The ongoing conundrum of whether to wear a bra while sleeping or not Let’s examine the pros and cons to see which are real and which are just urban legends.
Many women may advise you against wearing a bra while you’re in bed since it leaves marks on your skin, makes you feel confined, and may even increase your risk of developing breast cancer due to clogged lymph nodes.
Some women, like the legendary Marilyn Monroe, never go to bed without a bra because, as they’ve said, breasts can sag even while you’re sleeping. Unbelievable, what they do for beauty!
Whose judgment is correct?
Both of these, according to science, are myths. According to medicine, there is no evidence to support the claim that wearing a bra to sleep can clog lymph nodes and raise the risk of breast cancer. The lymph fluid from the breasts is drained by these underarm nodes, which also serve as the first line of defense against infections, foreign objects, and malignant cells.
Regarding the second assertion, breast sagging is not caused by wearing a bra; rather, it is brought on by aging, genetics, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. You should wear a bra that fits your size with soft cups, a few wires, and closures. This will prevent the breasts from sagging by providing support. The only “benefit” from purchasing a smaller size and wearing it in bed will be pain.
Both of these myths have been debunked by scientists: neither wearing a bra while sleeping nor forgoing one will reduce your risk of developing breast cancer. You can decide any way you want. The bra will provide you with some support if you have delicate breasts. Avoid wearing a bra if you have sensitive skin or night sweats because it will just make you feel worse.
Whatever decision you make, don’t forget to pick a bra that is supportive, made of natural fibers, has soft cups, and is well-fitted so that you can wear it while you sleep.
