This is absolutley not true. You can wear any type of bra you wish (or not). The only thing that can happen from NOT wearing a bra (especially if you a large breasted) is something called Cooper's Droop (seriously!). It's the sagging that happens to breasts that results from stretching of Cooper's Ligaments.

that is a myth.. no truth in it..

Both answers are correct - if you would like some really good information try reading Dr. Loves Breast Book. Oh the stuff we don't know!

Breast cancer, like all other cancers, happens when normal cells change so that they grow in an uncontrolled way. This uncontrolled growth causes a tumour to form. Underwear has no effect on this process

All the stories about bras and breast cancer are nonsense - padded bras or badly fitting bras causing cancer are two other urban myths.

If you're comfortable wearing a bra to bed, carry on doing so.
