What happens if u sleep with a bra on?
My best friend always tells me it's bad to sleep with a bra on, but sometimes I forget or I'm just too tired. Is it really harmful? What happens if you sleep with a bra on every night?

I have always heard conflicting things about this and felt a bit embarrassed to ask. Does it actually cause any harm to blood circulation, or is it just uncomfortable?

It is completely fine and won't cause any health issues, though a loose cotton one is much more comfortable.

My mother always advised me to wear loose clothes to bed to let the skin breathe properly. Medical doctors also agree that while it doesn't cause any disease, tight undergarments can restrict lymph flow slightly, so comfortable clothing is best.

Hey, relax, those internet rumors about it causing major illnesses are completely fake. Just do whatever makes you feel comfortable, but try to avoid tight underwires at night so your skin doesn't get irritated.
