From the moment of its appearance, a bra has caused a lot of controversy regarding its benefits. Today, according to statistics, more than 80% of women wear it. However, many of them do this for aesthetic reasons, without thinking whether it is useful. The topic is also debating: a bra for sleeping. It is especially relevant among pregnant, lactating women and those with breasts larger than the second size.
Is a bra useful at all?
The fact that a bra helps maintain the elasticity of the female breast and prevent its sagging is absolutely not justified. After all, most women wear a bra daily, and over time, one way or another, the skin loses its elasticity. Breast skin is no exception, so the mammary glands lose their shape. However, such an element of a woman’s wardrobe as a bra has entered our life so firmly that some women even sleep in it. They are convinced that it will help to maintain a beautiful breast shape longer.
There is some truth in this, but to a greater extent, the shape of the breast depends on the size, hereditary factor and skin elasticity. A bra for sleeping, which is now in great demand among women, most likely provides a more comfortable sleep.
Who is most useful sleep in a bra?
Often, women who are unhappy with their body are looking for all kinds of ways to improve its shape and general condition. Is it correct? No. This also applies to the use of a bra for sleeping. It is recommended only to women who are overweight. Due to the large amount of adipose tissue, the skin of the mammary glands during sleep stretches very actively, and stretch marks appear.
As you know, the elasticity of the skin, and breast skin in particular, depends on body weight, on whether a woman is breastfeeding, on whether she is pregnant. The elasticity is also affected by the presence of collagen in the body. However, for most of us this is not the answer, and we are diligently trying all kinds of methods that could improve our lives, giving our body more attractiveness.
Is wearing a bra comfortable and comfortable?
If the breast size is small, then, most likely, during sleep, discomfort is not felt. But women who have a cup size D and above are tormented by the fact that their breasts sag at night and do not give a full rest. In such cases, it is necessary to choose the most comfortable bra made of natural fabrics. The bra for sleep should not be the same as the one that you wear during the day.
It will not provide a feeling of comfort during a night's rest. Day bra experts, in general, do not recommend wearing longer than 6-7 hours a day. And at night, even more so.
If the bra for sleep does not inspire confidence, and you are just afraid to wear it, you can use the alternative. A T-shirt with a special insert for the chest, which looks like a bra, may well become his replacement.
How to choose a bra?
When choosing a bra, a woman often pays attention to its attractiveness. This is a major mistake. After all, the most beautiful linen can be made of synthetics and not by standards. It, as a rule, can cause allergic reactions to the skin and diseases of the mammary glands. Therefore, when choosing this element of a women's wardrobe, the following points should be considered.
- The quality of the material. The bra covers the delicate and sensitive area of the female body - the chest. Therefore, it should be made only of high quality material.
It is best to give preference to linen from cotton.
- Suitable size. If the cup is a little large or small, it will not provide the desired effect. This also applies to a bra for sleeping against wrinkles. It should be the most suitable for the size of the chest. The bones (if any) should not press on the lymph nodes. Otherwise, lymph flow to the mammary glands may be impaired.
- Straps, straps. They should be wide if the breast is large, and narrower if the size of the breast is small.
Conclusion: the straps should be such as to be able to keep the chest in the most tightened state.
Following these recommendations, you need to choose not only underwear for sleeping or everyday wear, but also a bra for sleeping for pregnant women.
What is fraught with wearing an incorrectly selected bra?
According to statistics, 80% of women wear a bra, and almost all 80% wear an unsuitable size, shape or synthetic. So, what is fraught with the wearing of "the wrong underwear"? What will be the effect on the health of an improperly selected night bra for sleeping?
If the underwear is not the right size, then its use over time will affect the posture and, possibly, the shape of your chest. Also, from an aesthetic point of view, an inappropriate bra will not give the desired fit of clothes on the body. Also, when wearing tight underwear, stretch marks may occur that occur under the influence of a bra smaller by half or an entire size.
Chubby women often make the mistake of choosing underwear one size smaller on purpose, so that their breasts appear more toned and beautiful. However, such underwear is unable to maintain large breasts in a beautiful shape. Rather, it will become more saggy and unattractive.
