- I had to break the rules I'm sorry.
I'm not about to break my boobs.
- Hopefully it's not too revealing.
- So we're in the post office.
While I unsupport my breasts.
(upbeat music)
- I remember being maybe 10 or 11 years old
when I kind of noticed
that I was hitting puberty a lot earlier
than the other girls in my class.
- I am 5'1 and 28 years old.
And I have excruciating back problems.
- At a younger age I was very self-conscious about
like my thick thighs.
So I felt like I don't have a thigh gap.
I don't have little boobs.
I'm the complete opposite of everyone else.
- And it was actually kind of the cool thing
in middle school.
All the boys wanted to talk to me.
But the older you get,
it's not that cool because then clothes don't really fit.
- I was definitely sexualized really young.
I didn't realize it until like a few years ago.
- So because I've been wearing a bra,
as long as I can remember,
I feel the need to wear a bra every single day.
- I'm pretty much wearing a bra all the time
when I go out in public.
- I have gone out quite a few times without a bra.
If I'm wearing like a looser shirt like this,
I wear things that are pretty baggy.
I like people not knowing what I have going on.
- I think society, friends and family
almost put the standard on you.
You need to wear a bra because it's disgusting
to see these big breasts.
- Hoping no one notices and says something
to make it awkward.
Maybe this will help me go braless more often.
- I think it'll be good for me
to, I guess, get more in touch with my body,
which sounds so cliche,
but I oftentimes feel disconnected.
- All right I will be meeting this.
We are bra free.
Waking up in the morning putting on my bra is like a ritual.
Like it's literally part of what I do every day.
So it feels a little weird to like put my shirt on
and that's it.
I always wear like oversized t-shirts
I think that's just like comfortable for me these days.
I'm hoping that it kind of masks
the fact that I'm not wearing a bra.
And to be honest,
it's not the fact that I'm not wearing a bra
it's really the fear of like my nipples.
I feel like if my boobs were just free, that's fine.
But something about once the nipples appear,
then it becomes weird.
- So I was gonna wear of this.
I thought it would be good the black to hide it,
but it's very tight.
I'm feeling very exposed.
So I'm gonna change.
Much better loose shirt, baggy pants.
Let's (beeps) do this.
- I'm here in the office, but in the patio.
It's hot and I have some crazy under boob sweat
going right now.
Usually the bra will help catch some of the sweat.
Other than that, I'm liking how free I feel.
- I just got home from walking my dog.
And I thought not wearing a bra would be fine,
like carefree and like honestly breezy
because like the shirt is big,
but my boobs are so big
and newsflash, big boobs kinda hang.
I have so much boob sweat going on.
I am actually uncomfortable.
- I'm on my way to Costco braless.
Pro tip don't go in the big frozen section
without a bra on.
- Doing a little midday, boob sweat check.
And I am all dry.
Good to go.
No one's commented.
I don't think anyone cares or has noticed so far.
- Just went to the drive through and grab coffee.
TMI but my boobs are like laying on my stomach.
That's not a good feeling.
- I'm sitting in the air conditioning, just lifting up,
airing them out.
I hated that, but I did come up with something.
Found two napkins in my car.
- I think I'm more conscious of it
because I'm so aware of it,
but I can feel people looking.
So I'm just trying to cover up.
- Day one is coming to an end.
No one has really said anything.
And I think it's 'cause I have on a baggy t-shirt
and I think that's part of me
just still trying to be in my comfort zone.
- I was so uncomfortable all day.
So unsupported.
So hot.
- Day two.
- I am headed to work.
I'm semi hiding, camouflaging them in a loose ish t-shirt
but they're there.
- Today I thought I would
kind of step out of my comfort zone a little more.
I'm wearing this like kinda like a athletic tank top
kind of deal.
First of all, I never even like show my arms.
That's a whole another video.
I'm feeling really competent today.
I do think I'm gonna wear my hair down
just to kind of cover any nipplage
and I'm gonna be hanging out with my mom today.
And my mom is very conservative.
I don't know.
I feel like I like the way I look more without a bra.
The bra lifts the boobs and like shapes them.
But when you have larger breasts,
sometimes a bra makes them look a lot bigger
than they truly are.
- I'm not gonna lie to you.
I stayed in bed for a very long time,
putting off getting up and doing this.
I'm gonna have some coffee,
then try and do some yoga.
Put on the tightest cami I could find.
I did maybe three minutes not for me.
- It's like a hundred degrees in LA today.
I am dying of a migraine and nausea as a result.
So I'm headed home.
And it's gonna be a boring day.
- This outfit is very cute.
Very sexy.
Okay I see you challenge.
- Well, I just got to my parents' house
and the first thing my mom said to me was,
"Ooh, I like that job cute shirt."
Well, thank you Rose.
- We're in thar post office while I unsupport my breasts.
They had several men in the post office ask,
"Oh, is that heavy are you okay?"
I wonder why.
