    I have to wear a bra in bed at night at the moment as im breastfeeding and if I didnt wear a bra they would leak everywhere (still do sometimes even with a bra on) But before I had a baby I would take my bra off as soon as I came in from work, as others have said its the best feeling taking a bra off after a long day at work! (plus I got big bangers so strapping them in can be uncomfortable!) Nothing better than going bra less in the comfort of your own home in your jim jams! God I cant wait til I can do that again!

    I have always worn a bra in bed unless asked to remove it or it has been removed for me ;)

    I have fairly average sized boobs i think, just gone into a C cup when i got pregnant. As a teenager i had a terrible fear that i would end up with saggy boobs that would resemble fried eggs. I think if you have bigger boobs they dont look so bad when the go south. So i decided to wear a bra in bed too.

    Im 25 and my boobs are still great. I dont think its due to my age because ive seen girls my age on telly (embarrassing bodies and sex ed show) that have saggy boobs. It may be genetics or it may the fact i wear a bra most of the time. Who knows? Im certainly not taking any chances though. The minute i found out i was pregnant i went looking for maximum support maternity bras to hold the extra weight securely, once they've gone south there's no getting them back.

    Me too in fact I could have written this whole thing LOL!! I love breast feeding but can't wait until that day when I can go bra less in bed!:D

  • I remember reading that it's important to take your bra off at night to let the lymph nodes drain. I can't comment on how true this is not being a doctor, but I'd still rather take it off anyway!

    I disagree. See post 24

    droopy boobs is more down to hereditary factors than whether you wear a bra or not or the size of your hooters.. the hormones of pregnancy loosen the ligaments which hold them in place which is why wearing a supportive bra in pregnancy is advised.. breastfeeding does NOT make your boobs droopy.. that is a myth!

    I have an ample bosom but still wouldnt dream of wearing a bra in bed.. it is uncomfy for a start.. I hate wearing one during the day at the moment... they are like torture devices ! The only time I wear a bra to bed is when breastfeeding in the early weeks when you need breastpads in as well.. if there was a way round it I would have found it by now!!

    Thios can't be a size issue preference, those saying its uncomfortable if you are very large not to wear a bra....my mother prefers to be braless (though wears a bra by day)and hers are very large, and I'm an f cup :( and like taking mine off at the end of the day and don't mind wearing my bra during the day, both are equally comfortable, and I mainly wear a bra to support them, because they don't hold them selves up that well!...I don't think I'd like sleeping in a bra at all.
  • I'm 32FF but couldn't wear a bra in bed. I wear wired bras and have tried non-wired bras in bed only to be kept awake due to heat rash.

    I'll let them swing free. :D
