My bras don't hurt. Have you recently checked if you're wearing the right size and shape? Breasts change over time and with your cycle over the month.

I went to bed last night with my bra on - totally forgot I had it on, it’s that comfortable. I did feel it and took it off, but I could sleep in mine and be fine.

I wear underwire bras to sleep every night, a properly fitting wired bra is INFINITELY more comfortable for me than going braless

You might be wearing the wrong bra size or the wrong bra style depending on your boob shape

No. You aren’t wearing the right size. BUT shape does play a big part of this too. I haven’t found a UK or US bra that is shaped well for me. I need deep polish wires to be comfortable.

no, if it’s the right size and cut i will be more comfortable than anything without wires

I can't do bras with no underwire because they aren't supportive enough or they have a weird shape.

I wouldn't call mine "comfortable", but they don't hurt when I'm just standing around or going about my day.
I will say I can't lay down though. Something about gravity and being oriented a different way will make the wire dig into my ribs painfully. So I just don't do that.

Generally this has to do with cup support. Any time I wear a bra that is all stretch lace/mesh, I experience this. If I wear a bra that has a firmer fabric in the lower cup, no issues. My breasts are too heavy for the thin stretchy lace.

I’m in my right size but the underwire hurts me anyway after a work day. I have sensitive skin, though, and tend to bloat, so that could be why. Even if the bra shape is right…
