You're right. I mean it could be worse I guess. :confused:

I just..I dunno, it's just really, really strange to me. I think he really needs psychological help. Seriously. It's just not normal, ya know?

Hmm... well the thing is, who knows if the staff at a store I would try to get fitted/use the dressing rooms at would be as accepting and such as the staff you work with. They could be completely opposite... I think I will take it slow, but eventually I will get there.

No offense taken cheerfulgreek, you seem like a nice girl. I know that this is just part of letting people know that I wear a bra. There is always going to be some people who don't get it right away. But honestly, thanks for your input in this thread. I am glad you have helped keep it alive, since FINALLY talking about my bra hobby after 18 months of silence to myself is not only liberating but also very fun and positive. It's been nothing short of spectacular. Talking about bras is just as fun as wearing them in my opinion :)

o.k. I think you're a very positive person, because you don't get defensive which is the norm on this site:rolleyes: but did you ever get worried when you first started wanting to wear them? I mean for example, if I all of a sudden wanted to start wearing a jock strap, I would get really worried and I would think something was psychologically wrong with me. I would try and get help to see what the problem was. Do you see what I mean? You never ever thought that you could be gay? I mean never ever?

Well at first I would just wear them in private at home. But that got old and I wanted more. I began to wear them when making a short trip to the store, or such. When I first started wearing bras to school, that was very tough. Yeah, I got worried. I would always walk by people and think "What if that person knew I had a bra on" and "This doesn't feel right... I'm a guy". But I liked wearing bras.

At first when I wore bras to school I would bail out before/in between class and take it off in the bathroom and throw it in my backpack. If I left it on in class, I would slope in my chair and make sure the chair's back covered all of my back, regardless of how many layers of clothes I had on. It was really uncomfortable and I would not move a muscle all class. I was that paranoid. Sure, psychologically stuff like that got to me at first, but then I knew that I was the only one who knew that I had a bra on, so I appeared normal and bra-less to everyone else. But my desire to wear a bra over rode any doubts and paranoia I had, and eventually I got more confident and comfortable wearing bras to school/everywhere that they became a part of my daily routine, I never bailed out and left the bra on all day. I gradually became more confident in wearing my bras. Wearing them in class and concealing it towards the end of the semester was hard once it got warmer(here in Texas it can get hot) but I happened to get by only being caught once by a random girl my age that I haven't seen since and it was a very positive experience.

Yes, at first I wondered if there was something wrong with me. I was a rather macho athletic guy who wore bras! But eventually, I knew that there wasn't, because its just a bra. AC Choppy put it best, its just a bra, and its not hurting anyone. It could be worse. On the plus side, wearing bras has helped make me more confident and self respectful of myself. Nothing negative has come out of this so far *knock on wood*

And no, the thought of me being gay has never crossed my mind, 100% honest. My family is very right wing conservative, and being gay is against my religion(I'm a Christian). It's nothing I would ever consider, I am proud to be heterosexual. I am very attracted to girls... have not once even been curious about guys. I would even say that wearing bras has made me even more heterosexual(if possible) than before.

But yeah, hope that answered your question. I could talk about this all day :)

lol :p
I'm laughing really hard about you trying to use the chair to hide the bra.

How did the girl catch you? What was her reaction?

So what is it about wearing the bra that you like?

And what KIND do you wear? If you're only an A cup you can get away with wearing cute lacy bras without the uncomfortable wires, so i'm amazed to hear you say that you actually wore a PUSH-UP BRA? I'm trying to imagine how you hid that under your clothes...

OMG! That's exactly what I was wondering. I asked that earlier, and he said he only wears it certain places.

Yeah... I did that for a while and my butt would fall asleep. Wasn't fun, finally I was just like screw it and sat in the desk chair normally.

How I got caught... I was wondering that myself. It was a shuttle bus that transports people around campus. It was about 65 degrees, windy. Me and about 5 others were on that bus. I had on a hoodie and an undershirt. Normally when wearing this hoodie the bra outline doesn't show on my back unless I bend over or do something like that to get the hoodie to press against my back. Even then, you have to be looking somewhat hard to see the bra outline.

If I remember correctly, I was in the front of the shuttle on the left side, and the girl who caught me was 2 rows back and on the right side. I was reading something for a quiz, and I turned to glance out the window for about a second or two. She must have been staring at me or my paper, because this is the only time I ever exposed my back on the shuttle. We got off at our stop, and I got off before she did and continued to walk while reading the study guide. She kind of "jogged" up to me, and smiled. Not a grin, but a smile. I didn't know who she was, but I asked "What?" smiling back and she said "I think thats great honestly" and I said "What's great" and she said softly so others around couldn't hear "Your bra" and she continued to smile. I just kind of laughed back, was too shocked to say anything. She wasn't a bad looking girl either.

She took a right turn on the sidewalk to her building, and I was confused wondering how she could have found out. I guess I got careless, but hey, it wasn't bad at all, and I am glad that it happened. Hopefully when I get caught again its like that and not bad in any way.

lol :p

I think I'm getting sleepy because whenever I laugh this hard, this is usually the case. ccutoff I'm not laughing at you, I'm just laughing at the whole bra thing that's all. Plus I'm really tired. I'm going to bed, but before I do, I just want to thank you for chatting and sharing your thoughts with me. You're a really sincere guy.

