Is it Bad to Sleep in a Bra?

If you’re tossing and turning at night, wondering if the bra you’re wearing to sleep is somehow causing you harm, please know that you’re not alone. 

Folks around the globe constantly question the supportive garments they wear to bed, but we’re here to provide some comfort and solace in these confusing times. We got you, boo.

Is It Bad To Sleep With A Bra On?

Let’s get this out of the way: If you feel more comfortable sleeping in a bra or bralette, you should absolutely do that. Comfort is key, and every body has different needs. 

Plus, there’s nothing wrong with wearing a bra or bralette to bed. It won’t have any adverse consequences, unless you’re not washing it regularly. But that’s a whole other issue. 


Bras can be a little restrictive to sleep in, especially if they have padding or underwire. That’s why we like to sleep in bralettes. Supportive without being restrictive, our Bralettes are super-soft and perfect for bedtime. We have tons of types of Bralettes to choose from that come in gorgeous colors and hand-designed prints, with sizes ranging from XS to 4XL.

Is It Beneficial To Sleep In A Bra?

If it feels better wearing your bra or bralette to sleep, that’s clearly a great benefit. Other than that, there aren’t really any other reasons to. It’s truly a choose-your-comfort type of adventure.

Does Wearing A Bra Prevent Sagging?

Nope, it’s a myth. There’s really just no proof either way that wearing a bra vs not wearing a bra causes sagging, so do whatever works for you!

We hope this vital information helps you sleep a little sounder, with a bralette on or without. Remember, you know your body best, so listen to it and you’ll be just fine. Love you.