- This is the end of day two.
I feel a lot more comfortable.
Like I actually felt really competent today.
I don't know I feel like people were friendlier to me.
The sun was shining a little brighter today.
But today was a good day.
I'm getting more and more comfortable without wearing a bra.
And I'm kind of forgetting that I'm not wearing a bra,
which is like,
I think the most important part I haven't really noticed.
- I'm very curious to see how the rest of the week goes.
I'm on my period and my boobs get two cup sizes, larger.
- This is today's outfit.
It's kinda mesh.
So we'll see pushing the limits,
kind of testing myself from what I've been doing all week
with the loose t-shirt.
It's too hot.
And I wanted something that was a little cooler.
So hopefully it's not too revealing.
- I'm making a bit more of a bolder choice today
by wearing a t-shirt where you can clearly see
what's going on.
I'm not gonna lie.
I'm really struggling with this outfit specifically,
just because I'm wearing a skirt
and I'm already a short person.
So I'm basically all boob today.
I caved and changed out of my skirt and put these jeans on.
I did not feel confident.
Can't really say I feel in this outfit either,
but it's a step.
What are you going to do?
- I'm very happy with my outfit choice today.
No nips slips, to my knowledge.
Very happy that no one has said anything.
It's so tight.
It is a child's jersey
that I'm feeling like I have some support today.
Also since this is mesh,
there is no boot sweat.
As soon as I sweat it dries out.
So it's great.
- So I made it halfway through my day
and I actually changed my shirt again
to a more oversized tie-dye shirt.
Back to my comfort zone.
- Feels like I've been doing this forever.
It is making me painfully aware of my body.
I'm kind of relearning how to dress,
but it's forcing me to like my body.
I always look at my body and I'm like,
why is this so hard for me to get ready in the morning?
I never feel cute.
And it's just hard when your body's on display like mine is,
and everybody's been mined
because I have these huge breasts that take up space.
And I get people making these comments and I hate them
especially coming from men.
It's just so hard to be objectified like that.
- I did go with another jersey.
But this one doesn't fit as tight as the other one does.
I have noticed I just need to get out of my own head.
And no one cares on my boob but me apparently.
- If I'm being 100% honest,
when I woke up this morning,
I actually wanted to put on a bra,
but I didn't.
But I did repeat my outfit
and I put on this kind of compression top.
- I told my mom that I started roller skating
and she sent me this.
It's very small.
I mean, it's tight and the flashy one unfortunately.
- So I've been moving around a lot today.
Got a little discomfort from the girls,
just bouncing up and down along with me.
- I thought this challenge would make me appreciate
being free and kind of doing what you want.
But in reality,
I actually enjoy the support that a bra gives.
And I never thought I'd be saying it,
but I think I miss my bra.
Today I'm going on a date.
I am meeting a gentleman for coffee.
I woke up ready I put my bra on, I got ready.
And I just realized I'm not supposed to be wearing a bra
and I wanna stay true to the challenge.
So I took the bra off.
But I kind of have on this sporty outfit.
And this top is kind of loose,
a little bit of nipple edge, but not a whole lot.
This is the first day and not wearing a bra
is not giving off the wrong impression,
but I mean, there's some weirdos out there.
I'm just hoping that his eyes stay up here.
- I regret to inform you that I wore a sports bra
this morning.
I decided to go on a long walk with my dogs and my brother.
That was my choice.
It was the right choice for me.
It felt good.
And now I'm back braless.
Wearing a dress that's pretty form fitting.
So I making up for my misgivings.
- I changed my hat because
that man does not need to know where I work.
All in all the date went really well.
We talked for like hours and hours and hours
at a coffee shop.
He didn't really notice I don't think.
- So I had this plan last night
that I was going to wear a very low revealing shirt
and just kind of walk around.
And I put it on just now and I don't want to.
And then I started feeling bad.
Like, why don't you want to like, are you ashamed?
Just do it who cares?
It's your body?
And it's like, yeah it is my body
so I can wear whatever I want
and I can wear what makes me feel sexy.
And what makes me feel protected as a woman.
- I am currently sitting in the parking lot
of my cycle class.
I had to put a sports bra on.
The one I go to they do like dance moves on the bike
and it's a lot of movement.
I try to kind of see what it would be like.
And my boobs were literally hitting me in the face.
I had to break the rules I'm sorry.
I'm not about to break my boobs.
- There's one thing this week has started to teach me
it's that a bra isn't always necessary to be out in society.
Like I can just like, whoo,
go out free as a bird
and maybe just put on a bra if necessary.
- I'm really (beeps) happy that's over.
I learned a lot about myself and my girls,
but I'm very happy to have that option to wear a bra
just for like my physical needs
of like it definitely helps my back a little bit more.
- I've learned through this process
that I need to just listen to myself more.
And if I wake up one day and say,
I don't wanna wear a bra, then I just don't wear a bra.
I don't see the need to please anyone but myself.
