Could wearing a bra to bed increase the risk of breast cancer?

It’s perfectly safe to sleep in a bra...

Breast expert, Dr. Jill R. Dietz, of the Cleveland Clinic, says contrary to dire warnings circulating on the internet, wearing a bra to bed will NOT increase your risk for breast cancer. It’s actually a good idea because wearing a bra while you sleep can prevent ligaments in the breast from stretching.

Dr. Dietz says you should sleep however you are most comfortable. Some women prefer the extra support – and some don’t. For those who do, consider buying a style labeled “sleep bra.” These have no wires or tight bands and are made from softer, breathable material that won’t trap moisture.
