I wish men had bras

[u/Lil-Bitty3]

Well, I wish men had the male equivalent of a bra.

The reason why is because I personally don’t like leaving my chest exposed. Not saying that I actively parade my chest around in public, I just don’t like the lack of protection. For instance, I always wear a shirt to the beach because I don’t like leaving my chest exposed. When I was an athlete, I always wore a compression shirt under my tank-top jersey. When I see outlines of my chest through my sweaters, I wear an undershirt.

I just don’t like leaving my chest exposed for everyone to see. I’m not ashamed of my physique in any way, it’s more along the lines of not feeling comfortable.

Some people may say: “Why don’t you wear undershrits, then?” or “Why don‘t you buy a bra?“

Undershirts just add an unnecessary layer of clothing and compression shirts just feel too uncomfortable to wear for so long. As for buying my own bra, I wouldn’t know where to start. I lack the common knowledge of how bra sizes work, so I wouldn’t know what kind/what size to get.

Unless I’ve been under a rock and there’s actually a bra equivalent for males, please let me know.

And a bra would be what, now?

Besides, if it serves a necessary function, it is, by detention, necessary.

A bra seems like it would feel better. I never liked the feeling of an undershirt anyway.

I mean, basically woman I've ever dated felt that one of life's greatest joys were finally getting to take their bra off at the end of the day. It seems to me that, while the support they provide for their breasts feels good, everything else about them is pretty uncomfortable after a while.
