Is it OK to remove bra at night?

Published in Breast Health 1 min read

It is generally considered fine and even advisable to remove your bra at night. Sleeping without a bra allows your breasts to breathe freely, which can help prevent skin irritation and promote better skin health. Additionally, wearing a bra to sleep can restrict blood flow to the breast tissue, potentially leading to damage over time.

There are a few exceptions to this general rule:

  • Post-surgery: If you have recently undergone breast surgery, you may be advised by your doctor to wear a supportive bra while sleeping to promote healing and reduce swelling.
  • Comfort: If you find that wearing a bra to sleep is more comfortable for you, there's no reason not to do so as long as the bra is not too tight or restrictive.
  • Moisture: For some women, wearing a bra to sleep may help absorb moisture and reduce friction.

Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to wear a bra to sleep is a personal one based on comfort and individual preferences.
