Why You Must Not Wear a Bra While Sleeping




Everyone seems to have different opinion. This is one debate that will rage till eternity.

While most ladies avoid wearing a bra at night to prevent marks, the “constricted” feeling and even the fear of blocking the lymphatic glands leading to breast cancer, there are the religious nighttime-bra-wearers (like Marilyn Monroe) who strongly believe that it prevents their breasts from sagging.

There’s no scientific evidence to support this theory both of these assumptions are myths at best.


Lymph nodes in the underarms act as natural filters that drain the breast, and are the body’s first defense against infection, foreign material, and cancer cells. They are like filter, cleaning out the lymph fluid.

Studies have not been able to prove that wearing a bra constricts the pathways of the lymph nodes. Sleeping in a bra is just a matter of woman’s personal comfort or choice as long as it well-fitting and give a more comfortable night’s sleep.  So get the breast cancer fear out of your mind.
