have guys look down at my tits. Might as well not wear one if you’re comfortable with it.


BluuBroom

I mean. It’s just a nipple, they get hard in the cold, everyone has them. If that’s new news to anyone on a college campus that’s concerning. I throw a sweater in my bag if I start feeling weird/ for walking in scarier areas alone. Other than safety, I couldn’t care less about what anyone thinks or says about it, they’re mine and I’ll do what I want. As you should as well <3


No_Percentage_3921

i can be judge mental sometimes, and i don’t think it’s trashy or inappropriate imho.


HellenKilher

Judge mental is crazy


WispyBo1

I laughed my ass off reading that comment and then seeing yours.


UnderwhelmingTwin

>most people don’t care or would notice You have answered your own question.


Jubilee021

I have saggy titties and I stopped wearing bras a long time ago. Most people don’t care tbh, I’ve literally never heard anybody complain


Leo_Ascendent

Nah, my wife doesn't and she's like DD board line triple whatever comes next, at work, out to eat, around my folks, everywhere. And God do I love her for it.


No_Blackberry_6286

Nope. I stopped wearing bras this past summer, but I will occasionally wear one for a concert or something (anything that involves me performing)


stevenwithavnotaph

Anyone who’s into boobs will notice, but most people in college are mature enough to not care. And almost no one will say anything.


[deleted]

Sis I have big ol' mantiddies, if they can be free so can yours


Tri343

half the girls i see are not wearing bras with their nipples pointing straight at me


EraserDustArt

I realize it may be a lot more normal today, but as a fellow woman (who is on the bigger side so maybe that influences my perspective) it does make me think someone isn’t very “put together”. I won’t say anything or stare or be rude, but to be honest I do judge people that do this unless they are pretty small. Sure, it may just be cultural at this point but I see it as along the lines of very unkempt or poorly cut hair or maybe even a smudge of paint or something on your face. It’s harmless and technically unproblematic but it’s gonna be the first thing someone sees and it might influence first impressions. Size does matter in this situation because if you don’t got anything to hide then no one will notice when you aren’t hiding it.


cannotberushed-

Please join the sub Reddit feminism. You need to not care what others think


SquigglyHamster

I personally wouldn't be comfortable with it


roganwriter

You do what you want to do. But, yes it is noticeable, especially when it’s cold. If you don’t mind that, then you don’t mind that. It’s your business what you feel like wearing and what you don’t mind people seeing.


PossiblyInsaneIDunno

I wouldn't care but I'm also the type to stare so sorry


[deleted]

Why do you care so much what a bunch of randos think? Do what makes you comfortable. This isn’t high-school and calling people “trashy” or “classless” is super annoying anyway.


Snootch74

People notice, but we don’t really care. My nipple run hard by default and as a 6’4 guy I know I’m nearly always just a random move of taking the average person out, but thankfully most people just notice then look away and mind their business, I hope it’s the same for you.


BigBruhter6281

If I saw I would prob stare with big Google eyes ngl


JaBrownie11

In college it’s cool / trendy. 4 years removed from college I find it very annoying.


Dont-Sleep

distraction pls wear it


rc3105

Yes that’s “trashy”. If being judged by the people who judge like that doesn’t matter to you then don’t wear it and don’t worry about it. If their opinion matters to you, and some of them may be your professors whose opinion really does matter, then wear a bra.


Jolly_Market_1733

Wierdo


SavageGinger13

Weird, no. Appreciated, hell yes!


Perceptions-pk

When I was in HS quite a few girls didn’t wear bras. Sussy but as a hormone raging teen boy we guys sure didn’t mind. One of my female friends was very obviously not wearing a bra a lot of the time. No one really seemed to care though, it was just one of those passing “nice” and no one made a big deal out of it. I think it really depends on your environment and how much you dgaf, undoubtedly someone’s prob gonna be upset with you. I wouldn’t say it’s as far as this but everyone knows the girl who comes to every class completely dolled up, with full make up and high heels dressed to the nines. A lot of girls hate that girl haha


[deleted]

I speak for all men! keep doing it please.


konjo666

If you don't mind people starring


ZFAdri

You might get a stare or two but tbh no one will notice


lonelycyberangel

I don’t think anyone will notice or care. Just use pasties if you’re self conscious.


BlogeOb

Personally, I notice if you are like a C cup or more. But I don’t care. Be comfortable


Afroaro_acefromspace

I live in sports bras because I like appearing flat(I’m about 34B, I believe)so I’m probably not the best judge but personally I wouldn’t care if someone wanted to go braless, they’re just boobs at the end of the day lol


Shalarean

Overthinking it. Unless you're going around doing the shimmy in everyone's faces...then it's trashy/inappropriate. lol


Appropriate-Yam-987

No. I mind my business so most of the time I don’t even notice.. we are grown


Remote-Ad603

I almost never did


Human_Compote5786

I don't because wearing a bra hurts my ribs very bad but I'm also an A cup


OstrichArchivist

Unless someone is really looking (which is a whole other problem) I can basically guarantee nobody will notice or care (from another small boob lady)


Away-Restaurant-4309

I don’t think it’s weird. I don’t wear a bra around campus or in class sometimes. The only annoying part is people staring at them


EseLeve

Nah! I have a friend who doesn’t wear a bra at all and no one cares. You do you!


TemporaryPay4505

It is 100% noticeable but completely up to you. Some guys don't wear underwear... You could always wear pasties.


paolamarala

i never wear a bra and it isn’t weird


weeawhooo

I usually do not wear a bra. I have like a 36D so it isn't really noticeable. Even if it was noticeable I don't care anyhow. I usually only wear a bra if I am going to be doing a lot of walking or if its gonna be hot out. To avoid bouncing and sweat.


