    I usually wear my bra to bed. I have sensitive nips and often times my shirt will rub em raw.

    Totally random question, but how many of you sleep with a bra on? Not a full underwire pushup bra but either a sports bra or something like that?
    Even though I don't have much going on up there I gotta sleep with something on under my t shirt...just a quirk of mine. Everyone I know thinks I'm nuts ( I am ), so I was just wondering if I'm the only bra sleeper out there lol.

    I only wear one to exercise in. But I've read several studies that say women who wear bras to sleep in tend to have a higher incidence of breast cancer.

    Ooooh, that sounds so uncomfortable. I try to take mine off as soon as I get home. And if it takes too long to get home, you might find me taking it off in the car. I have upset a number of other drivers and truckers by taking it off on the beltway :laugh: The girls need to be free at night!!!

    Riley I nearly choked laughing while reading your post. Gosh we could be sisters. I used to take mine off coming home from work in a downtown Houston office. And after that, I was a long haul truck driver. Drove my DH nutz. He would be looking up from the sleeper and there I was ripping that danged thing off. He nearly died the first time he saw me and of course there was a raucus on the CB. But hey, I was yanking 80,000# around the country and I wanted to be comfy.

    As far as sleeping in one of those confining things - no way. Did when I was younger but stopped years ago when my doctor said NO! Not good for you.

    no I don't. you should wear one (light support no underwire) to prevent sagging and stretching. I remove my bra soon after I walk thru the front door. I wear one to work out in though.

    Most of the time I do, depends where I am and who I'm with :) It's not uncomfortable at all. (Surely bras should never be uncomfortable?!) lol :)

    I agree, it's way too uncomfortable to sleep w/ a bra!

    omg no! those things only go on when i'm leaving house (and in winter only if where i'm going will have me taking all the layers off) and they come flying off the very second i walk back into house.
    sleeping in one would be hell.

    we both spend 99% of the time inside house in just t-shirt and undies year round (okay nothing if it is a real hot summer night, lol). but shoes, socks, bra, pants, all are for outside only.

    How does that even work? What about a bra would give you cancer?

    I hate sleeping with a bra on, it's so uncomfortable. But sometimes I will wear a cami, it's loose and not really tight; just on those nights it's cold and i want an extra layer of clothing. i've heard that it's not healthy to sleep with a bra on just like it's not healthy to sleep with underwear on. the only time i'll sleep in one is if i'm anywhere other then my own house.

    edit: gotta let your body air out at night!

    I...not healthy to sleep with your underwear on? Uncomfortable, maybe. Ill-advised, possibly. Unhealthy, though?

    I started sleeping in a bra when I had roommates, because I have the tendency to get up several times during the night to use the restroom. Ever since then, it's just become a habit. Now that I have my own apartment, I might have to start sleeping without it. LOL There isn't much there anyway!

    This might be because I barely fill out a-cups, but I don't even wear bras ever day, let alone at night!
    It's not as if I'm a weird, anti-bra hippie, I just don't really NEED one all the time, unless it's cold or a see through shirt or a shirt that I need a super pushup padded bra to hold up (yes shirts slip). hahahha flat chested :/

    maybe girls with bigger boobs tend to wear bras to sleep (for support or something I dunno?) and they also have more area to develop cancer... more cells multiplying= greater chance of error in replication right? So it could be confounding variables. ORRRRR maybe they tend to catch it more?

    No bra I actually sleep in my birthday suite. I heard that sleeping with your bra on increases you chances of getting breast cancer. So ever since I heard that I have slept without.

    Interesting. Physiologically I'm trying to figure this one out. Anyone else heard this? Have links? It doesn't make sense in my head, but it's also nearly midnight and I've been up since 6 AM.

    Allegedly it's related to the metal in the under wire, not the bra itself.

    Yes. I'm bigger (36D), but I have to. I pretty much need that support. There is the occasional bra-less night, but overall I have some kind of bra on.
    ditto

    If I happened to be wearing just a comfortable sports bra that day, then I won't go out of my way to take it off before bed, but I always take my underwire bras off as soon as I can just because I don't want to bands to stretch out any more than they have to. My boobs are plenty perky, I just love the way they look for the first few hours of a night out when my bras are still nice and tight. After that, the bands get a little stretched and they don't have that same "boost".

    Uncomfortable ... So nope

    This. I'm at home for crying out loud... And, I don't ask my husband to wear a jock strap to bed either...kind of the same idea.

    I'm a C cup and I can't stand sleeping in a bra! I'm not saggy, though, so I might have a different opinion if I was...Some ladies are describing a lot of flapping. I could see why you might want extra support if that was the case.

    I am a 34E and I cannot sleep in a bra! Only during those specific days of the month when breast is really sensitive I wear a spaghetti strap top that has hidden support so it is comfy and keeps the girls in place.

    If I am home for longer than a half hour, the bra is coming off.

    Me too, mine pings across the room into the laundry basket. Or gets stuffed under a cushion out of sight lol.

    :laugh:

    I wear nothing to bed. Only way I feel comfy. Nothing more makes me feel good like soft bed lines touching my skin.

    Ahhh I couldn't sleep with a bra on! I sleep on my tummy...it would be uber uncomfortable! I either sleep with a vest/t shirt on or nothing!
