You’ll never look at a bra the same way again | Laura Tempesta | TEDxKCWomen 

Exactly. I agree.

I just went to corsetry instead, not the modern steel or plastic bones uncomfortable-ness, but historical recreations that are SUPER comfortable as they are a personal fit item. My 'pretty housemaid' corset is a victorian recreation of an undergarment so flexible a 'working woman' could wear it, and it works just fine for me both at my office chair and chasing down my little one. I'm all for redesigns of brassieres, but also for the de-stigmatisation of corsets as breath stealing torture device instead of an well made well fit undergarment. Ok, I'll step off my soap box now.

I ditched mine except certain family gatherings or need to talk to way upper management

@@soumikakrishna2813 I wonder why this lady (Laura Tempesta) hasn't redesigned them and come up with her own line of bras already. If she came up with a superior product she could become the next overnight billionaire. What else does one do with a masters in bras, I wonder?

@@texassweetgrl do you have a link, please?

best comment!

Yeah and I still don't understand it lol

@@masked5317 me, neither. haha

And a Master's degree!

This is very importive and helpful video. Everything is very clear in this video. Thanks for sharing.

You will eventually feel so free without one! I haven't worn one for decades, including in a professional environment (I just dressed to cover), don't let other people tell you how to live your life. Especially some sexist-BS from 5th Grade. Your body is beautiful the way it is. It is such a shame the way girls who developed early or large were treated by other kids & even adults in your case :-(

i think it’s so cool when someone’s not wearing a bra. it definitely shows confidence and sometimes it just adds something to the outfit, it makes it powerful, so i say: just do it

Same thing happened to me, except it was 7th grade gym. My dad had to come and get me. I was so embarrassed I thought I would die. My mom had to go buy me a "training bra", because I had nothing to put in a regular one! A training bra. What is that? We need to be trained to accept the discomfort of one before we even arguably "need" it? As I've gotten older I wish I'd had the confidence to be mad instead of embarrassed. Adults can be jerks...

Oh dear, where do/ did you live? Could such public shaming of young girls still happen there today?

@@miriamb3226 I grew up in New Jersey. This took place in the early 2000s

that's awesome!

I have fibromyalgia too and taking vit d, magnesium, NAC, and omega 3 really helped me together with as healthy as possible but not always diet 🙈😂.

Try knix bras

Yes i also have fm and very painful shoulders torn rotator cuff arthritis and extremely painful to fasten even to put on

YYAAASSSS!!!!! My arthritis got me to the point you are at as well. Just FORGET it. I don't wear them anymore and I have just started replacing my wardrobe with better more comfortable shirts that I can wear without one. I live in Florida and it is challenging because we wear tank tops most of the year and I am a D cup. But I feel better about having more quality tops that aren't paper thin, because I don't have the heat of wearing a bra.

I can't go without a bra because mine are big and believe me without being corralled the girls get wild! The tiny breasted women are lucky to be able to run around without a bra. I would if I could believe me!

Sis, where i live i could be harassed if i don't wear a bra

No bov I feel you 😭 if I had an A I wouldn't wear,, but I am C and it hurts to not wear . .

I have D-E cups and don't wear a bra anymore. At first it hurt and I kid you not, I had sore muscles in my chest. Now it's the best decision I ever made

I am a big c cup and I never wear a bra even if people guess my nipples behind my clothes I don’t care

You, sir, are a true ally

My words exactly.

(I am a woman) Thanks for your supprt! I wish it was that easy. Yes i could not give a f but I grew up internalizing all those social concepts, so even though I would love to be more confortable, I feel almost vulgar if I dont wear a bra.

@@tylerjoseph7411 I spent a couple weeks getting used to going braless. I was doing pretty well until a woman on the street asked me about it. She was very nice, just curious, but it made me feel too self conscious to continue.

