I’m an E cup, and I haven’t gone out in public without a bra in 18 years. So I wanted to see if anything bad would happen when I finally went without one.

I love bras, because making my boobs look good is one of the few things about my body that I feel I have a lot of control over. Besides: I am either a 40D or a 38E, depending on the bra and the time of month, so generally speaking, going braless isn't an option.
I haven't left the house without a bra since I was 13. So I decided to see if I could go a for week without wearing a bra. It was just as uncomfortable as I worried that it might be — but not for any of the reasons I thought. Here are the unexpected things that I learned.
Day 1: I learn how going braless in public makes me feel like I'm breaking some sort of law.

I get dressed for my first day ever in public without a bra. When I walk into the office, my overwhelming feeling is that being without a bra feels like getting into a car without a seat belt: careless, dangerous, and something I could get in trouble for if I got caught.
"I'm going braless this week," I feel compelled to announce to my group at work. It feels a little bit like I am confessing to a crime, and hoping that if I'm upfront about the bad thing I'm doing, the law will go easier on me.
Everyone shrugs in response, like this is no big deal. This actually sent me into a bit of a worry spiral — am I actually just this saggy all the time? I go into the bathroom to both evaluate my boob situation, and also to adjust myself because at some point one of my nipples got caught under my waistband.
