I've been saying this for years. when I'm no longer breastfeeding I wanna switch to this but am also worried that since I no longer have cute boobs like I did pre kids that its just going to look gross for me
Bras weaken your chest and make your boobs saggy.
So yes. That's a good idea.

What is the reason for sagging breasts?
The main reason for sagging breasts is due to stretching of something known as the Cooper's ligament (also known as the suspensory ligament), which is a connective tissue made of collagen and elastin. It is mainly responsible for maintaining the structural integrity of the breasts and helping connect the breast tissue to the surrounding chest muscles. There are various factors that affect the integrity of this connective tissue, including:
Size of the breasts: "Stretching of the Cooper's ligament is seen more commonly in [people] with bigger breasts due to the gravitational pull," board-certified breast oncology surgeon Anita Johnson, MD, tells Health. Other research has also shown the positive relationship between larger cup size and sagging.
Age: As people age, changes to the connective tissue can cause a reduction in collagen leading to a loss of elasticity. Studies have shown that aging leads to increased skin laxity, which weakens breast ligaments and leads to the sagging of breasts.

Number of pregnancies: This is one of the most common risk factors for sagging breasts. Pregnancy is known to cause breast changes, one of the most common factors being engorgement due to hormonal changes. Post-pregnancy changes (which include hormonal regression of the breast tissue) are one of the most common reasons for sagging.
Smoking: Similar to the structural changes seen in aging, cigarettes contain chemicals that can break down the elastin in the skin. Scientists have also found a positive correlation between smoking history and drooping in the breasts.
Does wearing a bra have anything to do with making breasts sag?
It is maintained by scientists that wearing a bra does nothing to prevent sagging; it only aims to provide support. Dr. Johnson says that while wearing a sports bra during exercise can help for some, it doesn't do anything to prevent sagging. Similarly, not wearing a bra does not cause sagging.

So funny how there are way more men answering this question. 🤣
While those look more comfortable since it doesn’t look like they have wiring, I don’t think they will be very efficient in supporting more top-heavy women. I also had the thought about the sticky tape looking stuff and my concerns with that would be 1) how much weight would it hold and for how long before it unsticks and gravity takes place in public lmao. 2) Some people have sensitive skin and the tape/sticky whatever that is might irritate the skin.
Lol bc they are the ones that remove them 🤣
Nipple covers will not be enough for women with bigger breasts. Not in term of support.
Let people wear what they want to wear. I'm sure there are pros and cons. Just taking a quick glance down the first couple of answers already makes that obvious.
If a woman wants to replace bras with nipple covers, that's fine with me and none of my business, it's her body.
But there's no need for bras in general to be replaced with nipple covers. The reason bras are uncomfortable to most women is because most women wear the wrong size. The right size gives support and feels like a second skin.
I'd imagine that'd be even more uncomfortable, at least for larger-breasted women who need more support. I'm not opposed to people having the option, but I don't think they'd see much use.
Yes. I read a study that suggests that women wearing supporting bras weakens the tissue around the breast and causes premature sagging.
It makes sense. Akin to someone who regularly lifts heavy things have much stronger arms than someone who has their arms supported 8 hours a day in a sling.
I'm 50/50 on those. On hot days they seldom work. The adhesive isn't strong enough to really hold on while sweating. I'll sometimes use pasties in the winter while going braless so my nips aren't saying hello to everyone the entire time.
It's nice to ask this question, and have a beautiful young model showing them. Once those nice boobs start the inevitable fall to gravity, nipple covers won't help.
I have used nipple covers on special occasions but honestly, I prefer to just go bare. No bra or covers, I rarely have anyone care anyways.
They should just go braless. I would see their nipples poking through everyday, and they would see my erection sticking out.
I don't always need a bra, but I'm not sure something sticking to my girls would be any more comfortable. I guess I would have to try it and see.
I would wear a bra all the time but it be a sports bra ; unless it’s illegal to wear one then I would not wear one
Sometimes you do need support. They are available if needed though.
Wire bras are uncomfortable, yes. They're also not the only option in the bra department.
I went to a wedding a few years ago where all of the bridesmaids had to wear these because bras wouldn't work with their dresses. There was one bridesmaid who was thin but had REALLY big natural boobs. She cause a LOT of wood at that wedding!
I support a womans choice to wear or not wear bras/covers. Breadts are not inherently sexual, society just sexualized them for themselves
I am from "Save the city free the Titty organization " and I approve of this
Don't be silly.
That there seems like a gimmick, tbh.
Wear a silicone bra, or genie bra instead, if the conventional is uncomfortable.
Well how about if a girl is hot she doesn't need to wear a bra but if she is real fat or ugly she does?
Not really since they don’t give the breasts proper support.
if the woman looks like this - yes. If she is fat, hell fucking no
No. I still believe in the quest of unhooking the bra! I have and so should the younger generations!
My fellow classmate at school sure doesn’t do either of this on snap and insta
Free the tittie's not for the men but for us.
@Jackpot7s f u
Or just dont wear. Who cares.
E) Why bother covering the nipple at all? If a bra is uncomfortable, don't wear one.
FREE THE TWINS !!!
I wear nipple covers at weddings, or event of evening don’t want bra straps in the picture.
But in general, you'll stick with bras
Why not just buy a strapless bra
Makes no difference to me since I am not the one wearing it! Comfort and modesty is up to the woman in that area.
i really don't care. i mean i love seeing boobs. i can only win.
I fully support the no bra movement.
But only if she has is hot and has big melons.
Yes I 1000% support this
My mommas need more support than that 💀
True that lol.
I don't see how those would replace a bra, but they might work in conjunction.
Way bother at all? Just wear a camisole or something if layering is wanted?
Uh, no thanks. I like wearing bras.
If a woman is comfortable then why not be. If she does not need to wear a bra, then why.
I support no bra so men look at it and get horny.
Sure but do they really need a shirt
Only if it can actually hold it up
That would certainly get my vote.
Yeah i do it might be less awkward then bras
I don’t know why not. Whatever works.
No Just lose the Bra.
zero support lol
Whatever works for the person.
Nope.
Yes. Simply yes.
snug the jugs
Free the nipples...
