Home is where the bra isn't - what a great motto. Because, to be honest, the feeling when you get home and can finally take off your bra is quite liberating. At least for some women.

Sleeping with or without a bra - that is the question here.
But there are also many women who feel naked topless and would prefer not to take off their bra at all. They wear it not only during the day but also at night when sleeping.

This can have many reasons. Especially women with larger busts feel more comfortable wearing a bra while sleeping. Also, the bra myth still circulates that wearing a bra all the time can prevent the breasts from sagging.

Basically, of course, it is up to each woman whether she wants to sleep with a bra or, rather, without. Nevertheless, we reveal what happens to the breasts when you sleep with a bra.

Wearing a bra against sagging breasts?
Does wearing a bra prevent sagging breasts or not? Plastic surgeons and lingerie experts argue about this.

Some believe that wearing a bra supports the connective tissue and muscles of the breast. Others say that wearing a bra always weakens the chest muscles, which can lead to sagging breasts.

Everyone agrees: Bras that are too tight or underwire bras should never be worn while sleeping!

Because if the bra slips during the night, unpleasant pressure points are created, which can lead to bruises, swelling, or, in the worst case, ulcers. This is because a bra that is too tight can impede the flow of lymph in the body. If this lymph fluid accumulates, it can cause said cysts.

Therefore, the experts' recommendation is: If you prefer to sleep with a bra, it's better to go for underwired bras or lightweight sports bras. These support the breast, but do not fit too tightly.
