Phoenix	Probably not, particularly if it's underwired. There is some thought that ill-fitting underwired bras may predispose you towards breast cancer. Who Knows? Best not to take the risk. Jon C Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

peekaboo	Yes and no. Apparantly it increases your chances of getting brreast cancer slightly, especially if it has underwire. But if you don't you're going to wind up with boobs agging down to your knees some day. I say do whatever is more comfortable for you. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

hotdoggiegirl	The Fiji breast study The connection between bras and the development of breast cancer was reinforced in a study conducted on the Fiji Islands. In 1997, medical anthropologist Sidney Singer compared the incidence of breast cancer in two groups of women in Fiji. Half of the women wore bras and the other half went without. The diet, environment and lifestyle of both groups were the same. Singer discovered that those who wore bras had the same rate of breast cancer as American women. Those who went bra-less experienced practically no breast cancer whatsoever. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

His Angel	I saw this on a Tyra Banks show. She had on a famous gynecologist from the LA area and she said wearing a bra to sleep prevents sagging. So I assume it is perfectly fine to wear a bra to bed! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Southanjel	I found that a sports support top was more comfortable than a bra, especially around the time of my period when my breasts were a little more sensitive, would definately stay away from underwires or anything too lacy unless its for dressing up purposes rather than sleeping! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Blue Girl	I am large busted, and when I was pregnant with my son the doctor recommended that I sleep with a bra on for support. I am now 50 and still do. And believe me it has really helped reduce drooping, if you know what I mean. I don't use the one I wear all day, but a comfortable cotton one. If you are small busted, I don't know if it matters. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

sixtylicious1	I have always worn a bra to bed, since I was in school and although I've heard vague ideas about it being bad for you I've never heard anything substantial enough to stop me doing it.
