Is it ok to wear a bra at night, because my mom died and my dad told me to take it off, but he won't explain why i should. can somebody please explain it? the only thing he said was that it had something to do with the growth of your boobs

it might be ok. but it's better if you don't, he's right, the growth of your boobs will be affected because the bra cuts off the circulation.The boob won't grow at the same rate as it was before. so if you keep wearing it, then your boobs will be smaller than they should've.

It's recommended that you don't wear underwires at night, as the way you sleep could cause them to dig into your boobs and damage them. It's uncomfortable anyway. Try a sports bra, or a camisole with hidden support - that will give you support, but it's safe, and more comfortable.
No offence to your dad, but he's probably just trying to validate himself as a father by giving you advice, he probably doesn't know that much about it. Still, don't be afraid to ask him for advice about other things you would have asked your mom. And I'm really sorry you lost your mom - I have friends who's moms have died and all I can say is that I hope you have your family and friends to support you :)

It's okay to leave a bra on at night if you want to. The breasts will continue to grow with or without it. It would be nice to let your skin breathe a little and not have strap or metal indentations on your body. Perhaps you could wear a camisole top or sports bra if that would make you feel more comfortable. Sorry about your mom.

Yeah your dad is right. Wearing a bra does restrict the growth of your breasts if you are a growing teen. For adults, wearing a bra to sleep builds up toxins in the body and may lead to cancer. I try not to wear bra at home only when i go out. It's healthier and more liberating that way. Try also exercising bra-less, helps to make your breasts bigger. Hope my advice helps!

there is some evidence that bras constrict the blood flow into the breast. altho it is not proven, it is thought that this can cause breast cancer in some women. i read an article once that suggested such a thing. if you google bras and cancer you can probably find information.
the article said that women should wear bras as little as possible, that underwires are worse than ones with out underwires and that you should defiantly not wear them to bed. and that the best bra is the sports bra that is completelty made of cloth. you should try to give your body as much freedom of blood flow as possible.
my grandmother died of breast cancer and i can tell you, it makes you worry. i try only to wear a bra if needed like at work and for appts. other than that i fly free. the article also said to massage your breasts after wearing the bra for several hours to help positive blood flow.
i am sorry to hear about your mom,
you should read as much information as you can so you can make a positive decision that is best for you.
blessings,
lily

That's because some bras are too tight that when we sleep it become tighter. They exert pressure in our boobs. And one more thing: taking it off, prevents you for having breast cancer. At night, we may perspire, and as it dries up, it goes from the same part of the body where it came from. SAy, the sweat from your breast seeps through the bra and the bra in turn channel it back to your breast. As we all know, dried sweat is not good for the body.

I usually sleep with my bra on, just because it's more comfortable. It wouldn't hurt to take it off during the night though, and give your breasts a little break. I'm sorry about your mom. : (

There's absolutely nothing wrong with wearing a bra at night! If anything it would just make your boobs extra perky...don't worry about it. I wear mine at night all the time.