I'm a man. There are some clothes I've seen women wear that show more than I'd like to see. I'm sure women appreciate me not walking around in clothing that clearly shows my private parts swinging around; I'd have the same courtesy extended to me. As for comfort issues: can't blame anyone for wanting and expecting to be able to wear clothing that's comfortable but even as a man the dress clothes I wear to work are not completely comfortable and I'm happy to trade them I'm back home for sweats and a tee.

Exactly!!!

Wait how much does it cost i dont wear bras

@@cheesec4kecat for me personally, $65 per bra, BEFORE tax. Just for the bra. And the bras in my size are almost NEVER all that pretty.

@@cheesec4kecat give or take a few dollars depending on style.

@@cheesec4kecat for me it’s €60 for a good sports one, but €120 ish for an everyday underwire one. I do get more expensive ones because I want them to last at least the year and do their job.

I believe 32DD is your sister size. For example I’m a 34B or a 32 C

good idea

or a gift card to Victoria's Secret or a indulgent lingerie boutique 🥰

this is the best comment lol

Lol smart

Awww

Right?! Maybe she needs a PhD to actually design a good fitting, comfortable bra.

@@vwd3781 she probably does research at a university and uses grants to cover living expenses, or is employed by a university. plenty of people are in academia without "anything to show for it". you don't need a product to be producing value

I think it needs a lot of resources and more than just a single Masters degree to come up with a design. A good product is one that goes through robust trial and tests after all. Maybe if a company is sponsoring her, she could come up with something.

YES! Loved her points but also would love a pretty bra that is comfy!!!

Yes. Also, human bodies are still the same, so what's the need for changing a bra's basic design.

With D's that's easier said than done. The attention attracted by loosed D's is not something I'm interested in. 😔

I agreed with you...

@@patriciajohnstone8196 exactly. I’d rather wear a bra that tightly holds my girls against me so I don’t attract extra attention.

I don't know about that. Maybe if your boobs are small, but no women I know wants their big ole D's and DD's and C's flopping around everywhere pulling on your chest and back while everyone stares! I'm greatful for my bra every single day.

@@patriciajohnstone8196 I completely agree with you. Although this winter found I can go out in my coat without attention!

You can sew that hole shut. Just dont let it get like a knot against your skin or that will rub you wrong too. Eventually the wires will probably poke out again though: its just the nature of metal against cloth. Good luck!🕊

Check out corset flossing techniques - it's how to sew the spot where the wire ends to stop it from poking out. There are some really decorative ones too!

Make sure you're fitted appropriately. Wires tend to poke out when you're wearing the wrong size.

So glad others have mentioned this.

wait your supposed to do that?

Isn't that the truth?

Especially properly fitted bras.. sooo expensive

I saw prices of 25c.....and 75c. somewhere.

and teach us know, I am 36 and didn't know a lot of this.

I'm in Europe and here I learnt it in sixth and seventh grade biology....

Even back problems

I learned on baby #3 after wearing bras that didn't fit while nursing for 4 years. Researching nursing bras is what finally made me realize why I couldn't ever fit into a bra at the store! Lol

A lifetime of discomfort happens with ANY bra.

I detest them totally! Had a bra fitting from a not so nice lady at Sears once and the bra felt horrible. I've given up finding anything comfortable. It's unfair!

Couldn't agree more! It's a great gift too -- an appointment for a proper bra fitting & two new bras. I have friends who tell me I've changed their life! Added bonus: wearing the right size make you look pounds lighter too.

I agree, but replacing them once a year is not always affordable. I have a unique size that isn't typically sold in stores. In fact, a lot of manufactures don't even make a size that comes close, so I just have to accept whatever is available, pay whatever it costs, and deal with it not fitting right (and it never does). Bras should be a more standard size, and they should be more accessible to anyone regardless of economic status. You shouldn't need a professional and large sums of money to get the right bra size. I think that's one of the main points of the entire Ted Talk. This is far too complicated and has been for far too long.

