OK ladies, we all know it's true—bras absolutely suck. Sometimes I just want to find the person who invented them and slap them for making it socially unacceptable to not wear one. If you're a girl who is well endowed, or not, then you probably feel my pain. And guys, you probably do too. For other reasons.
1. They are uncomfortable.
Wearing an actual bra is probably one of the worst things, ever. If you barely have any boobs, then you can probably get away without wearing one. But if you have big boobs, no way. You have to wear one because otherwise you get weird looks like you just committed a crime. Bras suck, and our boobs deserve freedom!
2. They are way too constricting.
I'm pretty sure when God made us, he did not intend for our boobs to be kept in these hot cauldrons we like to call bras. Who honestly wants to walk around all day feeling like they are wearing a corset strictly on their boobs? Not I. From the straps, to the cups to the band—it is all too constricting.
3. They are hot.
If it's hot out, then forget it—your boobs are going to sweat and it is just all downhill from there. They trap pretty much every ounce of heat in your body and just hold it there. Good news is if your hands are ever freezing, you always have a good place to warm them up.
4. If the underwire comes out, you are doomed.
One wrong move or wash, and it's over. The underwire pokes out, and it is literally a living hell when you wear that bra. So much for that bra, because it is now officially useless.
5. They are expensive.
Want a cute bra that has good support and is made well? Get ready to drop and arm and a leg and sell your unborn child to purchase one. OK, I'm probably being a tad bit dramatic, but you get the point. For something that is supposed to be so necessary and important, they sure are expensive.
6. They can be itchy.
I don't know about you all, but sometimes your bra feels like someone threw some itching powder in there. Who wants to walk around all day or sit in class and constantly have the urge to itch their boobs? Not only is it annoying, but others look at you like you belong in a zoo.
7. They can sometimes be a real pain to take off.
This one is for the boys. Especially since us girls have pretty much become pros at the two-second, one-handed removal. But we all have our days when the bra just doesn't want to be our friend and takes forever to hook or unhook.
8. The supportive ones are not always the cutest.
It seems as though the bigger your boobs are, the more money you have to pay to conceal them. This often means that you probably aren't going to be getting a super sexy bra with lace and rhinestones on it. It sucks, but we've got to face the facts that having big boobs is indeed a blessing and a curse.
If you weren't convinced before, maybe now you are. Jump on the bandwagon of bralettes and flower petals, because they will save your life. You will feel as free as a bird and it is truly amazing. Save the ta-ta's and let 'em loose.
