    I wear a comfy one to bed every night. I like the support.
    Husband has no problem there. ;)

    I read a medically backed article that going braless is much healthier and allows your breasts to stay perkier as the muscles holding them remain stronger. I only wear a bra when I go to work.

    Pretty sure that's false.

    Pretty sure you are wrong.

    http://www.bustle.com/articles/138979-6-benefits-of-going-braless

    University of Franche-Comté professor Jean-Denis Rouillon conducted a 15 year study into the effects of bras on breasts in that period of time. He found that there were no benefits to bra wearing, and said, "Medically, physiologically, anatomically, the breast does not benefit from being deprived of gravity."

    In the same study, Roullion found that not wearing a bra actually made women's breasts stronger. The long term effects of not wearing a bra showed that more muscle tissue grew to provide natural support. Skip the weight machines at the gym, just throw out your bra! (Or don't, as the study advises those wearing bras consistently past a certain age won't reap the benefits of suddenly going braless — you have to start early!)

    Oh yeah that website is legit. :laugh:

    The website is irrelevant, the institute publishing the research is. But you believe what you wish it matters none to me.

    If women can't wait to take their bra's off because they're uncomfortable, aren't they wearing the wrong size? A well fitting bra should feel 'invisible'.

    Why would a bra feel invisible when other clothing does not?

    Because it feels like a second skin to me. Like i said, It's uncomfortable to NOT wear a bra for me, and I'm pretty sure I'm wearing the wrong size to boot, as I've never been measured professionally.

    Yep, but I have been measured professionally ever since I was out of college. Nordstrom is my BFF.

    I only wear a sports bra to bed if I'm planning on getting up early in the AM to exercise. I sleep in my workout clothes so I just add socks and shoes and I'm ready to go.

    I don't wear one to bed.

    Mine usually end up thrown in the back seat of my car. I can't be asked to wear them all day much less at night.. sometimes they end up in my purse while at work. I'm in shock at the number of people who "keep the girls locked up". Are they in jail?

    Totally a side note, but I wonder: If guys started a thread about type of underwear we do or do not wear to bed, complete with descriptions of the size of our package and how the support feels to us, would it be banned/locked?

    I have nothing against this thread (it's fascinating really), but I have to assume that men would not be granted the same option to discuss their manhood. Or, am I wrong? :/

    Try one and find out.

    "Guys, what keeps you comfortable at night?"

    I might just do that! However, there's a cultural double standard hidden here somewhere; I think that the discussion of "I have a large 8" penis and it's very uncomfortable for it to stick to my legs at night without support" is somehow less acceptable than "I have 34G breasts that I must keep from flopping around".

    Again, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with either discussion, just curious if MFP agrees.

    Mods? Thoughts?

    I do believe you have a point, certainly. There are gender differences in what is perceived as acceptable. There are also gender differences in society as a whole. I'm not saying it's okay, but then no one here is talking about keeping their kitten covered at night either. I suspect that may also get shut down fast too, depending on the attention grabbing title.

    We do regularly have threads regarding which is a better bra for running, without a male counterpoint. I guess the question is how unruly is the little guy?

    As a side note, if my boobs were sticking to my legs, I would be more inclined to wear a bra to bed. :laugh:
    lmao

    I had to read this a few times to understand. I thought you were talking about your boobs getting thrown into the back seat of the car....

    Different studies say different things. I think bras help women stay perkier longer. I cannot wear a tight-fitting bra to bed, but if wear a loose, shelf one. Otherwise, the girls are just too dang floppy. I just don't feel right.

    We all get saggy in the end, so do whatever makes you feel best.

    I wear a bralette to bed. It's probably superstition that it will prevent sagging, but I like wearing one anyway.