@@fairywingsonroses but that’s my point. If you are properly fitted, get a really good solid foundation bra of superior quality, and take good care of it, they can last more than a year. It takes effort. You have to hand wash, use the right soaps, lay to dry, etc. I have never Not been able to fit a woman, no matter what size she wears. Never. There was always a manufacturer that had a bra in her size. Perhaps not the frill or bells or whistles that she was hoping for. But most women just wanted to be comfortable, out of pain, look good, feel good, improve posture, improve clothing size, and just for the first time see what is was like to have a bra that made them have confidence in themselves. Mainline retail companies will not make these. There is no profit. They will just do the standard sizes and that’s it. When I worked in big retail, I had to fit woman that I had no bras for. So I tried to send them to specialty store for their own good. Needless to say that didn’t go over wth management well. But I cared about the women I saw, and I hated selling them things I knew were wrong for them. What kept me there, was when I could make a difference. Seeing someone properly fitted, and it making a difference in their self esteem was always a joy to me. I’m long retired, but I miss it everyday. Good luck to you😌

I’m sold! I’ll try it out :)

Thank you for doing the Lord's work. LOL.

Which store did you go to? I also live in Sweden

With inches, I thought I was 34b, turns out I’m 32DD! Same story as yours with the fitting.

I had the same experience! I was actually very lucky, as I was too shy to ask for help and was just taking some bra's to try on when the lady noticed me. So glad she saw me, stopped me and educated me!

@@straw1berry11 Sorry for the late reply, just saw this now. I don't live in Sweden anymore and I'm not sure the store even is there anymore, was in a town in Blekinge.

@@josefinholgersson596 That's fine

I did the same thing earlier and just slipped on the pasties I always carry; good enough and so comfy!

Army😁💜

Saaaaaame here Army 😭💜 no bras at home & soooo comfy

ARMY spotted!!

Wish i was unconscious about it as well😵😵😑😑 but without a bra i feel them while i walk and its not the most comfortable thing...

I might have gone braless... when I was 18. Now it's too uncomfortably to me, I simply need them.

Mine ache all the time and are miserably sensitive. Seems to be linked to a nerve disorder I have.

I prefer to wear one and I have small boobs. I would feel kind of sloppy and uncomfortable if I went out without a bra. That's just me though and I totally get why some women want to ditch them. I just hope this doesn't result in the pressure for NO women to wear bras. I hate how the clothing industry expects us all to conform like a heard of lemmings.

🙋‍♀️ bigger boobs are not comfortable swinging around. It's just the truth for us chesty ladies...especially in our 50's.

Me too lol

Thanks for watching!

Could they be embarrassed to laugh in front of the camera.

I thought so too

She's so funny. When my mom gave me the bra talk it was so cringy. She should be giving moms notes lol

Maybe most were taking her seriously about it ALL

Such is the way when onstage '-) I think it's just the stage mic isn't picking up their reactions clearly. Harsh tho, I felt for her, but then realised she's likely getting good visual feedback that we can't see :-)

I thought she was saying or pointing out that 1930's bra is basically the same as a 2018 bra. So why would the 1930's bra be more comfortable?? Both bra should be about the same discomfort.

@@katiekat4457 I also assumed she was comparing them more on a surface, design-based level rather than specifically implying that the bra of the 1930s would be more comfortable or longer lasting. However, the fabrics used at the time and the construction of the garment would likely have led to them being more supportive overall and possibly more comfortable as a result. They would have generally been made of woven, natural fibres, and so -- for the reasons she did mention here about such bras -- they would have likely been at least more supportive. I'm not sure they would have been necessarily considerably longer lasting, however, as the original poster indicated, since the fabric would still stretch over time, but woven fabrics -- especially when cut and stitched together appropriately -- certainly do stretch less than the already stretchier, often non-woven fabrics used in modern bras. So they likely would have lasted somewhat longer at least. Plus, since corset making techniques were still in living memory (i.e., with it having been a more mass-produced rather than more niche garment only a decade or so before), they likely would have used more of those clever techniques in the actual construction of the garment, which would have resulted in being able to shape and structure the garment via the way the fabric pieces were cut and how they were then stitched together. Not having studied this extensively, however, I can't be sure of that supposition, but it's fun to consider! Anyway, apologies for the long comment, but it was an interesting topic to discuss. So I hope you don't mind too much!

