Do you/should one wear a bra in bed?

[atticusclaw2]

I never have but mine are starting to hurt without the support. Is it normal to wear a bra in bed ?

[flatmouse]

I never used to, but was conscious of when we were away with friends and lounging in PJs that something was required. I just got a set of crop top type things which give some support are v comfortable and not too hot. My size and size on pack don't match but trying on meant that it was OK.

[verenti]

I don't wear an actual bra to bed but I wear one of these. Just that and pants as I don't like wearing much in bed! They are very soft and comfortable. I am a 32D so not big chested.

[Smurfingreat]

I never used to wear anything in bed until my boobs started hurting without support. I now wear PJ tops from Bravissimo, pricey but so comfortable and buy bottoms from the high street to cut down on cost.

[atticusclaw2]

I hate this ageing thing!

[Squooshed]

Wouldn't wearing a bra 24/7 inhibit lymph drainage?

Not a doctor so may be talking absolute codswallop.

[Daffydil]

I wear a vest top with "hidden support" - basically an integrated crop top. I find I can't sleep without any support though.

[hiccupgirl]

I have either the secret support type vest tops that M&S used to do but I know get them from Sainsburys or Debenhams or the same soft bra top under a tshirt that verenti linked to.

I started wearing them when I was pregnant 6 yrs ago and just find it more comfy to sleep with a little bit of support but I am an F cup.

[quesadillas6]

I wear a non-wired bra in a slightly bigger size than I actually am. I started when I was pregnant and preferred it to going without so have stuck with it.

[ShelaghTurner]

I have enormous boobs and have never slept in a bra. I couldn't. By the end of the day I'm desperate to take it off and have never felt any pain.

[atticusclaw2]

Actually that's a thought, I bet I have some comfy bras somewhere from when I was pregnant.

I have never worn a bra in bed but my boobs are now distinctly sagging due to age and the fact that I BF both DSs. They're not quite large enough though that they support themselves if I lie on my side, hence the pain.

[Queeltie]

I would be worried if this would cause health problems. I may be wrong though.
Would it be possible to support them with cushions?

[atticusclaw2]

Nooo!!! I can't have boobs so saggy that I have to support them with cushions!!

[Greenteandchives]

I wouldn't but then I have pert 34Bs.

[User543212345]

I wear soft crop tops marketed as sports bras that give as much support as a toothpick. Normally from H&M or Primarni. I find it stops the Miranda clap effect

[Elledouble]

I do, cos I'm breastfeeding and if I didn't have breast pads in then I'd wake up very wet . I've got a soft crop top type bra from Asda that was about £6 that might be enough support? It's very comfy!

[hugoagogo]

I wear those sainsburys ones- very comfy and frequently in the sale.

[ThursdayLastWeek]

At 12weeks pregnant I have just started to wear a bra in bed - it's just too painful flopping them around every time I turn over

[LovelyFriend]

I'm a G cup and I wear a stretch long vest to bed usually - surprisingly supportive. Certainly enough to sleep in.

"Nightwear" as such, with no support has never appealed to me or made sense. All those lovely floaty or silk nighties - all I can think about is my free range boobs being very uncomfortable in them.

So I wear stretchy vests - and PJ bottoms in the winter.

When BF I did sleep in ultra soft feeding bras on occasion. But I can't imagine its good for anything to be wearing a bra 24/7. My boobs really need a break.

[specialsubject]

wearing a bra, day or night, has absolutely NO health implications good or bad. Wear one if it makes you more comfortable. Don't if it doesn't.

[Bunbaker]

A pert 32B here. Never worn a bra in bed.

[Hopefully]

I wear crop top type things. I think mine are sloggi

[Shonajay]

Nice boasting bunbaker!

It can't damage you health wise, unless it's ridiculously tight. I wear a soft crop bra from eBay, I have a few they're so cheap, and have had cancer so lymph nodes gone and I've never had any problems. I have quite large breasts and I don't feel comfortable wearing nothing, also if the door goes and I'm in my nightie I don't look like I'm soliciting! Breasts are just fat tissue, so they will sag without support.

[Bunbaker]

Not boasting sadly. I would love more curves

I only graduated to a B cup recently after one of the intervention threads on here. I wore a 34A for years.

[Queeltie]

specialsubject - I thought women who didn't wear bras had less incidences of breast cancer?

[atticusclaw2]

Bras increase breast cancer risk? surely not? We would have heard about that one and everyone would have switched to doing a Charlie Dimmock.
