What Really Happens When You Wear A Bra Every Day (3 of 3)

Your Sleep Could Be Suffering

Do you sleep in a bra? Some swear by this act, especially if they have larger breasts and need support overnight. But others report all sorts of issues, like disturbed sleep, physical discomfort, and even trouble breathing when they wear anything too snug to bed.

Tight bras, or those with underwire, can apply too much pressure and restrict chest mobility during sleep. And if your sleep is affected, this can negatively influence everything, including things like mood and even metabolism. If you feel like you need support while sleeping but you are disturbed by your current bra, consider switching to a wireless bra or one specifically designed for sleep.

Potential Back and Shoulder Pain

The truth is that the right bra can do amazing things for both your posture and pain, especially if you are a higher cup size. But the wrong bra can be just as impactful, in the worst way. Bras that dont fit well can cause strain to your shoulders, cause poor posture, and dig into your back and sides. This is especially the case for wireless bras that dont give the lift needed for certain body types.

Wearing a bra that fits poorly can create all types of issues, from shoulder grooves to tension headaches and even nerve pain. This is why getting professionally fitted for a bra is so important and is actually one of the most overlooked but essential acts of self-care.
