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...

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.
