Saunas

[Dudewithboobs]

In recent months I’ve been trying to get more adjusted to a bit more fullness experienced, and troubles it’s come with in shirts and such particularly in the gym. I wear a bra most days to the gym and have overcome the fear of it being seen by passerby’s especially women who may be keen to seeing the detail more than men. And men who may be working out near me and see my outline if present. But I used to love going in the sauna and relaxing a bit at the end of a workout and just haven’t in some time since I got to a point of feeling my chest was apparent shirtless. 

I kept telling myself I’m just going to do it. I’m just going to take my shirt off and go in the sauna like anyone else and sit for a bit. And finally 2 weeks ago I did. It was so nice to just go and sit down again. First few times I’d leave my headphones on and muted but bob my head to indicate I had music on lol to see if anyone would be like dude look, but as “were the only one paying attention” goes it seeemd to be the case. Only a time or two since getting back in the sauna have I felt and seen someone looking at my chest. 

I feel I take care of my body fairly well so perhaps muscle and make presenting gives indication of it’s not intentional that makes it more observant than suspicious or whatever but just was nice to get back in. 

Take away is, even if nervous or how your chest looks. If it’s just some cushion. Mild breast growth or absolutely feminine in shape size and volume. Dont let it bring you down or take you away from what you enjoy that may require a shirt to come off. Confidence is key and displaying you’re no different from the guy next to you who may be chiseled and flat goes a long way in whoever may see, to dismiss it as “better him than me but whatever”

Dude,

 I understand.  I shave my chest, because the hair irritates my breasts in a bra.  I was recently in Hawaii, for two weeks, and took off my t-shirt at the pool and hot tub.  Certainly, there were a few stares.  My wife was with me, so that was as far as it went.  Had it gone further, I would have explained that I have gyne, and it happens to 10% of men.  It's preferable to their big belly's, but I didn't go there. 

One of the ladies said "wish we could do that".  That embarrassed me.  It didn't do it again.  My wife would have been mortified if I wore any bra top, so t-shirt it was.  We had a lanai, so it wasn't a problem.

I often wonder if there’s a reasonable option for men to cover up and still have support without feeling like in a wetsuit. I’ve looked at rash guards and tankinis and such but all are too obviously female to me for comfort in a public setting. I’d rather risk it with topless and let things go as they may. I’m glad your wife is comfortable with it all and knows it’s just an it is what it is and doesn’t ask you not to be comfortable for her sake.

Hey Dude,

She and I dated for 4 years through high school and college.  Married 53 years.  Only issue is that I am a C cup and she is a B cup.  That is after we had 3 daughters.  Yes, a son would have been great, but I have 3 grandsons.

Good thing is that she is beautiful and I'm just an old guy.

Oddly enough it’s usually the wife whose breasts get bigger after kids not the husbands lol just making humor of the situation of course and hope not offended. But am glad you have such an incredible wife and supportive family. Especially when passing the wife. It’s my biggest concern with my wife being a 40B and me being a 34b. Hers are by far more full, shaped and such as a woman’s bust would be in comparison. But my fear is what happens if it happens in passing her cup size. Not that I think she’d admit a bra is needed regardless of size but the what if does worry me in that regard

Her breasts got huge when nursing.  Then they returned to normal after.  That was 45-50 years ago.  She wears a 34B t-shirt bra which has molded cups and makes them look larger.  I mostly wear jog bras which tend to flatten the breasts and limit projection.  I also wear wireless bras to allow the breasts to breath when at home.  That works until someone unexpectedly shows up at the door.  I have a vest handy for those occasions.

Wireless t shirt bras are my go to when around the house or casual work in the yard. Have had talks with my neighbor and gone for short walks in them and feel great in a typical bra when I can. At times I fear the straps show on the back in daylight or other activity but I’ve yet to see anyone stop and glance if I pass someone so I try to keep confident it’s ok. A pullover bra has otherwise been my go to.

I wear Fruit of the Loom Jog Bras.  They offer support without much worry about straps or even the sides.  I match them with the muscle shirts that I wear when walking in warmer weather.  When it get hotter, tank tops can be an issue.  I hike in the desert, so I don't see many people.  Of course, when I'm dealing with a wet shirt, there is no hiding the breasts.  Walking earlier, has more interactions.  Can't win.  Getting in my 3 miles at 7am.  Still cold and layering works, so far.
