A member asked:
I have always heard that sleeping with a bra on can cause breast cancer, is this true?

No: It is not true that sleeping with a bra on causes breast cancer. It's good for your breasts to have good circulation, like all parts of your body, so wear a bra that fits well and does not bind you anywhere.
