Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

For some women: 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 under wire or metal clasps. A shelf or cross-over design is also recommended. Bras worn for sleep are made from soft materials.
