Sleeping in your bra. Options

[manny-the-dino]

so...
in one episode of tyra, she said that we should sleep in ours bras to prevent our boobs from sagging.
but...
i was talking with my friend about this & she told me that her mom said not to sleep in your bra because when you sleep you should be comfortable meaning you should wear clothes that are not tight on you. she also told me that sleeping in your bra causes cancer.

so what's the dilio?
right now i'm not sleeping in a bra because of what my friend said. & my aunt has breast cacner so i'm scared...

[Gigi]

Okay.

Tyra is on crack because a bra will not prevent your boobs from sagging during your sleep. A bra does prevent your boobs from sagging during the day, because it's prevent your boobs from moving southwards where gravity wants to pull them...so you wear a bra to push them back up.

But think about it...when you're lying on your back, your boobs will be flattened out, regardless of what kind of bra you're wearing. Actually, it might work to wear a push-up bra with tons of padding to push those bad girls up. But do you really want to wear that to sleep?

Wearing a bra to sleep will not cause cancer. It will just cause discomfort, especially if you're wearing one with the intent of having perky boobs.

I mean, there's some stuff I uncovered online about bras causing cancer, but it all sounds to me like a load of crap. I guess if you're actually worried, stay away from wearing a tight bra.

[mizzkewl06]

i don't wear a bra to sleep. i remember my mom telling me when i was younger that you shouldn't sleep in a bra (or anything tight) so that the blood circulation in your body isn't being obstructed. i'm not too sure about the cancer thing. i doubt it, but you never know. i say just be comfortable...

[ArtofBreaking]

Excuse me, have yall seen Tyra's boobs? Take her advice.

[Gigi]

Tyra also happened to be a supermodel. That is the very definition of hitting the genetic lottery. A bra in her sleep didn't create that.

[Insurmountable]

I agree with gigi completely.

Tyra is crazy, don't listen to her I don't sleep in my bra personally, its uncomfortable.

It's generally a good idea not to sleep with a bra on because it can interfere with good circulation and easy breathing.

If you're putting in overtime with your bra to preserve perkiness, that's a total myth. Bras don't preserve the shape or perkiness of breasts. Sagging results from a number of factors unrelated to bra wearing, such as

• breast fat and tissue composition
• softening of breast ligaments and loss of breast tissue with age
• enlarged breasts during pregnancy, which causes the skin to stretch even after they revert to pre-pregnancy size.

[DoubleJ]

A few girls that I know, swear by sleeping in their bras.

[starsandhearts]

I sleep in my bra because its comfortable and I know if I sleep walk nothing will reveal...hopefully <_<

you make a very good point; i never really thought about that.

[karmakiller]

LOL, Tyra's boobs sag. She was playing with them when she was trying to prove that they are real. There's your proof that it doesn't work.

I would think it would be really uncomfortable. There are some days when I can't wait to get home and set them free.

[JokeInsideJoke]

i dont sleep in my bra. its really uncomfortable i dont think it causes cancer or stops your boobs from sagging

[AimeeLynn]

I wear my bra because I forget its even on me.

[laurellesions]

it is IMPOSSIBLE to get cancer from sleeping in a bra. there is no way for an item of clothing to cause you to make cancerous cells or to form a tumor. it just doesn't work that way. but it's possible if you sleep in underwire that cuts into your breasts for long periods of time [like every night for years] it can cause a mass. it's not cancer, just fat. but most people wouldn't do that due to the discomfort.



i sleep in a bra. i feel more uncomfortable not wearing a bra than sleeping in one. but that's just me.

[foxx]

I wear my bra because I forget its even on me.