True. They weren’t made in China.

Not to mention how much less costly

Well the original bra was a corset, it helped with back problems and wasn't so uncomfortable. The bra was something men liked better because they could r*pe women easier.

Oh, I have an underbust corset from Orchard Corset that I bought a few years ago. I like wearing it for a few reasons, one of which is because it helps support my back. After I wear it for a day, I'm honestly more eager to take off my bra than my corset, lol. I want to get an overbust corset for this reason.

... Brilliant!

where do you live ? are you sure you need to travel so far?

What’s the name of her shop?

Must be nice to be able to afford it

Tell us more about corsets please!

What kind and brand do you use?

Where do you buy them??? We need answers 🙏🏽

Okay! So to start, I thoroughly recommend doing more research than just this post. I bought mine on Corset Story. They are cheaply made and I don't really recommend them because it's hard to get the fit right from a mass-manufactured corset. If you have the money, try to buy one custom-fit from an independent seller on Etsy or a personal website. Corset Story will try to get you in with a 4 for 1 deal, but that's not really helpful if only one (sort of) fits you. One is enough when it comes to corsets. Other Info: 1. ALWAYS wear something underneath it to prevent chafing. A camisole works fine. Natural fibers like cotton or linen are best because they breathe. This also protects the corset from you because you should NEVER wash the corset. If you send it through the machine it will be ruined. Spray it with vodka if you must. 2. This was more of a wardrobe change than I expected. Your typical skinny jeans are not going to fit over them comfortably. I switched to more high-waisted pants and skirts with more room in the hips to accommodate the bulk of the corset. 3. Corsets (or "stays" for anything pre-1850s or so) come in a lot of different shapes. To get a good idea of what options you have, look into 18th century stays, Regency stays, 1860s corsets, and Edwardian S-Bend corsets. In general, the more you learn about the historical side of corsets, the more they'll make sense. 4. Do research on how to "season" a corset. Like leather shoes, they will form to your body over time, but it has to be done gradually. Don't lace up your corset all the way the first time you wear it or you might damage the boning.

Redthreaded is a small, female-owned company that makes both ready-to-wear and custom corsets. They are not cheap--individually made items aren't--but they should last years.

Marek Dluzniak All kidding aside, Jara van Berkel commented that “this is what happens when men design a women’s product”. And I agree. However, By starting online companies with Bras designed by women for women, Bras are now being designed that are changing everything. Companies like Adore me etc. However, many of the great women owned bra companies are being put out of business by Chinese imitators who are paying people to make bad comments about the US women’s made products, and phony good comments about the poor quality imitations for sale on Amazon. The same is happening to every innovative product sold on Amazon, Chinese or Korean imitators with unbelievably high 5 Star ratings on Amazon: Tip. Be sure to read and give more credence to few bad (1 out of 5 stars) comments on the products that have real high ratings. And research the owners and designers behind the bras, are they indeed women, is the company in an non Asian area? I recently watched a video on Amazon Prime how Chinese imitators are killing the original companies started by hard working women, using computer generated, as well as paid good reviews for their products, and paid bad reviews for competitors products.

Thank you very much!!

@@michaelslater6839 Really great point, I have also noticed that most of those phony reviews will be made around the same time frame and have no recent comments. I have decided to stick to brands that I know because every time I get duped into ordering from those brands I am highly dissatisfied.

She literally talked about sister sizing for about 1/4th of the talk....

