And does it make any difference to sagging if you do?

knickers without bra makes me feel completely exposed Grin

I can let my flaps flap around all over the place, but not my boobs

nowt so queer as folk...

TequilaMockinBird · 12/06/2012 22:13

I never wear a bra in bed and I'm a 38JJ!

I feel too restricted in a bra, I prefer to let them all hang out Grin

i am a 36g and i have never worn a bra in bed!I hate wearing bras but wear them during the day for obvious reasons,but at night i cant wait to get them out!I doubt it makes any difference to sagging tbh.

Don't you get spots around the strap area?

lambethlil · 12/06/2012 22:32

Smoking = saggy boobage Confused Shock
No bra, but I'm AA. I think they're non saggy as I can do the pencil test.

AnyFucker · 12/06/2012 22:46

frontpaw, nope

AgathaFusty · 13/06/2012 08:09

No, never. Sounds very uncomfortable.

smokinaces - would these be any good?

Mikyahrose · 13/06/2012 09:20

agatha & smokin

My mum has those Genie Ahhh Bra's. She's big boobed too, she says they are not supportive as such, but are good comfy loungin around bra's. They are what she puts on in the evening. So may do the job for sleeping in.

Becky2011 · 13/06/2012 09:41

I wear a strappy vest with one of those inbuilt boob support layers. I have also worn bravissimo night wear which has inbuilt soft bra - very comfy, I would recommend - more comfy than normal bra by far!

imnotmymum · 13/06/2012 09:43

Depends on what planning Wink

boredandrestless · 13/06/2012 09:53

I wear a bra at night, I'd say 95% of the time. Big boobed, they are starting to drop a little but seen as I sprouted D cups at the age of 12 thats hardly surprising, they've been fighting gravity for years.

If you're bra is so uncomfortable you breathe a sigh of relief when you take it off then you are wearing the wrong bra!

HazleNutt · 13/06/2012 10:20

good point bored. I was breathing a sigh of relief when after a recent surgery, I finally managed to get a bra on

bamboobutton · 13/06/2012 10:25

i wear a vest with a hidden support band thingie, have done since my teens as i hate feeling them wobble.

TobyLerone · 13/06/2012 10:58

Hell no! D cup boobs, as pert as can be expected for their size. My bra gets removed as soon as I'm in the door from work!

QueenOfAllBiscuitsandMuffins · 13/06/2012 11:03

yes, it's the only thing I wear as i hate my boobs but the rest of me is acceptable. DH thinks it's his birthday when I take my bra off. My issue.

ZZZenAgain · 13/06/2012 11:06

I have never done it and never heard of anyone wearing a bra in bed before. No idea if I would have a different shape if I had worn one

TobyLerone · 13/06/2012 11:35

Wearing a bra but no pants is very, very weird.

spottymerlin · 13/06/2012 11:42

I stopped wearing bras all together about 18 months ago. I now just wear a vest that I shorten into a crop top type thing - just to stop my nipples showing through my clothes! I'm a 36 B/C.
I was concerned about the flow of lymph to the breast area after reading the increased incidence of breast cancer and bra wearing.
I haven't noticed them sagging, but I do hold onto to them if I jog up the stairs, and I do wear a sports bra for jogging.
I figure saggy boobs when I'm old is better than no boobs due to a mastectomy!

QueenOfAllBiscuitsandMuffins · 13/06/2012 12:37

You should never wear knickers to bed, my mum told me it's important to have time to let air circulate down there Hmm and my mum is always right.

CamperFan · 13/06/2012 12:39

Wearing a bra without knickers is just , even putting your bra on before your knickers in the morning feels v uncomfortable to me. I don't wear a bra in bed, but I do wear knickers. I didn't used to, only since having DC. Not sure why: perhaps to avoid having anymore, perhaps because I have to wander around the house at night seeing to DC and I feel I should have pants on?

CamperFan · 13/06/2012 12:39

Oh, well no air circulation down there for me queen.

chipmunksex · 13/06/2012 12:53

I wear crop top things or I've got a couple of stretchy bandau bras I got cheap in matalan, it's just comfier.

Under my pyjamas with my knickers on; thankfully my knickers do not form an aitight seal like a lock and lock box and air still managaes to circulate.Hmm

mammanetta · 14/06/2012 11:06

to all of you who wear bras in bed - do you wear your normal daytime ones complete with wiring etc, or some other softer, unwired, cotton and more 'bedroomy' one? Am curious...

QueenOfAllBiscuitsandMuffins · 14/06/2012 15:05

I wear a sports bra as that's what I find comfortable, but then that's what I wear during the day as well.

I think the advice is to NOT wear underwired at night, but I might just be confusing that with breastfeeding.

AnyFucker · 14/06/2012 19:10

mammanetta, I wear an unwired, soft special "bedtime" one Smile
