There are many lingerie firms that already include specific bras for sleeping in their collections with a clear objective: to prevent chest sagging and the formation of wrinkles. Without rings or hooks, without seams, in softer fabrics, with wide straps and in the same fabric as the rest of the bra... The keys to the perfect bra for sleeping are clear with a simple look at the options, but are there to really sleep in a bra?

Dr. Ángel Juárez, plastic surgeon and head of the department of plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery at Hospital La Zarzuela, Madrid, explains that "there really is nothing, written or proven, or studies, that shows that the use of bra during the night prevent breast sagging.Breast sagging has to do with the thickness of the skin, with the elasticity of the skin and with the ligaments of the breast.Over the years both the thickness and the thickness decrease elasticity of the skin and the ligaments become weaker and is, therefore, what causes the sagging of the chest. Sleeping or not with a bra does not influence the thickness, elasticity or ligaments."

Many firms affirm that women with a lot of chest are especially the ones who should not forget their bras when going to bed in order to avoid that this 'overweight' of the breast causes a greater sagging of the chest, the An expert clarifies that it is more a question of comfort than the negative effects of not using it: "In the case of very large breasts, it is sometimes recommended to use a soft, cotton bra without wires, because in this way the chest is more collected and more comfortable at bedtime, but not because it has an effect on hair loss".

However, if you are one of those who do sleep in a bra, but with the first one you catch, take note, because this routine could have a negative effect on your health.

"An inadequate bra at night can compress the chest, and small fatty nodules can be produced, or lymphatic drainage alterations can occur because the chest is being squeezed in some way," warns Dr. Juárez.
