I used Palmer's Cocoa Butter throughout my pregnancy on my tummy, hips and boobs. Maybe I'll get a comfy sports bra that's not quite supportive enough for running, but still comfy to wear around the house. I've always been a bit of a "commando" girl. Before they got big, I'd take my bra off as soon as I got home from work :-) banana on "Do you wear a bra to sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-a-bra-to-sleep-2#post-273437 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 12:50:09 +0000 banana 273437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No way. It's waaaay too uncomfortable! Even right now while I'm BFing, I don't wear a soft bra. I just stick the breast pads on to my tank top!

I'm a 34D when I've...indulged a bit too much (food-wise), 32C at my more "ideal" weight, but regardless, can't wait to take my bra off as soon as I get home at the end of the day (assuming I don't have to go anywhere/see anyone...wouldn't wish THAT upon anyone!)!

They feel so restrictive! I was a 34b pre-pregnancy and now probably a 34d. Now I'm wondering if I should start wearing them more often...gravity has been nice so far LOL stargal on "Do you wear a bra to sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-a-bra-to-sleep-2#post-273369 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 12:08:07 +0000 stargal 273369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ never use toprepregancy but started to all the time during my pregnacy and still do anonysquire on "Do you wear a bra to sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-a-bra-to-sleep-2#post-273327 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 11:43:19 +0000 anonysquire 273327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I've worn a bra to sleep every night for my whole life it seems. chopsuey on "Do you wear a bra to sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-a-bra-to-sleep-2#post-273326 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 11:43:01 +0000 chopsuey 273326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Sometimes a sleep bra or cami, but I like sleeping without best!

No bra though (and I'm super busty). sulli301 on "Do you wear a bra to sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-a-bra-to-sleep-2#post-273236 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 10:47:38 +0000 sulli301 273236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes I always wear a sleep bra to bed Mrs.B on "Do you wear a bra to sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-a-bra-to-sleep-2#post-273225 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 10:33:55 +0000 Mrs.B 273225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I was a 34C pre preg and now I am a 38G. I rarely wear a bra to bed because it's just not comfy. I do have a nursing sleep bra and wear it on occasion if I'm leaking (this just started) and plan to wear it nightly once LO arrives so I can wear nursing pads to bed. sorrycharlie on "Do you wear a bra to sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-a-bra-to-sleep-2#post-273222 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 10:28:47 +0000 sorrycharlie 273222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm 36 weeks pregnant & have to wear a bra every night...have since may! I need something to hold bra pads in place or I soak the sheets! cvbee on "Do you wear a bra to sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-a-bra-to-sleep-2#post-273202 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 09:57:33 +0000 cvbee 273202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I've always worn a bra to bed (even pre-preg when I was C), and now it's a must especially for keeping the nursing pads in place. Sometimes I wear just a 'yoga bra' type thing, but I feel best with a sturdy one. I don't do it because of sagging; I just like how it feels.

