Yep, it's a thing. Here's the best for comfort and support all night long.
Whether or not you've been religiously going bra-less for years, or tried going free for a few weeks before realising that the back pain simply wasn't worth it, you might have heard the noise around sleep bras and wondered, what's all the fuss about?
Most sleep bras look similar to sports bras or non-wired crop tops, and come in padded and non-padded options depending on preference. You can also get sleep bras designed for breast-feeding and new mothers, with handy fastenings for easy access and extra padding for comfort. First of all, according to Bravissimo, there is no 'should' when it comes to sleep bras. It's more a question of comfort. Especially if you have bigger boobs, it might just feel nicer to have some support as you settle down to sleep.What is a sleep bra?
