It’s a common assumption that only women with smaller cup sizes (A-C) can go braless. This is simply untrue, as women with D cups can go braless too! Below I share a few tips on how to go braless when you are a D cup. 

How to Go Braless With D Cup 

Venturing into the world without a bra will feel noticeably different. You might be tempted to put on your sweater or cross your arms over your chest while walking. Some women say they feel as though they are being stared at simply because they don’t have a bra on.

    Going braless doesn’t necessarily mean going completely support free. Going braless could mean switching from your everyday underwire bra to a soft bralette or supportive tank top. Below I list multiple methods to help you with going braless.

    Ways to Go Braless With D Cups

    Take It Slow

    Similar to wearing heels on the first day, going braless can be somewhat uncomfortable. This is because your breast tissues are not being supported, and energetic movements may cause pain. Try and adjust your muscles slowly by taking small steps.

    If you are used to wearing a bra all day, switch it up by to reducing the hours your wear a bra, or go braless on alternating days. In no time, you will find that your body has conditioned itself to being bra-free.

    Try Bralettes First

    A bralette is a bra that is lightweight and wireless, primarily designed for comfort. Bralettes are occasionally worn alone as tops and provide light coverage and support. Bralettes are made with a comfortable fabric, and unstructured without an inner cup sling or lining.

    Use Nipple Covers

    Nipple covers are soft patches that cover a person’s nipples and are typically affixed with adhesive. Some types of nipple covers include:

    When Can You Use Nipple Covers?

    Use Boob Tape

    Boob tape is a lifesaver for those who have trouble keeping their breasts in one place. It is an adhesive fabric strip that keeps everything contained and in place.

    Use Band-Aids

      If all else fails and you are fresh out of nipple covers or boob tape, you can use band-aids to cover your nipples in a pinch. This won’t be as comfortable as nipple covers or as supportive as boob tape but it works.

      Wear Supportive Clothes 

      If you want to free yourself from the shackles of a bra, you can try wearing supportive clothing like:

      Be Confident

      It can be hard to feel okay with going braless. For a long time, being a D cup condemned you to always wearing a bra. Then you reach a point where you realize that wearing a bra is rule made up by society. No one can force you to wear a bra. Comfort is king!

      Ignore the voices in your head that make you feel like you’re not perfect for leaving your bra at home. Ooze that sexy confidence and show off those D-cup size babies! Hold your head high. You are worthy and enough.
