One of the more profound love-hate relationships of our era is that between the bra and the boob-haver.

Women have come too far for strapless bras to suck so much

in my next life I want titties small enough to not need a bra

She was rare, like a bra with underwire that didn’t stab you

I just checked my calendar to see if I can take off my bra for the rest of the day and boy do I have GREAT news

WHY DID WE EVER WEAR BRAS.
I hate this pandemic, but I do like that it made me realize that I have utter contempt for bras

I’ve never been held hostage, but I have gotten trapped in my own sports bra while getting undressed.

Ripping off your mask when you get back in the car is the new taking off your bra when you get home

5: Mommy, why do girls wear bras?
Me: To support their boobies.
5: No, they’re trapping their boobies. They’re booby traps. *cracks herself up*

Just told my sister not to die in my shower because the cops would show up and then I'd have to put a bra on.

One thing that never works out well is buying a bra in a hurry.

Ain’t nobody wearing bras bruh https://t.co/jmZvZtoHty

I hope as the world slides into vaccine summer everyone’s ready to accept that we will not be going back to bras any time soon. Everyone is going to have to learn to deal with some nips.

no one is having a harder time reading the room than all my bra ads on instagram

Is there such thing as a sports bra that doesn't result in an atrocious uniboob? Asking for a boob of mine.
— Momzilla (@milliondollrfam) March 20, 2019
I used to think life was a long series of what ifs and general unease, but it turns out I was wearing the wrong size bra.
— Elizabeth Hackett (@LizHackett) May 8, 2018
I wonder if Elizabeth Warren has a plan to tackle underboob sweat. Millions of women suffer from underboob sweat. We don't talk about it enough.
I'm thinking a five point plan about constructing a bra that has a freezer pack instead of underwire.
Call me. I've got ideas, Liz.
— ️?Imani Gandy ?️ (@AngryBlackLady) June 11, 2019
I got 99 problems and most of them boil down to this bra.
— Lurkin' Mom (@LurkAtHomeMom) December 26, 2020
I think I speak for many cis women when I say that our actual greatest locker-room fear is getting stuck in our sweaty sports bra with no one around to help free us

Why can’t the same technology that keeps NFL players’ pants up be used to make a strapless bra

In middle school I used to wear a cami under any shirt I wore and now I don’t even where a bra lolol

I'm sorry I can't respond to your work email. I've taken my bra off for the night.

ALL MY NON-BRA-WEARING FRIENDS LOOK AWAY
(whispers) ok whoever's left, is there a technical term for when you have a Bra Incident and you end up with either smashboob or fourboob and you can't fix it right away
is the word i'm looking for calamatitty

I saw a woman take her bra off walking down the street today. She appeared fine/not distressed etc. Her dress was loose fitting. She just slam took her bra off in 38 degree weather and put her windbreaker back on and stuffed the bra in her purse. Today...I saw freedom. ????

I don’t want to brag but I am now the proud owner of two bras that are ok I guess.

I hate bras so much now I don’t care if I have 5 mins between zooms I am taking that monster off

Daughter: “Mine.”
Me: “Why is it on the kitchen windowsill?”
Daughter: “I took it off to eat.”

I own a lot of sports bras for someone who doesn’t do any sports.

I quit wearing bras back in January (I switched to bralettes and supportive tank tops) and I know it’s not for everyone but goddamn I’m never going back to the tyranny of cup sizes and underwires
— Anne Thériault (@anne_theriault) November 7, 2020
the algorithm only ever shows me bra ads and for a while it was bras that create cleavage then bras for larger cup sizes and now bras for small chests and I want to know what they think is happening to me
— maura quint (@behindyourback) March 9, 2021
not wearing a bra now to avoid that red bra-band mark in your nudes later is called good planning maybe you’ve heard of it
— Vision Bored (@VisionBored1) December 16, 2020
Like many women, I found out I've been wearing the wrong bra fit my whole life. like for instance did you know it's supposed to go on your boobs???
— Megan Amram (@meganamram) April 12, 2018
Bra sizes shouldn’t be measured in numbers and letters but on a scale of how ethereal or matronly you look in a house dress.

Putting on and taking off a sports bra counts as exercise. Don’t @ me
— ️?Imani Gandy ?️ (@AngryBlackLady) October 9, 2019
I need a good, big-titty sports bra that understands it will never have to live up to its name. At most, it'd have to endure an occasional solo dance party. I want something comfortable yet trustworthy, supportive but not oppressive, cute but doesn't try too hard. Please advise.

The only reason I'm wearing a bra is because I need the hug

Doing a jigsaw puzzle is relaxing and fun. Also you don’t need to wear a bra.

It should be illegal to switch the meeting from a Zoom to a phone call at the last minute. After I've put on a face and a bra, I'm going to need to be seen, thank you.

An underwire just poked out of the one bra I've been wearing for a year. I feel like this is the Punxsutawney Phil for the pandemic ending soon.
— Elizabeth Hackett (@LizHackett) March 30, 2021
I’ve never done PCP, but I have taken off an underwire bra after 11 hours.
