Would that not make bathroom visits awkward?

I'd assume that it's a two-piece...

I feel your pain. I think velcro would be a good replacement.

It's nice when chicks go topless... but that's rare...

Seconded

Most of them it's just put the thumb on one side of the clasp, and index on the other, and squeeze...

If a woman can walk down the street without wearing a bra and manage not to blacken her eyes from the bounce, then she should be allowed to go without one!

Well, in that case presumably only one of two pieces (don't see any reason for two layers down under). But then how is that different from a bra?

I don't know. You'd have to ask jmac why her friend wears a bathing suit rather than a bra, and if she wears the bottoms instead of panties.

But she did say something about her friend feeling it was more comfortable, breast-wise...

EDIT: And I think she probably meant bathing suit as in just the top, anyway.

Is there really even a difference? I know once my date to a tropical dance wore the bottom of a bathing suit instead of panties because it hung out a little and was sparkly and such, but I don't see why it would make a difference in everyday wear.

For that matter, maybe I don't want to know.

*Drool*
What about bras?

A good push-up bra can add a little extra drool-worthiness to a girl. Without bras, boys would never complete the rite of passage into manhood by learning and successfully performing the "bra unhook without looking" maneuver.

I chose "Yes" for the bra option because, unless I'm sleeping or cleaning my place (which I do in a tank top I had when I was 10--it's all tight and sort of mid-riffy now, so it sort of acts like a bra), I have one on. Some are plain, some are cute, some are black, some are lacy. I have a whole bunch of different kinds, for different moods.

That's really all I have to contribute to this thread. Even when I was overweight, I never had man-boobs.

She wears a one-piece swimsuit under her clothes, which as you pointed out would make bathroom visits rather inconvenient. Personally I don't find swimsuits all that comfortable, to me I rate their comfort level somewhere in between a regular bra and a sports bra. I sure wouldn't want to wear a swimsuit all day.

Breasts are the most wonderful thing evolution ever invented. It's almost enough to make you believe in intelligent design..."Hmm, we've made 'woman', and that's great, but how about we make woman even BETTER!"

As for bras, the most important thing is whether or not the woman is comfortable, being as their her breasts and all. After that, it entirely depends on what the woman looks like--breasts supported and shaped in a bra usually look better under a shirt than those that are hanging free, IMHO.

Yeah, most of them. Then there's the ones where you have to squeeze them together and twist clasps around each other, and the ones that go under & over or something, and there's one that snaps into place, and the one with hidden latches and...well, you get the idea. The "standard" clasp I can deal with, it's those other funky ones that trip me up. Thank god my GF doesn't wear bras much, and that hers are the simple kind I can undo.

I actually find bras to be sexy (well, the pretty lacy ones anyway, not the dumpy plain white cotton) and frequently would leave that on my GF while engaging in a massive passion attack....

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2003-06-18 10:49pm

Heh, I actually like plain bras over lacy ones.

For me lace is kind of scary.

Expecialy when a silly Scots don`t have anything under his kilt.

Montcalm may some be going the way of the dinosaurs if he doesn't watch his tounge.

Kilts? Did someone say... Kilts? Where? And where's a "Men Without Pants" party when you need one?

Edit: Said party is found only where SCA people have a private camp and drinking is highly encouraged. Those men entering the camp party are ... umm... encouraged ... to check their undies at the door. Usually the doorkeepers are the best looking women in the camp, too.. in very skimpy rabbitfur bikinis.

Of course they were intelligently designed. I, the great SirNitram, designed them.

Never had to both with any funky ones...

For me, it depends on the boobs. We had a rainy day last year and at my school the PAC(Preforming Arts Center) is about 200 yards away from the rest of the rest of the campus(bad estimate, I'm horrible at measuring distance in units with the eye) and we had to walk over there. I got in about 5 minutes before anyone else, and before it started raining, but we had several chicks with white shirts on. Although none of them were braless several had nice perky breast that made me really wish they didn't.

But, if they are saggy or fatty, then yeah, bra would be a must.
