Question 1

is it bad to exercise without a bra? is it bad to jump up and down without one on?

Accepted Answer

Can be harmful: If you require a bra to support your breasts regularly, then wearing an exercise bra is a good idea.Prolonged swinging of the breasts without support over the years will take its toll in later years. There is also the matter of comfort. Some exercise without one is likely OK, but you should be the judge.Running long distances, or short distances very fast does cause significant movement. Good Luck

Question 2

is it bad for my healthto not wear a bra to bed?

Accepted Answer

That depends: Some women (especially those with larger breasts or who are pregnant) sleep in a bra for comfort.  It is recommended that a bra  worn for sleep have a soft cup without  underwire or metal clasps. A shelf or cross-over design is also recommended.  Bras worn for sleep are made.  Use of improper cup depth can lead to  rashes or chafing (due to breast contact against chest wall w trapped sweat).

Question 3

is it bad to sleep with bra?

Accepted Answer

Not really necessary: A bra is not really necessary when you are sleeping. Most people sleep better when they are wearing loose, non-restrictive clothing (or nothing). A bra is to prevent pulling on the tendons of the breast when walking, jogging, etc. When you are lying down, this isn't really an issue. I think this trend started due to TV shows, but there is no need for the bra when you sleep.

Question 4

sleeping in a bra is good or bad?

Accepted Answer

That depends: Some women (especially w larger breasts or who are pregnant) sleep in bra for comfort.  It's recommended that a bra worn for sleep have soft cup w/o underwire or metal clasps. A shelf or cross-over design is recommended.  Bras worn for sleep are made from soft materials. Use of improper cup depth can lead to rashes or chafing (due to breast contact against chest wall w trapped sweat).

Question 5

is it bad to wear a bra when going to bed?

Accepted Answer

No but: It might be uncomfortable unless it is a soft bra.  The underwire can dig into your skin and prolonged wearing increases the chance of allergy to the metals in the clasps.  However, if you sleep more comfortably wearing your bra, then these are not important downsides.

Question 6

is it bad for a girl to wear a bra all the time?

Accepted Answer

No: Wearing a bra does not harm the breasts. On the contrary, if you have large or heavy breasts, it will help no thaving them droop too soon by preventing the skin to stretch.

Question 7

is it bad for my 15 year old sister to wear a 34h bra cup?

Accepted Answer

As long as it fits: A bra should fit well & give good support. Some 15 year olds are under 5 feet tall, while others are over 6 feet, so a teen girl needs to wear what fits well. With very large breasts, she should see her pediatrician for an exam and advice. It may be good for her to work out and develop very strong back and abdominal muscles, so the breasts won't cause her back pain or other symptoms in the future.

Question 8

i'm wondering if i exercise my chest will i go down a bra size?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If you exercise your pecs and change nothing else, then the breasts may seem to enlarge a little.  If you have a generalized exercise program including good nutrition and weight loss, then your breasts may diminish with the overall loss of weight.

Question 9

im 19 years old and my bra size is 34b, can i do a exercise to increase the size of them?

Accepted Answer

No: There are no exercises that work to increase the size of breasts.

Question 10

is it bad to wear a wired bra and a training bra at the same time? will it stunt ur growth?

Accepted Answer

No need: No need to wear both. Neither will change how your breast develop. No stunting of breast growth with underwire bra.
