I hate wearing sports bras when I'm running because of the tightness around my chest. I'm starting to get used to running without a bra, but what I'm having trouble with is understanding what the long term impacts are?

The internet tells me it's fine, and but it also says that it's a bad idea, which is entirely unhelpful!

Has anyone had experience running without a bra and if so, how did you find it (assuming you have boobs)?

I don’t think you’d have any long term issues if it’s comfortable for you (of course, depending on size). I personally like to run in nursing bras. They offer support without being too tight or restrictive and they’re easier to get on and off. But if no bra is working for you then I think you should be okay with running that way.

Oh, nursing bras! That's an interesting idea. I might try that!

I welcome the support, but I just need to find something that isn't so tight around my chest, because it makes it harder for me to just enjoy running
