Recently I started sleeping in my bra. This is the only way my boobs are comfortable now.

A little about myself. I'm 28 and a 34D. I had breast augmentation almost 10 years ago. Now that I have lost so much of my natural breast tissue. I seem to need extra support for the implant. Maybe I need stronger pec muscles? I used to be a part time bra wearer. Never had one on at home or just a tank top with the built in bra. So I'm having mixed feelings about feeling the need to always wear one.

So ladies, do you wear a bra to bed?

Age and bra size please. Just because I'm curious.

    Oh gosh, no. Honestly, unless I'm out in public, I HATE wearing a bra. I take that silly thing off once I'm home and let my ladies breathe.

    I sleep in a bra. I like them to feel secured and not bouncing or rolling around. I'm 28 and a 36 B, almost a C.

    I have always slept in a bra....36C. I hate the feeling without it. Plus I think it has helped keep them perky as well. Mine are way better after having two kids than some people who haven't had any. I think it helps!

    As you get older, the ladies get droopier. I would also say if your that uncomfortable already, I would talk to your Dr about it. the weight loss is one factor, your only 28, when you get to 47 or after a baby, the tissue gets even less supportive. there are some camps that say wearing a bra all the time will keep them perky, beats me.

    I am 47yo, 34B (didn't even get to a C cup when pregnant) I take off the bra as soon as possible. I often wear sports bras around the house cleaning and stuff, but in certain clothes I can still get away with NO bra. Being small has its advantages (FYI, I could workout without a bra until I was 20yo)

    No. 30F.

    If you're not feeling like you have enough support:
    a.) perhaps there's something at play with your implants.
    b.) perhaps you do need to strengthen your pecs, lats, etc.
    c.) you're in the wrong bra size.

    38yo. Bra size 36H bordering on 34J (that's 36G in American sizing). No, I don't wear a bra to bed - it would compact the girls too much and make me feel as if I'm sleeping on rocks (I sleep on my front.)

    37, 34DD or 34D (depending on brand).

    My bra is only on when I leave the house or have company (and sometimes not even then). Mine are not implants, though.

    No. I only wear a sports bra if I'm going to be doing some sort of moderate/heavy activity. I don't even wear them when I'm just out shopping or whatever around town. I only wear sports bras.

    ETA: I have no idea what size I am since I don't wear regular bras. The last time I did (many years ago) I was a 38DDDish.

    Bras are expensive, and sleeping in them is not good for them.

    Plus I don't sleep in anything, it's too restrictive.

    41, 32DD.

    I just don't see how sleeping in one is going to help much, they're designed to give support against the vertical drag of gravity, and lying down sleeping, changing positions, I don't see what advantage it would give. Not to mention being abrasive against your skin, and underwires can give you pressure ulcers.

    Hi,

    I'm a 10G and I have never slept in a bra. However, my aunties told me recently I should because they think it may prevent gravitational pull. After I have children I think i'll get them done anyway (my size will not look good in another ten years).

    Never! I'm a 36DD and I don't think bras are comfortable to sleep in.

    I remember sleeping in a bra once and my boobs were so painful the next day. I think I heard somewhere its bad for them to sleep in a bra..

    Im all natural so maybe its just the implants making you uncomfortable
