Chest creases

31 replies

suestew123 · 01/08/2015 23:34

Hi all, I have bad chest creases from sleeping on my side, do any of you suffer with this and if so any recommendations other than the silcskin chest pads, they do help but I am after a more permanent solution.

Thanks

Watching with interest, it stops me sleeping properly when I keep rousing and adjust myself Grin trying to help!!

Well I am off to bed now, but hopefully we will have some answers by morning Hoolit :-)

eh?

isn't this just what bodies do as we get older, get creases?

Do you want chest botox or something?

ouryve · 01/08/2015 23:57

Is this a thing, then?

GobblersKnob · 02/08/2015 00:00

Is it from side sleeping or sun? I don't have any and have slept on my side always, sleep in an UW bra though, and generally stay out of the sun, so no help really :)

How does it stop you sleeping?

Hoolit · 02/08/2015 09:24

Cos whenever I turn etc your kind of awake, well then I consciously try and lie so I don't have creases. If I lie on my side without putting my under shoulder back I get creases that take hours to disappear in the morning.

Sleep on your back?

bigglesgoggles · 02/08/2015 09:43

Also watching in hope for a solution/reduction in creases!
Yes, it's a thing.
But maybe only for those of a certain age who's breasts are perhaps of an ample size with a degree of age-related-movement!

Used to like wearing v-neck tops and shirts but now pair them up with scarves to hide the creases.

You can get little foam sausagey things for putting between your breasts when you sleep. Never actually tried them, though.

It is a thing unfortunately, I have tried the padded chest bra as well, but my boobs are not ample and it rides over them so doesn't really work :-)

I am 47 by the way and have had them for quite a few years but now they seem a permanent thing.

I wish I could sleep on my back but it's not something I have ever done

I always meant to get something like this, but never got round to it. I've just accepted the chest wrinkles now but I do wish I'd nipped them in the bud earlier

TheHappinessTrap · 02/08/2015 10:46

I've just moved away from V-necked things, it's all crew necks or scarves here!

ToFringeOrNotTooFringe · 02/08/2015 10:47

Does anyone sleep in a bra? Not thought to do that before but would be a lot more comfortable.

knackeredknitter · 02/08/2015 10:57

resolves to check for chest creases.........

knackeredknitter · 02/08/2015 10:57

Luckily my age spots detract from them quite nicely

burnishedsilver · 02/08/2015 11:03

I'm in my mid forties and never heard of chest creases before. I'm off to check my chest.

lurkingaround · 02/08/2015 11:12

God all that breast pillow thing and bra wearing in bed sounds so uncomfortable. And I'm not sure how they would stop wrinkles developing. Surely the wrinkles are from loss of collagen and elasticity within the skin? Not from a muscle contraction, which theoretically might be stopped with a pillow, bra, etc. Not sure a pillow would delay the onset of those type of wrinkles.

Maybe I'm wrong and I'll be crying into my wrinkled chest soon....Grin

burnishedsilver · 02/08/2015 11:21

Ok. So I've done a Google image seach for chest creases. I know what your taking about. There are lots of articles about how to get rid of them. It seems lasers are the way to go.

Thanks burnishedsilver, I expect that is expensive but worth it if it works

So are they more common in women with larger busts?

suestew123 · 02/08/2015 12:36

I don't think so Pupsiecola, I am quite small and have the creases. It's because I sleep in the foetal position

Don't know about you but sleeping on my back makes me want to pee!

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 02/08/2015 14:22

Grumpy is right, it's just a thing that happens as we get older.

burnishedsilver · 02/08/2015 14:54

I wonder if glycolic toners and retinol creams might help. They're certainly helping my face.
