🤔 Should You Wear Your Bra to Bed? 🤔
Myth #1. Wearing a bra to bed keeps your breasts perky.
Lots of women seem to believe this one, but is it really true? Is it really as simple as wearing a bra to sleep? Unfortunately not. According to Dr. Dan Mills, vice president of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, “a bra will hold up your breasts to give you the shape and look you want, but it can’t prevent further sagging, which is caused by age and gravity.”
Myth #2. Wearing a bra to bed will cause your breasts to sag.
“Wearing a bra or not wearing a bra to bed doesn’t change the fact that these are all physiological changes that happen to your breasts over time,” said Dr. Amber A. Guth, breast surgeon and an associate professor of surgery at NYU Langone Medical Center.
Myth #3. Wearing a bra to bed will cause cancer.
According to the American Cancer Society, lymph fluids travel up and into the underarm lymph nodes, not towards the underwire. Wearing an underwire bra that’s too tight can restrict the flow of lymph fluid, but there is no evidence to suggest that it will cause cancer.
Myth #4. Wearing a bra to sleep can give you fungus.
This one is actually possible--but very rarely so. There is a type of yeast infection that can happen due to yeast overgrowth in the folds underneath or between your breasts. But for most women this is never an issue.
