Phew! Women don’t need to worry about nipples anymore

I had the misfortune of hitting puberty rather early and my breasts sprouted earlier than those of my friends

Bras are so annoying! I had the misfortune of hitting puberty rather early and my breasts sprouted earlier than those of my friends. And so, at the age of 11, I was walking around with fully-fledged boobs and was literally the only girl in my class wearing a bra. I hated bras then and I hate them even more now. What with falling straps and pinching wires! Taking it off is the best part of my day. Luckily, even though my boobs developed earlier, I didn’t grow to become large-chested. I thank God that my small and perky boobs make going braless a viable option for me all the time. I don’t have to fret about underwire and padding.

However, even though I’ve never had to worry about bouncing and sagging, I have been facing another awful predicament that comes with going braless; my nipples showing through my clothing. Many people consider it a fashion faux pas. A visible nipple outline will draw unwanted attention. There is no faster way to get general public disapproval than walking around with erect nipples.
