Should Women Take Off Their Bra When Sleeping? Experts Explain
Sleep is one of the most important foundations of good health. For women, a common question often arises: should you wear a bra to bed, or is it better to remove it before sleeping?
While some women believe wearing a bra at night helps maintain breast shape, others feel that removing it is more comfortable and healthier. To answer this, let’s explore medical insights, expert advice, and practical tips to help women make the right choice for their own comfort and well-being.
Does Wearing a Bra at Night Affect Breast Health?
Medical experts agree that the decision to wear or not wear a bra while sleeping is a matter of personal comfort.
-
No link to breast cancer: The American Cancer Society confirms that there is no scientific evidence connecting bra use—day or night—to breast cancer risk.
-
No proven effect on sagging: Breast sagging is caused by natural factors such as age, genetics, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. Sleeping with or without a bra does not prevent it.
In other words, there are no medical risks to taking off your bra before bed. The choice depends on what feels most comfortable for you.