I still think you're gay though. JK:p

Hmm.. my collection. I have 6

I have 2 Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Seamless push up bras. One white one black. The white one I have is an older version(not Infinity Edge, doesn't have gold adjusters or dual straps all the way) but it looks the exact same apart from that. These are hands down my favorite bras, and its comfortable. I bought the white one as my first ever purchase at Victorias Secret in January 2006. I got the black one in November 2006 when the Infinity Edge line came to my notice.

Another bra I have is discontinued. It was in the Angels Collection simply known as the uplift bra. It's white. It has less padding than the push up but still has some. It's also softer since its made out of mostly satin. I got this one the day after my first one in January 2006 at the semi-annual sale. When I got caught wearing a bra by that girl, this was what I was wearing.

My least favorite bra is the Body by Victoria shaping demi bra. I read a lot of good things about this bra online, but I don't like it that much. It's too tight and restricting, the microfiber its made out of its too static prone and makes it even more tight on my skin. I wear it rarely, its probably going on eBay soon once I buy another. I got this one in May 2006.

I have a Secret Embrace bra. The ads are right, these bras are so comfortable and I can see why its voted the best bra in the world. My only gripe is the scalloped cups(don't like the look) but they are extremely comfortable. I like the secret embrace line. I got this in July 2006 at the semi-annual sale

Lastly I have an IPEX demi bra. These are weightless, honestly. I don't like it as much as my others because its so plain and simple, but its great to wear under little layers due to its lightweight design. The fabric is also smooth and soft, less cotton-y and static prone than the shaping demi I have. I got this at the semi-annual sale in January 2007.

I am probably going to buy one this week to replace my shaping demi.

I stick to a rotation with my bras. I try to wear them in order, but there are times where I wear one for a specific event.

Yeah, it can be hard to hide the push up bra under clothes, but for baseball we get these undershirts that are kind of like under armor that in a way compress. This allows me to wear just that undershirt and a t-shirt and not have any front projection. Without those shirts its a bit harder to conceal the front projection with my pushup bras, but its still doable. Though I know what it is, a normal person would just think its wrinkles in my shirt. I love my push up bras, they are my favorites, so I will wear them no matter what. These got a lot of wear time in the winter due to my layers.

My other bras are easy to hide under just a t-shirt and normal undershirt. The secret embrace and uplift bra aren't quite as comfortable as the push ups, though they are still comfortable. The problem with the uplift bra is that the straps are 100% satin, so they do a lot of slipping and sliding off my shoulder even when tightened. I have to deal with it until I can tug the strap back onto my shoulders. On the flipside, the straps of my push up/secret embrace are the opposite, they dig into my shoulders a lot. If I loosen them, they become too loose and slide off my shoulders. I'd rather have digging straps than slipping straps to be quite honest. A minor inconvinience, but its all part of wearing a bra so I have gotten used to it and don't mind it at all.

For all my bras though, concealing the bra outline projection on my back is pretty easy to do. Its harder to conceal the front than the back. As long as I don't bend over or allow my shirts to press against my back the outline won't show. I just have to make sure not to get careless like on the bus(though I don't regret it). And I don't wear t-shirts every day. Concealing the bra outlines with polo shirts or print shirts is really easy and I don't have to worry at all when wearing those. And I won't wear tight shirts :)

Hope this helped :) talking about my bras is fun

LMAO!!!!!!!!!! :D

Funny you like all the bras I can't stand.

OK, you still haven't answered my first question: why do you like to wear bras?

I just like them. No definite reason why. I like how they feel, and they are an interesting piece of clothing to me.

I can't see how you hate the push up bras. They are amazing. The gel pads are SO comfortable. So is the secret embrace. What is wrong with these? Please explain...

If there is any bra style I hate, its lacy bras. I just don't like them, they look uncomfortable and a bit too girly for me. I go for the simpler, seamless styles. I also would never wear a sports bra, balconet bra, racerback bra, or convertible bra. Those are lame and cheesy to me :)

Also, I insist my bras have underwires. Bras without underwires feel cheap and like they were made for 12 year old pre-pubescent girls.

I'm sorry, but this has just got to be a joke -- a very, very well-executed joke.

And if it's not a joke, then the irony is masterful.

Okay question-how much money have you spent on bras? They're really expensive and all for some material, elastic and a piece of metal. Also, how's the IPEX? I want to try that.
Aren't underwires uncomfortable for you? They never sit right on me, it's always on a rib so I'm highly uncomfortable all day.

Nope, not a joke here. It's 100% legit... I could prove it by taking a pic of my collection I guess, but I can't find any batteries for my camera. If I were to joke around, I would have given up on page 1.

Well, only 2 of the bras I have bought have been full price - the rest were on sale at that semi-annual sale they have. All in all I have probably spent about $175-$200 on it over the course of a year... which isn't too bad considering I have a good part-time job which pays me good.

IPEX is a bit boring, in my opinion, but its easily the most lightweight bra I have ever worn. The fabric is smooth, and overall the bra seems thin and weightless. It's good under t-shirts if you want no show-through. The straps on the front are padded. Overall I'd give it a 4 out of 5. Cons are its one of the more boring bras out there, but pros are that its lightweight, comfortable and smooth. The fabric is not static prone and it doesn't attach and get tight around my skin. I recommend it.

Underwires don't bother me. I have gotten used to them, and like I said I would not wear a non-underwire bra. The underwire in my opinion makes the bra feel like its worthwhile. Yeah, it rubs sometimes, but its all part of wearing a bra. Underwires do not bother me at all.