Gravity will get you whether you wear a bra or not because gravity doesn't disappear when you put on a bra. Your bra supports from the bottom up, but does nothing for the mass of flesh sitting on top pressing down onto the bottom. If you have a big bowl of refrigerator dough, the bowl supports the dough from the bottom. But the weight of the dough pressing down on itself will collapse the dough from the top down.

My grandmother, widowed at 30 with 5 children under 10, had to earn her living. She started a corset shop. She had fitting rooms, and doctors would send her customers that needed quality, personalized fittings. I started wearing a bra ( fit to me by her) when I was 11. Playing jump rope, running, hurt. There wasn't much there but it needed support. I don't like the feeling of skin on skin, so I wouldn't not be comfortable without a bra. BUT, new ones every year, at $40 or more!! Well I guess you could have a bra savings account. :)

🤭🤭🤭

Everyday, and no bra. Amen. 38D I have actually thought of trying the Japanese wrap bra because I just couldn't take it anymore and I am allergic to half the materials they use under the armpit area which causes me rashed. I just said F it one day.

@@KimberlyBarkdoll I have a lot of things that cause me rashes, and it's hard to find good stuff. I have some unpadded bras that are basically just tee shirt material, and those I find the most comfortable when I want a little support, but not too much. I have some of the stretchy sport ones for when I go on hikes, or even just on the bus because some of those bumps aren't fun. Usually I prefer wearing a camisole under my shirt that's a bit tighter rather than an actual bra. I think people don't look at the option that you can still wear things underneath, it just doesn't have to be bra in the traditional sense.

Warm hands please!

That is actually an ideal design, somebody make it already👍🏽

Have you seen the ta-ta towel? It's a cool design I'd love to see used with other fabrics. No torso strap 😉

@@yep4704 interesting! I'd want it hooked in the middle maybe? Many things it could be worn with

@@miniaturecreature pretty sure no guy will want some fake hands on "his" lady

Ummm it is😂

I agree. Not in the US and although I wish I didn't have to wear one, I also don't feel comfortable not wearing one.

@Luisa Carmen yeah until my husband had a complete psycho melt down because men can see my nipples. Ha ha.

A lot fewer women I know wear bras now, after being free of them for so long in lockdown! Lol! (semi lockdown and working from home is still ongoing in UK).

Join me in the movement. Change starts with you! It can even be one day a week on a weekend. I usually go without one unless it’s some egregious event. It’s really their problem, not mine. Get some friends who are more evolved about this too, that’s key

Yes! Love your analogy!

bras come in over 250 sizes and like shoes (length and width) bras come in band and cup- so not one size at all :)

@@lindasagman7849 victoria’s secret says size a to d take it or leave it 🧍‍♀️

Damn. You were definitely wearing the wrong bra. No shoulder sores or shallow breathing due to my bra for me...

You went swimming in your bra?

My bra definitely doesn't give me sores on my shoulders. Also I play flute and don't think bras affect my breathing. But it might be different for you.

The first time I did not wear a bra,it shocked everyone into silence.

I actually got two different jobs bc I was very liberal at the time and went bra-less. (and wearing a see-thru blouse that matched my suit probably helped, lol)

28HH? Is that even possible??

me the same. I now sew my bra, but medieval style. I had the most pain because I have kidney issue. wen I wear the bra I do not get air.... if you have big Brest as we have, just not wearing a bra is not an option. everyone stare at you even if you wear tshirt 5 times bigger then your size, they swing and everyone is starring ... wishing you a great day from germany

you go girl

I've been yelled at by strangers in public for not wearing one and had the most common question in my workplaces be about me being braless. Those who don't respect themselves can't recognize people who do, friend.

My sister used to get angry at me for not wearing one in the house (I was wearing a shirt of course). Due to COVID she has now stopped wearing them too. Bras have always made my back hurt and it had gotten to the point the pain was beginning to become unbearable. I'm glad I can relax in peace now.

good question John

because like dogs we are easily distracted 😅 😂 🤣

One of my favourite quotes that might sort of answer this question (although I know it doesn't fit 100% perfectly) is "Maybe you dumbasses wouldn't feel emasculated by feminism if your manhood was rooted in something other than the oppression of women."

