Sleeping in a bra has always aroused a lot of controversy. A lot of myths have already arisen around this. Some people believe that sleeping in a bra can contribute to the development of breast cancer or inhibit its growth. Others, in turn, claim that thanks to this we will protect our bust from sagging. What’s the truth? Can we sleep peacefully in a bra? Below, we explain all the ambiguities.
- Women with large breasts decide to sleep in a bra. They usually do this for hygiene and convenience
- However, there are many voices that sleeping in a bra does not help breasts and may even be harmful to them

Some may feel disappointed with what we write. There is no medical evidence as to whether we should sleep with or without a bra. It all depends on our preferences. However, if we decide to sleep in a bra, we should remember about a few important issues.
Sleeping in a bra – advantages and disadvantages
Of course, the most important thing is the selection of the bra. Try to make it a soft, cotton, sports bra without stiffeners or underwires. Otherwise, you may be subject to painful pressure. Sometimes the underwires also stick into the body and cause unpleasant sensations, which can disturb your sleep. What else should you remember?
«Just make sure your bra is the right size and fit to prevent infections such as mycosis under the breasts. It can occur if the bra is not placed correctly under the breast, causing the skin to touch the skin »notes Dr. Regina Hampton, founder of Breast Care in Washington.
Sleeping in a bra is especially suitable for women with large breasts. A soft bra is able to limit breast movements, which relieves breast pain and increases the comfort of sleep.
This also applies to women with implants. “Sleeping in a bra can be helpful as long as it is soft and does not cut off the circulation,” said Dr. Terri Ann Samuels, a certified urogynecologist. “This may allow the implants to be lifted for longer,” he adds.
We also emphasize that sleeping in a bra has no side effects. “There is no published evidence that sleeping in a bra will cause breast cancer, poor blood circulation, or inhibition of breast growth,” says Dr. Samuels.
Unfortunately, we also have some bad news. Sleeping in a bra will not prevent your breasts from drooping. Gravity and age still do their job. This is mainly because Cooper’s ligaments, also known as suspension ligaments (ligaments that support the breasts) stretch over time, leading to sagging breasts.
However, there are ways to delay this process. First of all, you should bet on a large dose of physical activity and a healthy lifestyle. Give up tobacco, normalize your weight, and your breasts will thank you for it. You can also use Anka Dziedzic Bust Serum, which has firming properties.
