this one's obviously for the female species. i'm asking because i heard that this would prevent your mammary glands(i used this term intentionally so i don't have to change my preferences in my profile) from sagging, specially when you're nursing. what do you think?

I sleep with my bra on. I did not before I became a mother. I is pretty much necessary when you are first nursing and then it seems to become a habit and now I don't think I would be comfortable without.

it's really just a matter of what you're used to and not aesthetics, huh? i do understand that. thanks for sharing your views.

Yes, I sleep with my bra on. It does not have wires so it does not dig into my flesh. whether or not I'm nursing my baby from my mammary glands, the bra remains on. Somehow , I feel uncomfortable if I take them off when sleeping :)

wireless bras are okay. it would just feel like you're having a half shirt on. it's the wired ones that i cannot stand....

i'm not sure about that, but i don't wear a bra when i'm sleeping primarily for comfort :-)

yeah, right. we wouldn't want all those wires and straps poking us everywhere whenever we turn, right?

As a rule I do not wear my bra to bed. I think of two reasons why for me anyway, one reason it is so uncomfortable!! Secondly I am still nursing my twin girls to sleep and even at night time I take off my nursing bra it just is more comfortable!!

yeah, i can just empathize with you. as i said before, what we, women, have to endure in during our entire lifetime.

Yes. I'm not comfortable without it. Also, my aunt who brought me up always said, what if something happens like an emergency or a fire and you go running out and everybody sees you and you don't even have your bra on...

Most of the time I do sleep in my bra, it is just what I am used to. My girls need support 24/7. I absolutely had to sleep in a bra after giving birth. I didn't nurse but had to wear it to help the swelling and pain.

i gave birth to my youngest almost 5 years ago, and i can still feel the heaviness and the pain that goes with nursing. and i had to change a lot of times coz it made me sticky and so uncomfortable! sigh, what women have to go thru....

I used to go braless at night but during nursing I couldn't or I would wake up soaked with milk. I opted for the nursiing tanks though that are much like cami's so they were comfy to wear to bed. Now that I am done nursing I take it off the second I get in the door and don't put it on until I go out again.

and they say that women are the weaker specie. they just don't know the many sufferigs we go thru, even with underwear alone.

Oh gosh NO! ROFL I can barely stand a bra during the day, there's no way I could sleep in one :) Right now, I seem to be countering the "saggy-situation" pretty well, in spite of my age, so until they decide to stop fighting gravity, I will prefer to sleep comfy! ;)

lol! good answer! nothing beats comfortable, huh? i'm just lucky that i have small ones coz it's hardly noticeable when i don't wear a bra.

plus the underwires are so painful, makes you feel battered, right?

Nope, I can barely stand wearing a bra when I'm awake and moving around, so I think that wearing a bra to sleep would just drive me batty. I've never even heard anything about bras preventing sagging if worn during your sleep. It's an interesting theory however.

i wonder, too, if there's some truth in it. i mean, sagging should be the least of our worries, keeping in mind the possibility of getting cancer from wearing a too tight bra, right?

Yes,I sleep with my bra on, Im not comfortable when I am not wearing one.

oh, weel, maybe it's a matter of what you're used to right? for me, it's the opposite. when i get home from work or from the mall, it's the first thing that comes off.

I don't sleep with them on. I like to comfortable when I sleep. I don't like anything strapping around my body. I also view this as resting mg mammary glands (borrowed your term) because I wear bra the whole day.

@joshdale08 (2320)

yeah, right! that's exactly how i feel. when i take them off, i feel free, if you know what i mean. it's such a relief.

It is so uncomfortable sleeping with the bra on so I remove them even when I am at home doing chores.

that's okay. it was the same with me, too. and aside from the bra, i also stuffed pads in there for extra security. lol!

I've never heard that before. For me, it just depends. Most of the time I sleep without because those stupid underwires dig into me!
