On or off? The ‘bra in bed’ debate has been settled, and we can deal

While it's a given that going to bed with your make-up on is a massive no-no, debate continues to rage back and forth about the benefits (or lack thereof) of wearing a bra beneath the sheets.

Some women insist on keeping their ladies under wraps to prevent sagging, while others wouldn't sleep a wink unless their bra had been thrown halfway across the room first.

But which approach is the right approach?

Well, according to GP, Dr Seth Rankin, sleeping with your bra on actually does little to support your bust during the night.

Addressing the theory that wearing a bra in bed promotes perkiness, he told Cosmopolitan: "Sagging is caused by the downwards pull of gravity on the mass of your breasts."

"When you're lying down flat, the effect of gravity pushes the breast tissue back towards your chest, instead of down towards your toes."

"So wearing a bra (the purpose of which is ultimately to support breasts from below) is essentially redundant in bed, as breasts naturally compress back down onto the chest."

In other words, being in bed actually helps fight gravity, so you may officially unhook, and get rid.

Ladies, it's time to roll wild and free.
