FACING rude criticism about her body, a mom decided to get something off her chest: her bra. Permanently.
Then, she shut down any more crude comments about the fashion habit that’s “changed her life.”
Mom and fitness fan Haley McConnell (@haleyupandcoming) used her TikTok account to challenge others’ expectations of her wardrobe.
In a video, she questioned the online commentary and proudly flaunted her chest.
McConnell filmed herself getting ready for the day in a cropped tank top and loose-fitting shorts.
As she reached up to put her hair in a ponytail, a caption appeared across her chest.
“You can’t just go braless when you have big saggy boobs,” it read, reiterating a comment McConnell had heard from critics.
Finishing her look and shrugging her shoulders, McConnell mouthed along to her background music.
“Why not?” she lip-synched, effectively brushing off the concern-trolling.
“I don’t get it,” she reiterated in the video’s description.
She even established a hashtag to represent her new campaign: “Free the saggies,” McConnell wrote.
In the comment section, McConnell explained that going bra-free had radically changed how she felt about her body.
“It’s literally changed my life,” she elaborated. “I used to be so obsessed with hating them and wanting a lift.”
One commenter said she was too scared to go braless with her own “saggy” chest.
“They will be down to my belly button and hurt my back more,” she fretted.
But others agreed that McConnell’s way of life was the most comfortable and sustainable.
A proud member of the bra-free club bragged, “Three years for me.”
Another said she doesn’t bother putting on a bra before starting her day.
“It’s called working from home with the camera off,” she wrote.
