Many women prefer to sleep with a bra on. But we shouldn't ignore that it can have some potential side effects. Let's find out.
Uncomfortable
Wearing a bra at night can be uncomfortable and it can impact the quality of your sleep.
Skin irritation
The bra's straps and bands can create friction as you sleep, a problem which is exacerbated by sweat. This can irritate your skin.
Increased Heat
A bra is a tight garment. Wearing it can increase your body's temperature at night which can cause discomfort in falling asleep.
Blood Circulation
Wearing a bra impacts blood circulation in your breasts. It can harm your chest muscles as well as your nervous system.
Doesn't Prevent Sagging
It is a widespread myth that wearing a bra to bed can prevent breast sagging. However, this is completely untrue.
Fungal infection
Bra bands and straps can trap sweat and become the breeding ground for fungus. This can cause fungal infection under your breasts.
Conclusion
If at all you feel more comfortable sleeping with a bra-on, it is best to purchase one with a good fit and breathable fibre.