[x-hotchocbun-x]

my mum tells me not to wear my bra at night while sleepin

but i do

coz i dun like it

n she told me that it causes cancer too

but im not sure

well..

i sleep with my bra now

[lkajsfklajskds]

Yea, I forget I'm even wearing one so I completely forget to take it off. But my aunt says to. My moms just says to change to like a real loose bra. Like..a non padded one, i guess

[aaayotiffany]

i don't sleep with a bra. because i like being comfortable when i'm sleeping. and my mom told me not to because its bad, so i don't.

unless i'm on those overnight trips and i have to share a room or a bed with a friend. i usually wear a sports bra to sleep, but my sports bra aren't tight so i'm still comfy.

and i've never heard about the getting cancer when sleeping with a bra. thats just the most odd thing i've ever heard, lol.

[karmakiller]

LOL cancer from sleeping in a bra. No. Cancer starts on the inside of your body, not the outside.

[Sprague]

My mom told me about wearing a bra to sleep can cause cancer, too. She's a nurse, so I naturally believed her.

Although I still wear one to sleep, because I'm too tired at night to take it off. I'm a lazy soul. =s

[Anephoria]

My mom also told me not to sleep in a bra last year because it doesn't benefit anything. So I sleep with out one and I've noticed my twins' growth has triggered some ._.

Honestly, I want to sleep with a bra again...but it's so uncomfortable...

[tokyo-rose]

Wearing a bra to sleep does not cause cancer.

Sleeping without one is more comfortable.

[Luna5]

My boobs aren't that big so I'm not going worry about a sagging problem until I have kids or I'm in my late 30s.

Plus wearing a bra to bed isn't going to save your boobs from sagging. Just wear the right fit bra will and well if you're boobs are really huge like melons then your S.O.L. because they're going to go down hill fast any way.

[*absinthe*]

I can't stand sleeping without one. It annoys me.
As for Trya..

[Glamourouz]

I sleep in bra sometimes & sometimes I don't; it all depends...I don't listen to any of the myths...real breast are gonna sag regardless, big or small, so whatever...

[manny-the-dino]

I can't stand sleeping without one. It annoys me.
As for Trya..

hahaah
janette, ily.

[TiffanyFactorial]

okay i'm going to clarify this for natalia because both my parents are in the medical field and i love tyra but she's an idiot on this subject matter.

first of all, sleeping in a bra that has an underwire is not something a girl should do, especially because if it's really tight, it may cause some pressure upon circulation around the breasts which could lead into a mass like laurel has stated or it could cause blood clots in extreme cases. normally, sleeping in a bra causes much discomfort and if you do sleep in a bra, you should be sleeping in a really loose one but i don't see why people sleep in bras even if they're lazy, it's just something you don't do. it's kind of like sleeping with your regular clothes instead of your pjs. you're supposed to go to bed with loose clothes for comfort reasons and for blood circulation. if you're going to sleep in a bra, sleep in a cotton one or something. or just don't do it.

there has been some research that most women who develop breast cancer all have worn bras. so you could say that bras cause breast cancer, but that's speculation. and it has to do with the tight bras and blood circulation factors.

Tyra makes this point to sleep in your bra so your boobs don't sag, but I don't know about you guys, but when I sleep, I'm laying on my back which doesn't exactly allow my boobs to droop. Sagging boobs is caused by gravity and old age. So when you're up and around town, put your bra on if you don't want your boobs to sag, but a bra can only prevent your boobs from sagging for so long as you grow older.

bras @ night will not prevent anything, but it COULD and MAY result in poor circulation of the blood around your breasts.

i hope that helps, natalia. :) i'm pretty sure people have already had their say in this.

[Flaunted]

i only sleep in bras if i'm at somebody's house, but usually i just wear big tops.
I hate sleeping in my bra.

[rockable]

er no.. i dont sleep in my bra.. lol

[BillyShakespeare]

I've slept in my bra since I started wearing one.
Nearly 7 years ago.
I know, not long in the grand scheme of things.
For me, it's just more comfortable.
Of course, I wear sports bras to bed.

[DaCandy]

Excuse me, have yall seen Tyra's boobs? Take her advice.

Lol .. Anyway i do sleep in a bra and it doesnt makes me feel in anyway uncomfortable

[vintage-toile]

i only sleep in bras if i'm at somebody's house, but usually i just wear big tops.
I hate sleeping in my bra.

big tops all the way - boy shirts especially
no bra at night, i know its unhealthy...i guess its alright if you're flat chested. hm, not sure.

