#i think ive heard that some men who run a lot wear nipple guards

About your post about growing braless (sorry if this is weird) I was wondering how long it took before you saw a difference in your muscles/the shape? From your description of yourself I’m thinking I’m around the same size in chest or maybe bigger and I was just hoping for a general idea. And again sorry if this is weird but, do your nipples get chafed at all?? I have really large areolas (I think im spelling that correctly) and in the past I’ve tried to go braless but it hurts my nipples to the point of actually bleeding and I just wondering if you have any tips on that?

have a nice day!

Don't worry at all, I understand why you ask!

I am too unobservant and also fat to have seen a change in muscle or the shape of the breasts after ditching the bra, and this is also some years ago, but also I can't really remember that I had much discomfort when I stopped wearing a bra. Despite being fairly large I think they sit in a way which distributes the weight comfortably, and here there can be individual differences. What I did suddenly notice a few years ago was that I could do the pec dance thing that muscular men show off with, despite the fact that I had never worked out at that point, so those muscles seem to have developed to support my breasts.

Chafing is not something I've had issues with, despite also having large areolas. I am fairly picky with what fabrics I wear, especially close to the skin, but idk if avoiding polyester like I do makes any difference or not. In some situations I think it is nice to wear a close fitting singlet in lieu of a bra, but for me that's more something to wear under my work uniform, but maybe it could be a layer that kinda sits put against you so that there isn't any friction and chafing against a looser garment.

While I am a bra burner at heart I do not think you should go through unnecessary pains like bleeding! Also it is not black or white, 0 or 100, reducing duration and/or frequency of wearing a bra is also really helpful.
