Indigo Blue Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) I never have, but I may start. Just so I’m not caught unprepared if I stay in pajamas too long in the morning. Just ordered some comfy looking bras for sleeping. Also, I just ordered some grippy “hospital” socks. My arch is so high, and I find it feels like my feet just feel more slippery on the hard floors as I get older. Don’t know why. I don’t wear slippers at all. This way, if I pop out of bed in the night, I’ll stop having that feeling of slippery feet. I’m getting old. 😜 Edited January 23, 2022 by Indigo Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustEm Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Nope. But I usually put a camisole with a built in bra on under pajamas before going downstairs in the morning 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1234 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Never. I also rarely wear one at all during the winter (bundled up, hoodies, coats, etc). There have even been a few times I didn’t wear one out in just one layer of clothing. I hate bras and hope to one day honestly not care if others are bothered by me not wearing one. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawz4me Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Yes, in a lightweight/low support sports bra. The kind that come in a three pack from Walmart. When I was younger I had very painful, fibrocystic breasts and wearing a bra was a LOT less painful than not wearing one. So I got in the habit. The ones I wear now are very comfy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsheresomewhere Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Never. I do have some wonderful tanks that have built in bra for days that I am not really going out anywhere. They are from Uniqlo and very comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeAgain Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I am firmly against torture of all humans. Myself included. 😄 My bra gets thrown on the floor next to the bed. When I wake, I will either put it back on under my shirt or throw on a loose sweater to stay somewhat decent before I take a shower and get dressed for the day. 5 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faith-manor Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Nope. And my pandemic uniform had been "braless" 95% of the time. It made me realize that my back and shoulder soreness has actually been caused by bra straps. So I will not wear them anymore than absolutely necessary. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regentrude Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) Hell no.

math teacher Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 No, as a matter of fact, if I'm staying home all day (like today) I won't put one on at all. It's just the two of us, and I "never" have anyone show up. Once in a blue moon I might have to sign for something at the door, but it's so rare. My mil is always dressed. Except for when she has been in the hospital, I have never seen her in pajamas or a gown. Maybe she doesn't even own any, who knows? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEmama Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) I rarely wear one at all any more; sometimes I’ll wear a short tank top style bralette but never anything with actual straps.

vonfirmath Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I have special sleep bras I wear to bed because they are so comfortable and I feel better -- esp when at someone else's house -- being in pajamas. Even at home though, they are more comfortable than my day bra or letting it all hang out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Never. I only wear them at all when I'm teaching and then they are soft tshirt type bras. I don't wear one at home ever and if I can get away with wearing a thicker shirt or hoodie, I'll go without when teaching as well, but usually I'm too hot for that. (darn hot flashes) It doesn't bother me at all to go out shopping in just a tshirt with no bra. Or having someone come to the house. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiewindmomma Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Half of the time I sleep in a comfort bra. It’s more comfortable than going without.

TravelingChris Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 No, I never did. For the last 3 or 4 years,I may wear a bra for a few hours maybe 5 or so days a year. I can't wear them since they all cause excruciating pain. My normak, every day pain level is 4 on the best days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauraw4321 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I drive my kids to school in the morning. I put a coat on over my shirt in case I have to get out.

Indigo Blue Posted January 23, 2022 Author Share Posted January 23, 2022 Wow. Am I being a weirdo? Lol. They make lots of bras just for sleeping. They look decently comfy. Dh is a plumber and if you remember my post where I complained about people just showing up at our house…it happens sometimes. Once the meter reader guy was below my backyard deck as I walked out with a very loose low top on to sweep. I just saw a head pop up at deck level and I threw my broom down and screamed. (He was brazen enough to enter my fence gate where I had a beware of dog sign posted. I did not expect someone to ever just walk back there. Usually, he reads it from the road, but that one day he had to go back there for some reason). And neighbors coming over to ask if I had seen the loose pitt bull roaming around... etc. It's always something. This way, if I’m too lazy to actually get dressed, I won’t be caught having to answer my door like that. I guess I’m the odd one, because I don't mind them too much if they are comfy enough. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I leaked all over the place and was trying to contain it. At this point, I am so glad to take off my bra at night. Once my boys got older, I bought gowns that are more like house dresses for summer, and a flannel gown or pjs for winter. They provide more coverage, and I don't feel like I need a housecoat to be in the living room. (I have large breasts and it is very obvious if I don't have on a bra with regular clothes.)

No, you are not. I don't wear a bra to sleep but I wear camisoles that are a little tight so they give some support. I have been thinking about getting a soft sleep bra. Some people are just more comfortable with a bra than without. I put a bra on as soon as I get up in the morning. It has nothing to do with age - I am old now, but I wasn't always, and I did always prefer wearing a bra to going without. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busymama7 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) No. If it don't get dressed before leaving my room then I slip one on. I generally shower first thing but not always.

YaelAldrich Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Only when nursing. I am a bigger gal but I hate when I do have to sleep in a bra. When I get up I get dressed.

elegantlion Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 No, I never sleep in a bra. I own a robe but it didn't come with the PJs. In fact most of my pj tops are just random tshirts - right now it's my college sweatshirt. I have a winter robe and a summer robe just in case I need to answer the door before putting on a bra. With a sweatshirt, no one can tell whether I'm wearing one or not. I figure if someone knocks on my door before the appropriate time, they should be prepared to see me in my pjs.

popmom Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) I'm 50/50 on wearing a bra to bed. I started when breastfeeding as others have said. I spent 8 years of my life breastfeeding, so I got very accustomed to it. I was so uncomfortable without a bra while nursing that I showered basically one handed. I kept one arm under the girls for support. I just couldn't stand the heaviness. Even after I weaned I felt more comfortable wearing a bra to bed--even with an underwire. The girls know their place and that's how it's gonna stay. 😉 Edited January 23, 2022 by popmom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebcoola Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Nope never I don't wear a bra unless interacting with people outside my family.

Lecka Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I don’t know what they do now, in particular, but one of my sisters has always slept in an underwire bra, and my other sister has always slept in a bra of some kind. My mom and I do not sleep in one. I have always assumed a lot of women sleep in bras, because it was 50/50 in my family growing up. My step-mom had a cotton bra she slept in sometimes. I think when it was hot she slept in that and no shirt. But I think that because I think of that as a thing people do, when it is hot but a sheet might be irritating.

MercyA Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Noooooo. Comes off for naps, too, and sometime in the late evening before sleep. A bit too confining for total relaxation. That said, I feel really uncomfortable not wearing one during waking hours. I don't really need a ton of support; I just feel more put together wearing one and also there is the issue of n*pple show through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Marmalade Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Yes. I didn't always. But several years back I was doing a paper route in the middle of the night, and to maximize every moment of sleep that I could, I would sleep in my bra and comfy clothes so that I could just get out of bed and go. I don't do that paper route anymore, but I kind of got used to sleeping in a bra- and I definitely go full on underwire. Every once in a while I'll sleep without one, but at least six out of seven nights a week I sleep in my bra. I don't even notice it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
