Gillian Anderson recently posted a video on Instagram where she stated that she no longer wears a bra and doesn’t plan on ever wearing one again. The actress explained, “I don’t care if my breasts reach my belly button. I’m not wearing a bra.”
Anderson has ditched the undergarment for good because she says it’s way too uncomfortable, and she’s not willing to deal with it anymore.

Anderson’s video was shared on Twitter, and many women are rallying around her, proudly agreeing that they don’t wear bras either.
I have never worn bras, and I am 63 years old. I tried. But I didn’t like the feel of a bra. I wear camisoles.

I agree—have t worn one since I was 12, sooooo uncomfortable! Baggy shirts maybe, bras hard no!

Other Twitter users shared that although they don’t wear bras, they do wear an alternative undergarment.
I’ve not wore one for ten years but I do wear a crop top bra they are extremely comfortable and only about a couple of quid or a couple of dollars if you are American so much cheaper than a torture device 🤣

Yet other people feel that it’s unfair to say that a bra is uncomfortable. Some claim that there are actually very comfortable bras out there; you just have to find the right one.
Bra’s are not torture! They make super comfy ones!! And some women simply don’t have a choice either thru surgery or by nature are just too large to let them hang down, for them not wearing one is torture.

Some men on the Twitter thread urged women to give up bras for good.
It really is amazing that women took their bra off back in the sixties and started burning them… Oh ya!What made them change their mind? I hate to say fickle…but what do you call it?WE MEN DON”T MIND! Rip them off and move forward…

Some women are hoping Anderson’s decision to go braless will be the beginning of a larger movement encouraging more women to say goodbye to bras.
Applause! Hopefully this is the beginning of a movement and I suspect fully endorsed by both genders.

Do you think women should stop wearing bras? Do you think all bras are uncomfortable?
