I wear the same underwire bras I wear during the day. Generally the molded cup ones, too. I’m a 40-I, if I can find it, although generally I have to settle for a G cup, and even those have to be ordered online. There’s a 10 inch difference between my bust and underbust measurements. I can generally get away without a bra for a single night, but if I try to take it two nights in a row, my pectorals (minor and major) are unbelievably sore the next day.
Even back when I was “only” a DDD cup, I had the same problem. Believe me, I’ve done enough pec strengthening to fly, but it still hurts to go without a bra for long.
No bra to sleep in, no shoes in the house (not trying to start that! again) because of my mom.
She always liked to take off shoes at the door, and when she went into “comfy” mode, the bra was the first thing to go. I can nap in the bra, but it still pokes because I usually wear underwires.
I’m a 32 D, which is a weird size - it sounds large, but my Mom’s 38DDs could knock me unconscious. So the boobs are the size that I prefer wearing a bra while awake but not asleep. But I can understand a larger-busted woman preferring to wear a soft bra to bed. Underwires, not so much.
No way I’m going to wear a bra to bed. I won’t go without one when I’m up and about - it’s too painful. But when I’m down for the night, I want minimal constraints.
Plus my husband wouldn’t like it, and we know it’s all about keeping him happy.
Can’t sleep in an underwire and won’t wear one a second more than absolutely necessary. I do have a couple of cheap t-shirt material sports bras that aren’t that binding - actually, they’re more like training bras for big girls - that I wear to bed occasionally, but they’re so comfortable that they hardly count.
I do have one friend who not only sleeps in her bra, but refuses to take it off when she’s having sex. :eek: She’s got some issues, that one.
I do, sometimes. I did all the way through high school until I moved out to college, and I still do occasionally. It depends on what I was doing right before I went to sleep. If I had just taken a bath prior to sleeping, then no, since I was bra-less. If I had gone somewhere else/had a reason to wear a bra, then I would just put my t-shirt on and sleep with a bra.
Like some other posted mentioned, I was told to use a bra as long as possible to attempt to fight gravity. I found out, though, that it was more comfortable for me to wear bras than to not. I don’t like my boobs to hang loose for too long, it bothers me. I want them under control.
I sleep with a bra on sometimes. I don’t find it too uncomfortable but I don’t want to wear out my bras any faster than I have to. I don’t think there’s any real benefit to wearing them to bed but sometimes I get the idea it will prevent sagging. I also sometimes just manage to forget to take it off. I think I’m equally comfortable either way. It’s like underwear. Sometimes I wear them to bed, sometimes I don’t. I don’t really have a preference and even though I suspect one way is more correct than the other, I can’t bring myself to make a final decision.
No way no how never. Ugh. I even hated it when Spencer was first born, mostly because all the padding in the world didn’t keep me from soaking the bed. I eventually put a towel under the sheet and changed it every day.
I know several women who do. At one time, physicians recommended specially-designed “sleep bras” for women with fibrocystic disease. I’ve been out of the field for several years, though, and that may have changed.
I don’t have big giant boobs, and so usually wear sports bra/training bra/undershirt/lined camisole type things rather than itchy underwires or any of that.
I just don’t like the feeling of them being too “free.” It makes me feel gigantically fat.
I see a lot of women on TV and in movies wearing two tank tops and a bra in bed. Always thought that was weird, but I guess they’d be ready to go out in a hurry.
I always wear either a comfy bra or a tank with a built-in bra to bed. My boobs aren’t huge, but I’m much more comfortable when they’re kept relatively still.
I have always worn a bra to bed, and they’re underwires, too. I’m not particularly large, but I don’t like the feeling of walking (or lying) around without everything…strapped into place, so to speak. I also never feel uncomfortable in a bra unless it’s too small or the underwire has worn through the cloth and is stabbing me. Otherwise, I don’t feel it at all.
