Brandi Glanville‘s trading in bras and bikinis for a natural alternative … her pal’s hands — ’cause her friend is fully groping her in new pics she shared!

The ‘Real Housewives’ star shared the photo on her Instagram Wednesday night in which she’s holding a small glass of wine, with either sheets or a bathrobe wrapped around her waist.

No need for a shirt or bra in her room … BG’s friend, James Maas, has her back (and boobs) in the photo — gripping and lifting Brandi’s boobs.

The two strike a series of poses together — Brandi’s hair bunched up and pulled back, James’ face breaking into a wide grin … and, Glanville’s even pounding wine in one photo.

Brandi captioned the post, “Sometimes you need a helping hand from a friend ! … that’s why I picked up my @usualwines – go get some and use my link.”

BTW … Brandi’s face looks great in these pics — she’s been consulting with Dr. Terry Dubrow to deal with her unexplained health issues causing facial disfiguration.
