Six Reasons to Try a Sleep Bra

Most women find taking their bra off at the end of a long day a feeling of relief. For some, their breasts are tender and sore or can feel heavy and full, and going without support for an extended period can be uncomfortable.

Slipping into a sleep bra can be a pleasant experience, with a lightly structured bra, like a bralette, to offer gentle support to the bust. Sleep bras have no underwires for ultimate comfort and are often made of soft, stretch fabrics that feel good next to the skin. Styles may have no closures that you can simply pull on, or they may have hooks in the front for easier dressing. Strap designs can vary widely, with most types of styles having adjustable shoulder straps.

If you've ever wondered the reasons why someone may wish to wear a bra to sleep, here are our top 6 reasons you might want to try a sleep bra.

1. Tender or sore breasts due to premenstrual syndrome
2. Hot or humid weather that makes you feel sweaty or sticky
3. Travelling, or occasions with friends and family and you're looking for some coverage or modesty underneath your pajamas, example, as you gather around the Christmas tree
4. When you get home from a long day and just don't want to wear a bra, but want some support or coverage
5. Tossing and turning in your sleep to find that your breasts get in the way
6. Engorged breasts during pregnancy or nursing and just need a little support at night
