Hi ladies,
Just wondering if any of you wear a bra in bed?
My nipples are pretty sensitive at the moment and I tend to sleep on my front or 3/4 prone position (the recovery psn) which is now quite uncomfortable.
I've read mixed things about the health of bras at night but I wondered if any of you do?
I don't. When did you start HRT? When did the sensitivity start?
I do sometimes because my bra is so comfy

Started HRT 18 months ago. My nipples started getting big and sensitive about 6 months ago. It's got to the point now where I need to change sleeping position or wear a bra :-\
Just a T shirt and panties. Sleeping on your stomach is a matter of correctly positioning the masses and careful placement of the pillows, Normally I am a side sleeper and only do back or stomach when I am having a hard time getting comfortable on my side.
That's very similar to me Dena. I may try a loose t-shirt then. That'll be fun as there are lots of girly ones from which to choose :D
I have a pretty hard time bothering to put them on before I leave the house half the time. It's like the first thing I take off when I get home if I do wear one. Most of the time I'm just free boobin' it.
Nope and If I do it's a training bra or a bralette/top that has no underwire.
I wear a bra in bed quite often, it just feels kind of comforting I guess
I sleep completely free (no clothes or undergarments) and would have it no other way. Yeah, it was a lil uncomfortable in the beginning (like month 2-4), but now? Nope, and they're pretty friggin' out there too (in the B neighborhood).
Haha fair enough ;D
I sleep starkers too but they're pretty uncomfortable at the moment ;)
I always have; don't know quite why. Started back in the bad old breast form days but kept on when I graduated up to beast enhancement. BTW - can anyone tell me how to post a picture.
Comfort bra day and night.
Shorts jammie set from Next.
Also learned to sleep on my back last year.
No pressure on the breasts or fear of them growing lop sided. (I'm a worrier)
Best position for cuddling my bear too which is a bonus :)
Nope. I'm glad when I can pull off my bra at the end of the day
I always wear either a bra or bra top cami to bed, it's just more comfy for me and I don't feel so "exposed"
Nope. I can't wait to take the darned thing off. :) Of course, it always helped that I slept on my side anyway; a few weeks of sensitivity was also enough to break me of occasionally rolling onto my stomach. These days, they squash nicely and I could sleep face-down... but I'm out of the habit.
I thought the only women who wear bras to bed are the fictional characters on TV and in PG rated movies. Most of the rest of us let it all hang out at bedtime. But if it works for you, do it, I suppose.
No I do not
Once my pjs come on, the bra comes off. I normally sleep in a nightie. A cami, is the closest to a bra I would sleep in.
When my breast development started and my nipples were super sensitive, I would wear a padded sports bra to bed, but I have not done that in years.
Bra is unhooked in the back, freed from the shoulders, and pulled down and off through my shirt the minute I set foot inside, so... nope.
Not a fan of bras, but they're pretty much "required" in society.
I wear a sports bra to bed some times if my nipples are too sensitive. Helps to have a little padding there to keep from getting "itchy". My GF loves stripping them off me as well, so there is an added bonus.
Most of the time out and about, I go free-style and do not wear one. I cannot run or jump without the support as they finally made the B cup range, but it is fine when just walking around.
I know some people hate them, but really...they perform a service when needed.
No way in hell.
In fact, my bra is maybe the first thing that I take off when I get home and if someone comes over, depending on how well I know them I wouldn't even put one on for a visitor.
Only when I have breast pain... or had a rough day.
Sometimes I do but for me the bra is a 'breast substitute' because I'm not on HRT yet. I feel better when I have a bra on, it just completes the look and feel but I probably won't wear it all the time when I'll have real breasts.
I can't stand wearing it. I take it off as soon as I get home :)
I don't sleep with my bra... i totally sleep naked lmao! I wear a bra pretty much all the time otherwise though. I'm obsessed with them i think i own 35ish? all different colors! xD
While I really like to wear my bra during the day I also like to take it off at the end of the day and give the girls a chance to do their own thing. So no, I don't sleep with one on. In most cases, except for women with massive breasts, I believe it is generally recommended that you don't sleep with one on.
I do, its comfortable to me, besides the lack of breasts since I am pre everything.
Honestly the only real time I take my bra off is to change to another, shower, or when I need to male mode for military reasons.

Always remember to smile your face
Sometimes yes, it feels more comfortable. But that's just me.
Might be something to do with liking my partner taking it off me. But hey ho, we all have our quirks.
That said, my OH is a 36H and will often wear one in bed.
I also lose the bra in the evenings and appreciate the freedom. I did have some of the same sensitivity issues and they remain. I opted for soft night shirts on the bad nights. In summer I'm used to sleeping nude (i have most of my life), so that is an adjustment that causes me to use more air conditioning.
I really dislike the fact that my nipples are contributing to global warming, but what are you going to do?
I don't rush to take mine off at the end of the day so I occasionally fall asleep while still wearing it. I have found a few bras that are so comfy I forget I'm wearing them while some of the fancier ones tend to have lace that can be itchy or straps that slip easily.
No!! Tbh bras (esp the ones with underwires) are the most uncomfortable things ever created. They come off whenever Im home, I cannot and absolutely wont sleep with them on.
Just usually a nighty for me
I wouldn't, and I'm pretty sure it's not good for your health either.
I have the habit of wearing something femme to sleep and before HRT that was a bra more often than not. Now at 6 months on estrogen and with significant breast development, I'm usually wearing some sort of chemise. When it's too hot or I'm really tired I may just fall into bed still in the bra.
Used to be that was my main touchstone with feeling and expressing myself as femme - just me and my gf. Now that I'm first, doing nothing to hide feminine things during the day and slowly working toward a more femme presentation in daily life I don't feel as compelled to emphasise my tits when home.
I do but I wish I didn't have to. Since I got BA, my surgeon wants me in a bra all the time, mostly.
I do get 'sleeping bras' though.
I don't like bras they feel werid lol
A long time ago before I even knew that transitioning was even possible I would wear bras as some kind of odd security blanket comfort thing
Then when I first started HRT I'd wear one to ease the nipple pain and I figured it would help in shaping the girls
Then I started wearing a bra top cami to bed for awhile
Now it's usually a tank top or night gown with panties
Sometimes I kinda look back and giggle a bit thinking about the various progressions I went through ;D
Lately, with the heat, a tank top and panties works better than a bra. Having the girls free to move around the bed feels better than having them contained. Also finding as get used to them being larger, having them loose around the room is more comfortable.
QuoteI thought the only women who wear bras to bed are the fictional characters on TV and in PG rated movies.
My ex usually wore a bra to bed and I do too.
Since my "little girls' have started to grow I haven't felt the need to. Before a bra was to hold my forms so I had the sensation of breasts. Now I don't need that crutch.
You might try a body pillow. I sleep mainly on my side and it helps keep knee joints from hurting from lack of support. It would also help in keeping the girls under control. Besides it's nice to hug something in bed.
Hugs,
Jeanette
My bras comes off when I get home or when I get a chance to shower at night, never worn then while sleeping so the girl are free at night to do there own thing and not constricted, but if people come over I'll throw a crop top on,
Cheers Tracy
I go braless and if I switch on my stomach I basically lay on my arms to keep my breasts from squashing.
