is it healthy to wear a bra to sleep? what are the effects, positives and negatives? Does wearing a bra constantly prevent breast growth and development?

Most studies show that wearing a bra inhibits he draining of the lymphatic system which is located in our boobs, because a bra tends to constrict those channels. Most medical research now believes that it's better and more healthy to wear a bra as infrequently as possible, and recommend that if you wear one during the day, you should take it off as soon as you return home. It appears that it's definitely more healthy to sleep without it, at the very least.
many studies are looking into the relationship between wearing a bra and breast cancer, and although the findings are far from definitive as yet, it does appear that there is a much lower incidence of breast cancer among people who limit the time they wear a bra. Those findings appear to be cross cultural as well.
Hope this helps.

I saw this on a Tyra Banks show. She had on a famous gynecologist from the LA area and she said wearing a bra to sleep prevents sagging. So I assume it is perfectly fine to wear a bra to bed!

It's absolutely healthy. It's an old wives' tale that it will hinder your breast growth and development. I've worn a bra to sleep in every night since I was 10, and I developed into a 34 dd. If you feel more comfortable sleeping in a bra, you should feel free to do so without worries of harmful effects.

no, only if its a sports bra.the ones with under wires are very painful.it doesnt effect breast growth, but it can have painful after. depending on how hard the under wires are they can break a rib in your sleep!!

Its not good to wear a bra to sleep. Its harder for ur blood to flow. And its harder for ur breasts to develop. So I suggest u dont.

I really dont think u should wear it to sleep b/c you have to allow your breast pores to breathe. Your blood needs to flow.