[superstitious]

Hell no. They like to be free when I'm sleeping.

[DoubleJ]

Hell no. They like to be free when I'm sleeping.

Proof nao or it didn't happen.

[Vyrrei]

I don't sleep in my bra.

[superstitious]

Proof nao or it didn't happen.

lol HELL NO. :P

[manny-the-dino]

wow i pretty much forget about this topic.
but thanks for the input on this, ladies; it's helped a lot.
as for me, i've stopped wearing a bra to sleep because like Rebs said, "They like to be free when I'm sleeping."

thanks again.

[Tomates]

she also told me that sleeping in your bra causes cancer.

Ok. Sleeping in your bra Does NOT cause cancer!
my mom and dad are both doctors
of course i asked my mom and not my dad

but it does not cause cancer!
i sleep in mine and i started to this year during school because i was lazy getting up in the mnorning and it was one less thing for me to put on

[Amber14]

I sleep in my sports bra and shorts at night.
i cant sleep with out my bra on it just dosent work lol

[Kay-]

I usually take off my bra or just wear a comfy one.
Unless im spending the night over at a friends place.
Also when im too intoxicated to remember/have enough energy to take it off.

[Sandraaa]

I take off my bra as quick as I can. I feel REALLY uncomfortable wearing them not to talk of sleeping with them. >< Nope nope nope.

[marzipan]

Ermm, well, I highly doubt that a bra would cause cancer. Wearing a bra to sleep won't make a bunch of your cells mutate and become cancerous. That's just stupid.

I don't wear a bra to sleep simply because I think it's uncomfortable.

[simplyytricia]

I used to sleep with my bra on but now i don't. It's too damn uncomfortable when i sleep with it.

My mom told me that sleeping with your bra on cancause cancer. Your boobs need rest, she says. So yeah, when i sleep, i sleep bra-less because i'm more comfortable that way.

[ley]

first of all tyra is an idiot about 100% of the time
ive taken alot of medical classes and believe it or not
this subject comes up alot
what goes up must come down so sagging is inevitable
but the answer is neither!
there actually is such thing as a night bra
which ends up feeling like of being the equivalant
to an undershirt that has a bra in it it lets u and ur boobs lol
relax during the night with out completely letting gravity take
over

[Aerjae]

yeah. ever since i heard it causes breast cancer i stopped. my mom said it wasnt true but... idk which to believe so i just dont sleep with it. there's a work out that you can do every five minutes of the day to prevent it from sagging. haha. i though it was hilarious when i heard about it but i do it just for the heck of it. ...especially when im bored. :D

[towntown2]

I sleep with my bra on.
On really hot days, I've slept naked.
I don't do that a lot because my mom likes to just enter my room without warning.

Your breasts can sag if you don't wear a bra regularly. But sleeping without your bra won't contribute to the sag, unless you sleep standing up.

Wear whatever you want to bed.

[MetalChick77]

I wear a sports bra when I go to sleep. I personally find it uncomf to sleep without one..maybe I'm just not used to it.

[Alisiabby94]

Me personally i sleep with one on, its just comfortable to me.

[Looow]

Ughhh I cannot sleep with a bra. Its so uncomfy

[bluelily]

I feel nasty, if I don't wear a bra to bed.

[paolabear20]

I feel so dirty sleeping without a bra at night.
Yuck, I just don't like it. I feel naked.

[Blyat]

ok so my friend also sayed that
i asked my mum and she said that a VERY RARE case to get cancer for wearing your bra at night
i mainly wear one at night cause my shirts ride up if i move around at night and im afraid someone will rip my sheet and BAM see me >////<

[Harp]

I sleep in a bra, because I can't stand things hanging about.

I guess it wouldn't bother me if I had smaller breasts, but I'm a 42DD, and it's extremely uncomfortable.

[mal0980]

I sleep naked
