Viy Cortez Reveals, 'Minsan Hindi Na Ako Nagba-Bra,' And Moms Can Relate

Remember the feeling of panic whenever a delivery rider knocks on your door, and your bra is nowhere to be found, so you cover up with a towel instead? Or that shock after going for a grocery run or sending your child to school, and when you arrive home, you realized you were braless? 

You are not alone! Because of the tropical weather in our country and the hassle of wearing it, women, and moms, with the question: To wear a bra or not to wear a bra?

This question is a matter of personal choice. Whatever makes you feel comfortable, then go do it. However, nowadays, many moms have shifted to not wearing a bra. They say they have become accustomed to not wearing a bra after motherhood, especially when they are breastfeeding.

"Pinakamahalaga sa akin yung kapal ng tela… at maganda ang style." Viy Cortez 

Even Team Payaman's Viy Cortez could relate! When Smart Parenting asked the vlogger how her fashion style changed when she became a mom, Viy said, “Kapag mommy ka na, ang pinakamahalaga ay makakapal na tela kasi minsan hindi na ako nag-babra, diba?"

"And madali yung acccess… Pinakamahalaga sa akin yung kapal ng tela… at maganda ang style," she added during the SHEIN's second Pop Up showroom opening in the Palm Drive Activity Center in Glorietta 2, Makati City last March 30.

3 reasons why women go braless

We agree with Viy. Here are the top 3 reasons why women, in general, choose not to wear a bra:

1. It's more comfortable. Period.

Bras often have underwires, built-in foams, or tight straps, which women find uncomfortable. Choosing to go braless often helps women feel less restrained and more relaxed.

2. It is perfect for our humid weather

Having humid weather makes wearing bras feel sticky and uncomfortable. So we don't like it. In case you don't know, bras have expiry dates.

3. It boosts your confidence

Being used to wearing a bra makes you feel exposed when you are going braless. To those who have been used to going braless, once you get used to it, it makes you feel more confident about how you move and dress up.

In a world where body positivity is becoming a norm, going without a bra allows women to embrace the bodies they are in.