Johanna Lauterbach- Great quote, I read it to my 14 yr old son then asked him what he thought about it. It resulted in one of the most important and valuable moments I can remember sharing with him. We had the coolest conversation, it gave me hope for him and his generation. Thank you. 🙏🏽

John Gayton Marek Dluzniak All kidding aside, Jara van Berkel commented that “this is what happens when men design a women’s product”. And I agree. However, By starting online companies with Bras designed by women for women, Bras are now being designed that are changing everything. Companies like Adore me etc. However, many of the great women owned bra companies are being put out of business by Chinese imitators who are paying people to make bad comments about the US women’s made products, and phony good comments about the poor quality imitations for sale on Amazon. The same is happening to every innovative product sold on Amazon, Chinese or Korean imitators with unbelievably high 5 Star ratings on Amazon: Tip. Be sure to read and give more credence to few bad (1 out of 5 stars) comments on the products that have real high ratings. And research the owners and designers behind the bras, are they indeed women, is the company in an non Asian area? I recently watched a video on Amazon Prime how Chinese imitators are killing the original companies started by hard working women, using computer generated, as well as paid good reviews for their products, and paid bad reviews for competitors products.

Did not know any of this. I have greatly underestimated the struggle

Are people weird about it?? I know I shouldn't care but I feel like other people wanna know too lol

Why exactly is it that YOU as a GROWN FREE female LETTING someone tell you ANYTHING? A free country means that...I go around without a bra all day, unless I have to be "professional". No one tells me I can't and let them try. MOST people just leave me alone. I've never heard any complaints...I wouldn't care if I did. I'm RETIRED. Why should YOU care either? It's YOUR body. We SHOULD be modest, for respect to ourselves, but be free with what YOU wish to wear or not. If THE males in your life have a problem with that ask THEM if it were a "social norm" for THEM to be ASKED to TUCK their package all day...WOULD they?

@@noneyabusiness9570 I agree with everything you said - except for “modest”. That is a loaded word for me - laced with religious , moral and patriarchal undertones that I think we as women have been conditioned to believe - but it’s just a belief and nothing more.

From the comments I see it's not just men. There are women who aren't just compliant but believe it's the way it should be. I've never understood that. They don't seem to be brainwashed so there must be something they get out of fighting to preserve a dying anachronous social order that plenty of men want rid of as much as women do.

In Western nations, women have as much, if not more, freedom than men. In a professional setting, men are usually expected to wear suits and ties. Women can wear suits and ties if they want, but they generally can wear dresses, blouses, high heels, earrings, makeup, and the like. In addition, women usually have more options when it comes to hairstyles; women can have short, medium, or long hair. In a professional environment, men generally have to keep their hair short. Please name freedoms that men have in the West that women do not have.

@@iqi616 Does a fish know it's swimming in water? Does it think about the water or does it simply live it's life in it's environment? There are cultural and societal norms that people don't even think to question, because it's part of the way the world is, and in a patriarchal society women are often just as misogynistic as men. In this system a lot of women enforce the norms on each other.

When you figure out a good pattern, sHarE please.

Katya Bradova Truth! Why are those little snowflakes posting because “huh huh huh boobs!!” Dear Beevis and Butthead, You don’t have to type something.

@Anonymoose and folks there we have it...

It can be annoying and maybe that's because SOME of us girls are constantly trying to tell men everything they do is wrong? A guy once posted on a chat, "If I'm in the woods I say something, and there is no woman around am I still wrong?"

I'd be twice as rich as you if I had a dollar for every time a woman felt she needed to have her say on a man's issue.

@@MrAranton yeah.. no "equality" there, huh.. just double standards

Thank you for your support, happy to hear you enjoyed the talk!
