Some of my friends think that it is weird that I normally sleep with a bra on. I do not think that it is uncomfortable so I never saw what the problem was. Then they started to tell me that wearing a bra to bed can increase your risk of developing breast cancer. Is this really true? Also I am only 16 years old so I am not done growing. Is it more likely that I can develop breast cancer from sleeping with my bra on because I am still developing?

Total bullsh!t. Wear a bra from birth to age 90 (24 hours a day except when washing) and your chances of breast cancer are no greater than another woman who's never worn a bra in her life. Do what's *comfortable* for you... not what stupid myths tell you.

no way!!!!!! people on tv just try to scare you by making everything seem like it will trigger cancer, I heard staying in the dark could increase your risk of cancer, or picking your cuts, so nooo<333

no, it's not true. i like wearing a bra to bed too. i'll wear it for about two weeks and then i'll take it off for a night. i'm not sure why i do this, it's just comfortable. my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer almost to years ago. my mom asked about 23807875 questions as to how she got it. she came up with the most ridiculous possibilities as to how it happened. one of her questions was because she would wear a bra to bed. the doctor said that wearing a bra to bed is just a myth. so no worries. you'll be fine. just a little uncomfortable by the bra sometimes.

Wearing a bra to bed has no adverse side effects but it is good to let the "girls" breathe every once in a while. There are many factors that cause breast cancer with heredity being a big factor but wearing a bra to bed has nothing to do with your risk for developing breast cancer. In my personal opinion though, if you do wear a bra to bed, make sure its not one that's expensive because it will wear the bra out faster but the plus to wearing a bra is it helps delay future sagging.

Sleeping in a bra does not affect growth or cause breast cancer. breast cancer is caused by cells manipulating them selves. and i sleep in a bra every night! i am 16. :)