Since LO was born 6 months ago I've been wearing a sleep bra. mediagirl on "Do you wear a bra to sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-a-bra-to-sleep-2#post-273123 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 09:01:08 +0000 mediagirl 273123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I hated wearing a bra to bed pre-pregnancy. Once I had the baby I found I have to wear a sleep bra or nursing tank or i leak all over the place. It's for the leaking over the comfort. I'm a 36D. pl0508 on "Do you wear a bra to sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-a-bra-to-sleep-2#post-273117 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 08:54:27 +0000 pl0508 273117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I probably should. I got fitted for a new bra not long ago and I was up to a 36DDD (aaaah!). But I never have and haven't started :( MsLipGloss on "Do you wear a bra to sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-a-bra-to-sleep-2#post-273098 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 08:41:46 +0000 MsLipGloss 273098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @JuneBugMama: Regardless of position (gravity is constant), over time, gravity and a loss of elasticity impact the integrity of body tissue (heavier boobs = greater strain on elasticity of skin), which can lead to sagging. It's different for everyone, but I think it's kind of like oiling up your pregnant belly . . . it may not ultimately make a difference, but I prefer to think that I did everything I could to keep any stretch marks/sagging at bay. :) Minnie_Girl on "Do you wear a bra to sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-a-bra-to-sleep-2#post-273097 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 08:41:44 +0000 Minnie_Girl 273097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I've never worn a bra to sleep...ow! Under normal circumstances I'm a 30E, and pregnancy has made them much heavier/fuller. Sometimes I wear the camis with built-in "shelf bras" to bed, but they do zilch. A comfortable, sleepable bra in my size just doesn't provide enough support to make a difference. I'd rather let the ladies go free at night--it lets the lymph nodes drain and ligaments work. mrsjyw on "Do you wear a bra to sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-a-bra-to-sleep-2#post-273089 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 08:37:30 +0000 mrsjyw 273089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yea, but I've always worn a bra to bed (most nights) even pre-preggo! betsyboop on "Do you wear a bra to sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-a-bra-to-sleep-2#post-273073 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 08:29:15 +0000 betsyboop 273073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I was a 36A before pregnancy, and as a nursing mom am now a 36C/D. I really really don't like wearing bras to bed but because I leak milk, I have to. I wear Bravado nursing bras to sleep, which are comfortable but found that their nursing tanks provide a lot of support and are comfortable as PJ's!

Sometimes I wear a sports bra and no tank top instead. I'm a 34B. If I grew with pregnancy I might want to sleep in a bra. LuLu Mom on "Do you wear a bra to sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-a-bra-to-sleep-2#post-273049 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 08:08:38 +0000 LuLu Mom 273049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I was a 34DDD before pregnancy and am now a 36G and I usually do not wear a bra to bed. Occasionally I will sleep in a soft sports bra if it's hot, but normally it's a tighter fitting tank top. I figured gravity is going to take it's toll no matter what so I'm going to be comfortable. And I'm planning on a reduction after I'm done having kids, so that will help give them a nice little lift. junebugmama on "Do you wear a bra to sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-a-bra-to-sleep-2#post-273045 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 08:06:30 +0000 junebugmama 273045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Wow can't imagine ever wearing a bra to sleep. I was a 38DD and now I'm a 38GG. I guess I don't understand how gravity will effect your breasts when you're laying down. autumnlove on "Do you wear a bra to sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-a-bra-to-sleep-2#post-273038 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 07:54:49 +0000 autumnlove 273038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes, I can't imagine NOT wearing a bra to sleep! pastemoo on "Do you wear a bra to sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-a-bra-to-sleep-2#post-273037 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 07:53:31 +0000 pastemoo 273037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No. I went from a 30ddto 32G. and I hate sleeping in a bra. However I do wear really nice bras during the day. looch on "Do you wear a bra to sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-a-bra-to-sleep-2#post-273028 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 07:41:55 +0000 looch 273028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes, I do, but it's a pullover bra from Barely There. I live in them. heffalump on "Do you wear a bra to sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-a-bra-to-sleep-2#post-273025 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 07:34:42 +0000 heffalump 273025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don't. I probably should... but I just don't want to! blackbird on "Do you wear a bra to sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-a-bra-to-sleep-2#post-273023 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 07:31:49 +0000 blackbird 273023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm starting at a 36DD/E and I've been wearing a soft cotton sleeping bra to bed under a shelf cami and t-shirt. The lack of support is already uncomfortable, and seeing as how I've got a few more sizes to grow, it's bound to get worse. I'll probably switch to a light impact sports bra sometime soon MsLipGloss on "Do you wear a bra to sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-a-bra-to-sleep-2#post-273022 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 07:29:33 +0000 MsLipGloss 273022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I usually wear a Coobie bra or a snug tank to bed (my boobs didn't get that much bigger, i.e., 32D to 34DD, although that may change when my milk comes in!) Sometimes I end up wearing a regular bra to bed (because I fall asleep in it!). hilsy85 on "Do you wear a bra to sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-a-bra-to-sleep-2#post-273018 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 07:24:37 +0000 hilsy85 273018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I started to wear a soft nursing bra when my boobs grew from a 32B to a 32DD. Not sure if it's helping protect from sagging, but it is more comfortable.
