If you have ever wondered if is it bad to sleep with a sports bra or otherwise, here is the answer.
Although bras are basic necessities for most women, there are some details about them that we do not know, such as how often they should be washed or even something as basic as what exact size corresponds to us.
And whether or not we should sleep with them. This includes sports bras that many girls wear to feel comfortable in pajamas. Well, it turns out that it has some contraindications that no one has told you.
We tell you why it is bad to sleep with a sports bra
A constant concern in the lives of many women is the appearance and shape of their breasts, which can become saggy after breastfeeding, due to weight changes or just because of the passing of the years.
That is why many women sleep with this garment, thinking that in this way they can prevent or counteract in some way that the bust falls, but what do the experts say?
“Let’s think about this from a scientific point of view. Sagging is caused by the downward pull of gravity on the breast mass. This is why larger breasts sag more, as there is more fat within the tissue for gravity to work with.
When you’re lying down, the effect of gravity pulls the breast tissue toward your chest, rather than toward your toes. So wearing a bra (whose goal is ultimately to support the breasts from below) is essentially redundant in bed, as the breasts naturally compress downwards onto the chest,” Dr. Seth Rankin told Cosmo.
Risks of sleeping with a bra
- Discomfort: Your breasts could be oppressed, causing skin irritation, which could be precisely what prevents you from sleeping well and waking up rested.
- Cysts and/or tumors: Studies have revealed that excessive use of the bra could cause circulation problems and inflammation, which favor the formation of cysts and tumors.
- infections: Going to sleep in this garment for so many hours can cause the temperature of the breasts to rise quite a bit and cause excessive sweating, which can lead to infections and/or allergies.
- Saggy breasts: Several scientific studies indicate that wearing this garment at night can cause the breasts to sag more, as Cooper’s ligaments and skin muscles, which are the natural support of the chest, stop working and lose their firmness.
- Garment damage: This garment can deform while you sleep with it and then it will not fulfill the objective for which it was designed, that of giving support and shape to your bust.
