I've never noticed any correlation between boob size and sleeping with a a bra either, though I don't know too many girls with boob size larger than D. Do big boobs really get in the way while you're sleeping?

Mine separate too, Abbots. It's an ideal not of this era, and it makes it completely impossible for me to ever wear a push-up bra or have cleavage. Oh well, boobies, eh?

Me too! I may have some of that swoop action going on but cleavage is something I don't think I'll ever really be able to acheive.
The ones I've known who have done this are the kind of girls that have back problems stemming from their boobs. Btw - I'm talking like sports bras for sleeping not lacy underwire type things.

wayyyyyy upthread: the reason 'banana boobs' hasn't caught on is that sometimes the kind of people you'd all hate refer to the man part as a 'tummy banana'

xp abbott - yeah, I pick bras on the basis of bringing them closer together.
xp laurel - I think I read something somewhere that if you have boobs that move toward the sides to get a push up bra in a cup size one smaller than the one you normally wear.

― incomprehensible Kool-Aid swallower (sarahel), Wednesday, 8 July 2009 19:52 (fourteen years ago) link
But I thought boobs cause back problems only when you're standing/sitting? Shouldn't lying in bed allow them to rest even without a bra?

Bill Engvall used the phrase 'banana boobs' in a stand-up performance, which is 100% reason to hate it.

Um no because anything pushy-uppy just smushes them together and makes my chest look folded in the middle.

x-post That's reason enough Abbott.
Tuomas - Like I said, having boobs big enough to either cause back trouble or necessitate sleeping in a bra is something I will never personally know about. All I know is that I have met a handful of ladies who do this. Sorry I can't provide you with the exact reasoning behind it. :-(

Not that it's super relevant but I knew at three girls in college who had reductions to alleviate back pain. Like a fairly common thing

xxp it's probably easier for a lot of these women to wear a sports bra to bed than to try to sleep in a posture that isn't painful. Also, back problems really suck.
― incomprehensible Kool-Aid swallower (sarahel), Wednesday, 8 July 2009 20:00 (fourteen years ago) link
Hmm, that site doesn't give much explanation for sleeping with a bra either, except that they say it helps alleviate wrinkles and soreness of breasts. No mention of big boobs though.

xp the banana boobs - for whatever reason I find them disturbing - probably because they don't have the width/roundness that I associate with that length/size.
