Why I Hate Wearing A Bra

And 16 other reasons.

Why I Hate Wearing A Bra
HER CAMPUS

I can remember being in seventh grade gym class, being totally intimidated to change in front of 40 other girls. Especially having a chest as flat as a board. I longed for the day where I would finally be able to have something to fill out a padded, underwire bra of my own. How times have changed. Now, bras are the enemy, and here's why.

1. So "64 percent of women wear the wrong size bra"...including me.

I have been sized for bras so many times in different stores, and every time it’s a different measurement, and every time the bra feels too tight or too loose. I don't get it. Why does it go from D to DD to DDD and not just from D to E? Who created this system?

2. Outfits like these make normal bras impossible to wear.

And if you do wear a bra with these outfits...

3. You'll have to worry about the straps.

Straps that are too tight. Too loose straps that fall. Taboo visible straps. Tasteless “invisible” straps (you aren’t fooling anyone).

4. And don’t even get me started on strapless bras. Those are fantastic if you want to be doing this all night:

5. Also “strapless backless bras” or “sticky boobs”?

Also known as weird chicken cutlets that are supposed to stick to you and push your boobs up. What they actually do is eventually become slightly tacky blobs that barely even stick to you anymore.

6. One word: underwire.

I have been in too tight bras before, and when left on for extended amounts of time, have actually caused my stomach to hurt, or my ribs to be sore. You’re probably wondering, why I don't just get a bigger size? But realize…metal digging into your ribs all day? No thank you.

7. The infamous double boob syndrome.

8.Sweaty bras equals a no-go.

9. Sequin and lace bras underneath a regular T-shirt don't mix well.

10.White bras in flash photography.

Other things bras don't mix well with...

11. Bras and sore muscles.

12. Bras and freshly done tattoos (ouch).

13. Big boobs and bras that don't do their job.

14. Bras and sunburn.

15. Bras are even said to further weaken the muscles around your breasts, resulting them to become even saggier over time.

A French study done over 15 years confirms this, according to this article from Medical News Today.

16. You should feel as good as you do when you take your bra off at the end of a long day, all day long.

17. Embrace your inner Rachel Green.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
