After my boobs ballooned to a 36D (from a 34B), I feel like I should be wearing a bra to bed. And I did while I was pumping and they were at their max size of 36DD (nearly DDD).
But now I'm finding myself getting a little lazy and sometimes I wear a cami with a shelf bra at night, but most of the time I don't wear anything. Mainly because it's more comfy that way.
How about you? What size are your boobs and do you keep them supported at night?
And if you wear a bra - any recommendations for someone who is new to this whole concept of protecting the girls from gravity?

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.
-
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!).
-
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
-
I don't. I probably should... but I just don't want to!
-
Yes, I do, but it's a pullover bra from Barely There. I live in them.
-
No. I went from a 30ddto 32G. and I hate sleeping in a bra. However I do wear really nice bras during the day.
-
Yes, I can't imagine NOT wearing a bra to sleep!
-
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.
-
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.
-
I wear a tight tank top to sleep in and no bra. 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.
-
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!
-
Yea, but I've always worn a bra to bed (most nights) even pre-preggo!
-
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.

@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.
-
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
-
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.
-
I'm a 30E and I've always worn a top to bed. Since LO was born 6 months ago I've been wearing a sleep bra.
-
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.
-
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!
-
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.
-
Yes I always wear a sleep bra to bed
-
I wear my bravado tank a lot of the time. No bra though (and I'm super busty).
-
Sometimes a sleep bra or cami, but I like sleeping without best!
-
I've worn a bra to sleep every night for my whole life it seems.
-
never use toprepregancy but started to all the time during my pregnacy and still do
-
I hate bras and take it off the minute I get home! 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
-
Heck no! Sounds miserable. My ladies want to breathe!
-
I've never been pregnant, nor am I right now (so this might change in the future!), but I have never worn a bra to bed. 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!)!
-
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!
-
@MsLipGloss: That was my attitude, and why I feel bad not supporting them at night. 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
