Do you need to wear a bra/saggy boob test....

blondolphn · March 2014

Women at various stages of their lives can use this simple "test" to determine whether they ought to wear a bra. The woman places a pencil in the inframammary fold, where the underside of the breasts attach to the chest wall. If the breast's lower (inferior) surface does not lie against the chest wall, the pencil will fall to the ground, and the woman has "passed the pencil test" and may not need to wear a bra. If the pencil stays put, the woman is "officially a woman, with all the attendant glories".[1] The supposition is that breasts that are not pendulous are self-supporting and do not need the added support of a bra.

See above clicky for more details on how to do the test.

I'm saggy boob girl... Not worth the denial.

I can't pass the pencil test, but I still think my boobs look pretty good without a bra. I guess I'm either delusional or a special snowflake.

What if you have one of each

I'm gonna take my new idea to Shark Tank... The Pirates Patch Bra: for when only one boob needs additional support.

@chickypoo2468 wikiepedia didn't say what happens if you have one of each, and wikipedia is written in like stone so it must be the end all...

I could manage without but wouldn't want to because I would leak milk and get sore nips. Also, when in the past I have gone bra-less around the house I would constantly have to fight off DH from copping a feel.

I could put a pack of pencils under there and they would still stay. Saggy, for sure.

That's for those that can hold a pencil, but feel they don't have saggy boobs... Or if they have more than enough to consitute wearing a bra, but don't sag.

I hate this.

I first heard about it when I was 16 or 17 and still as perky as they come…and I didn't pass.

I think there is probably a size cap for how accurate this is… my 32Fs are never going to be self-supporting away from my rib cage, but that doesn't mean they're sagging either. Well…maybe they'll begin NOW that I'm getting older and more pregnant but you're gonna tell me I was saggy at 17? false. I'm not even saggy now…but I've never been able to go braless either.

Maybe I'm just a special snowflake too…

Mine too. Saggy B cups to saggy F. I'm wearing a shelf tank top today which I won't leave the house in because I have 6 inches of cleavage.

I was a 34 DD before Logan and nursing for 9 months. I didn't go without a bra before, and I'm definitely not now! Saggy for sure.

I want a boob job for my 40th birthday. I could care less about the stretch marks on my stomach, but I mourn the loss of my nice rack.

Mandmeesh · March 2014

I need a bra but mh swears they're not saggy. My uo...if you've gone through puberty,you need a bra

babywisher · March 2014

If I wouldn't poke someones eye out I would totally go braless. I am on the smaller size. Well at least when not bfing. If I didn't wear one now I would leak all over!

I failed the test, but I think my b

It is obvious I'm not wearing a bra, right?

mmm50 · March 2014

Not saggy yet (thank you breastfeeding!) but definitely too huge to go bra-less. Except at home. Bras at home are a drag. I hate when people stop over unannounced.

Dang genetics. I've never been perky even with a B or small C cup...