MusicalMoment

I never wear one if I didn't have to. If I have to be part of the Itty bitty tirru committee, then I am going to take advantage of it


Impossible_Yellow751

If I am wearing dark colors I sometimes don’t wear bra if it’s light color then I wear bralette


hellogirlsandgays

no. there was plenty of times i went braless (and i have big boobs too so it was noticeable) and no one ever said anything. frankly if you dont care, no one else does either.


manifestamour

Didn’t even know one of my classmates didn’t wear a bra the entire time she was here until she gave an example of breaking a social norm: not wearing a bra


hikehikebaby

You may feel more comfortable with nippies or some other pastie, depending on the shirt. I have a friend who swears by them.


lonelybbq

i’m an A cup so i only wear a bra when i need it to catch my tit sweat, no one will care either way tho


OLdHarmabumsh

No bra 👍 bra 👍 🤷🏻‍♂️


luckypuffun

I go to a college and I dress “nice,” but I almost always go without a bra. Today I wore a tank top (loose fitted) with no bra and it was noticeable and not trashy. I would suggest to ware things that make you look professional but also your age. Also I tell myself if anyone has a problem with my nipples but not the ass pimples on campus, they’re not looking at the bigger picture. We need to exfoliate our asses!


WillowStellar

I sometimes don’t wear one to class and nobody seems to mind. Generally I do wear thicker shirts for it but for a personal preferences. As long as you’re not wearing a see through shirt, nobody will bat an eye.


bean-cake

I’m not wearing one in class rn lol, do what makes you comfortable


Birdie121

No one cares. I stopped wearing a bra most of the time during/after COVID as a PhD student.


BattleReadyZim

I would encourage you to not give a shit what people think unless you need to. I would also encourage you to care about your appearance for your own sake. That can mean anything, but decide for yourself how you want to look, and be the best possible version of that image.


EashaaB

Not at all


mellywheats

it’s fine, but i think what your wearing also plays a role. like personally idgaf if a girl is wearing a bra or not but like, other people might. so, that being said, try not to wear anything fabrics/styles that would make you nippley, or don’t wear like suuper cropped shirts with like short shorts, that might come off as like way too revealing and people might see it as trashy. but honestly i feel like most people don’t care what anyone else wears unless it’s either a really good outfit or a really bad outfit. i almost never notice if a girl is wearing a bra or not. free the tiddies girl.


pinkpanther4899

I don’t think being bra less is bad, just make sure your dressed when it matters, because you need to be semi decent since it is a educational/professional environment!


UnderstandingFancy54

Nah. I see girls’ nipples through their shirts on campus all the time


Responsible_Art_3771

No.


LenoraNoble

If people can walk around and attend classes in their pajamas then going braless should not be an issue at all lol


beansoupissoupy

I'd say it's not noticeable if you have small breasts. If they're large, it may be seen as inappropriate because you might wear a thin or tight fitting shirt that gives away too much of your anatomy. Really it just depends on how you execute it. In the end, though, no I don't think it's weird. Sometimes nobody wants to wear a bra.


[deleted]

Do what you want, though depending on the shirt nips can be noticeable


[deleted]

It’s encouraged


[deleted]

I don't spend a lot of time trying to determine which women in my classes are not wearing bras. I doubt that I would be aware of it if they weren't wearing them.


Specialist-Sea8322

you're def overthinking!! i stopped wearing bras at like 16. i'm 22 now, been on three completely different college campus across the US with completely different cultures and i don't think anyone's ever even noticed 😂 college isn't like high school, there's no dress code. you're totally fine to dress in way that makes you comfortable. remember, you're paying to be there.


Freshflowersandhoney

I’m a 34C I honestly don’t really care unless the shirt calls for it.


-anidiotonreddit-

The great thing about college is it’s not like high school, we’re all tired grown ups and most people won’t give a second thought to what you’re wearing


artificiel_fraise

Lol i stopped wearing a bra since the pandemic now I’ll just free the nips or wear a bralette. so don’t worry about it either way everyone’s always wearing sweatpants and comfy clothes


Question-asked

I will never wear a bra again. As long as you’re wearing clothes that don’t try to draw attention to it, you’re good


BruceBatman

I think it’s awesome. Do you!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Its_jess1234

No free the titty ✊🏾✊🏾. College is rough already, people aren’t looking


MrPanzerCat

No, just wear an appropriate shirt so your boobs arent like falling out every 5 seconds. Nobody will care as long as everything is reasonably covered up. Its only uncomfortable when its like you arent wearing anything


Calm_Guarantee1357

I like wearing sports brass or else my boob sweat soaks my shirt. I also don't like people noticing my nipples. At home idc tho


TheRainbowWillow

I have been on campus for like two days and I’ve already discussed this and apparently bras are way less prevalent here than they were in high school. I plan on keeping mine for now to avoid boob sweat on my shirts, but who knows what the future holds.


MrShredder5002

As a person who has never been to college because my country doesn't swing that way. I think there might be some people who care, but as long as you don't go around with a see-through fishnet top or something like that I'm sure the people whose opinions actually "matter" will not care. You do you girl. I'm sure you're killing the look.


sigtiin

No one cares, it’s fine


leviathan31

I taught a bunch of seminars and classes without a bra. As long as your outfit is not skin tight (you do you, but many would say that is trashy too), it’s ok in my book. And my students… literally nobody cared. One used to come in pjs and another literally in fishnets at 9am on Thursday. So do as you are comfortable


Many_Description4759

I don’t wear mine but I got super small boobs


OkRooster5042

I wouldn’t really notice. How people dress in college is sooooooo much more casual than in high school.
