If you don‘t wear a bra...

Wearing an underwired bra all day and all night is not recommended. Instead, sleeping in a non-wired bra is more comfortable and it still provides support. Flexible wires &amp; wires that have padded casing around them will also feel more comfortable.It is also important to ensure that the underwire is resting on your ribcage. The best way to check this is by gently pressing against the wire – if the wire bounces back, it is sitting on tissue, not the rib cage.
