Is it normal to go without a bra?

I am a small person (4'11", 99lbs) with a very small chest. My bandsize (american sizes) being 30-32 and size being AA-A cup. Lately, since I lost weight, I have been having trouble finding bras in my size. Should I just stop wearing a bra, since I don't need it for support? I have come to the conclusion that I only wear a bra for personal reassurance and perhaps "confidence", because every other woman I know wears a bra.

Is it normal, and should I, go bra-less?

    Have you checked the section for teenagers? You might be able to find something there. Some petit adult women like buying stuff from the kid's section. I know a girl with small feet who can sometimes gets her shoes there. It's cheaper, too.

      I love buying little kids shoes, they are often much cheaper.

  • If you don't want your nipples to show, my advice would be wearing a bra. Go to specialty shops that exclusively do undergarments. Ask them to measure you.

      A piece of medical tape or a band-aid over each nipple does the trick for me, assuming I don't want someone to see the polies.

    When I was younger I would be bra less most of the time . As you get older you will happily wear a bra as everything goes south

    If I had your chest size, I would never wear a bra. Go for it, girl!

    I'll admit I'm a pervert but in all honesty I find small breasted girls cute/hot/sexy and plus your nipples are gonna show in a swimsuit so why not in a shirt?

    You go girl! Being bra-less is a sign of being an extreme badass. Now you need to go out and buy a black Volkswagen New Beetle.

    If you dont need one for support,but still want that feeling - what about a camisole? Looks sexy, its that feminine layer, will keep you nipples from showing thru colorwise if you wear ligth shirts...

    I prefer braless. I'm an A too so I can say people don't notice. (Unless it's cold)

    If you're worried about your nipples you can get tape for them. Or wear a cami, you can put petals in them. My trick for fall is to drape a scarf perfectly over them.

    My warning is don't mention that you're braless. If you're like me you're friends will think it's so HILARIOUS and then they'll tell ALL of their friends even their man friends who are also my friends. And the you learn how to laugh at yourself.

      I know what you mean about not mentioning it. My friends used to always try to make me prove I was wearing a bra when they already knew I wasn't wearing one.

  • This woman at the office NEVER wore a bra so I've heard. The result is nasty to look at. Reminds me of that fat female teacher, her breasts almost touch the floor in south park.

    If you feel you don't need one then don't wear one.

    One of my former coworkers had cousins who were in the same boat. Their breasts were small enough that they didn't require support... but they were developed enough to show through their shirts.

    So they would wear bandaids.

    You might want to consider something similar... if not a bandaid, then perhaps pasties. Unless you don't mind showing off a little...

    Like some other comments mentioned, I'd say a sports bra is good.

    Here's a forum that has links on bras for petite women, may help you: http://forum.alterationsneeded.com/size-30-band-bras-and-below-t7.html

    I mean, so you wouldn't want your nipples popping out, wear a sports bra

    Just go braless, specialty bras are expensive and if you're that small in the chest your boobs will be happier without the confinement.

    You could wear a sports bra to help your nipples not show. Or those nipple peddles.

    You men are totally gross! I like girls and let me tell you that I'm not so desperate perverted and pathetic to enjoy that. Try getting a girlfriend and some self-respect!!!! Then maybe you won't be pigs anymore.

      Uh ... not all men are like that tho. =/

      Nevertheless, I don't see anything wrong with nipples popping on your shirt.
