Is it really that bad to wear a bra to bed? I usually do, but one friend told me you can get breast cancer, and another friend told me it's really bad for you. Mum told me I shouldn't, but someone else told me that it isn't actually that bad. What's the right answer? ASHLEIGH, VIA EMAIL

No, it's not bad to wear a bra to bed, and it certainly doesn't cause breast cancer! That's one of the many myths about bras. There's no health reason to wear, or not to wear, a bra at any time - it's really just personal choice. You'll only have a problem wearing a bra - day or night - if it's too tight, as it will put pressure on the skin or on the breast tissue. However, it won't cause any permanent damage to the breasts - and if there was a problem, you'd know, because it would be painful and you would notice bruising.
