Other people's perspectives

I catch people looking at my chest all the time. People notice. My wife even has said she has caught people looking at my chest. People just look, no harm. Just a guy with boobs😂

Boobs are just nice to look at in my opinion, no matter who is sporting them. I was totally flat chested all my life, even compared to other guys. Happy to be developing now. I'll wear them proudly.

When I wear a tank top I get a few more downward looks and stares.

I understand….

I dropped by a WalMart to check out some Vanity Fair underwire bras. I’m a 42C, but some of them are getting a bit full. I was going to gather up a 42D and see if the fit was better. Just my luck…there wasn’t the first 42D in the specific VF bra I wanted to try on, in either white, black, or nude.

I did stumble onto a 44C…in nude…and decided to give it a try, based on the sister sizing concept.

The fit was great, but for whatever reason, the 44 band size didn’t feel as “loose” as I thought it would, but the bra was obviously NEW, too.

Getting back to the tank top quote, I saw some tank tops on a clearance rack. I hesitated about buying them, but hey….a deal is a deal, right?

Below is the 44C and one of the two tank tops I bought. Note….I’d never chance wearing that one in public, unless a long sleeve Duluth Trading flannel was involved.

My bra straps may or may not have been adjusted a little strategically….

Good Afternoon J

I live in the Duluth Trading Company's no yank tanks. I tried the one's with the built in shelf bra but didn't really feel like at gave me any support. So I go with the no yank tank with a bra underneath and that works great.

Breasts are beautiful. I'll wear them proudly.

I've just spent a week on a group holiday in Italy (with fellow English of a similar age to me) and wearing a bra and not hiding away has been a complete revelation to me.
No one in the group seemed to notice my chest - at least no one said anything. Equally I didn't get any looks or staring from anyone local in the resort area.
The only very minor incident was a young Italian teenage girl who was obviously giving my chest a good look! Perhaps children have a different filter to adults. 
Having had a good experience in much less self conscious, and my confidence to stand proudly has increased immensely.

Did you go through the airport and flight while wearing your bra?

[SwoopNscoop]

Yes, I feel uncomfortable without a bra, and I'm currently finding a M&S wired Demi-Cup most easy to wear. I wore the same bra (washed while away!) through both airports and on the flights. Very comfortable and without any drama.
Why do you ask?

Swoop,

Just interested in other people’s experiences. I travel to Europe about once a year for about three months at a time. Of course wearing my bra through the airport and on the plane because it’s a must for me to be comfortable and have Support.  With Europe flights I’ve only gone through metal detectors and have had no problems. But when we go to Hawaii, I’ve gone through scanners and I’ve been usually stopped and patted down and then have to tell them I have a bra on, and at that point they just let me through.
