What do you do when you're having a bad bra day? You just can't seem to find the right bra. Nothing feels good. Your bras aren't fitting right. You put one on, you take it off. You want to go back to bed.

Maybe you have your period. Maybe you didn't get enough sleep, or you're stressed, or you're coming down with something. Whatever the case, you aren't feeling up to facing the usual getting-dressed thing. It happens to all of us. Give yourself a break and consider the alternatives.

Here are some options.

A sleek, comfortable cami. This is a great solution if you need a first layer but can't bring yourself to deal with an underwire or wireless band. Slip it over your head and you're done.

Spoil yourself with one in very soft fabric, like the Talco from Cosabella (my top pick, above). And while you're over there, Cosabella is having a 25% off sale on bralettes right now too. Just saying.

Or if you need more support and mild compression, you can opt for a gentle shaping cami like the Daily Shaping Cami from CURVEEZ. Shapewear with mild to moderate compression is great for support without having to wear a bra, or for when you're feeling a little swollen on period days.
A cotton undershirt like kids wear. If you're having trouble with pain or or not wanting any pressure against your skin, look for one that is 100% cotton, thin and lightweight with no stretch.
Nipple covers. I like the silicone kind because they don't show under clothes, and in my experience they stay on all day and are comfortable to wear. However, if you have very sensitive skin you might do better with cloth.
Nothing at all. Yes, this is entirely acceptable. Depending on your work or school environment, you may need to expect some backlash if you wear a uniform in which people will notice that you are not wearing a bra.

However, worse things have happened. If your boss gives you trouble, tell them that last I checked, being a woman was allowed.
