Is it okay to wear a body shaper to sleep?

What we know about shapewear is that it is worn to have beautiful curves, and it also has medical effects. Many patients with varicose veins or women who have just given birth will wear body shaping garments. This is recommended by doctors and is determined by doctors based on individual physical conditions. However, many women wear body shapers just to look good, but wearing them all the time is bad for the body, let alone wearing them when sleeping. Next, let’s take a look at the dangers of body shaping clothing!

In order to have perfect curves in winter, many women like to wear shapewear to achieve the effect of shaping and keeping warm. However, they don’t know that women who wear tight underwear or shapewear may suffer from cervical spondylosis, which brings great hidden dangers to people’s health. Therefore, bone injury experts say that you should be careful when wearing shapewear in cold winter.

If women wear tight bras or body shapers, it can compress the neck muscles, blood vessels, and nerves, affecting the cervical vertebrae and causing cervical strain and bone hyperplasia, which in turn affects the vertebral nerves and vertebral arteries, causing patients to have symptoms such as upper limb numbness, neck and upper limb soreness, dizziness, nausea, and chest tightness.

In addition, when the human body is moving continuously, the shoulder muscles of the upper limbs are constantly moving, and too tight underwear frequently rubs against the skin within a small area. Over time, these muscles can become overly fatigued, blood circulation can be disrupted, and aging can occur, causing discomfort and soreness in the back muscles. In addition, too tight underwear and shapewear also restrict the movement of the respiratory muscles, causing poor contraction and relaxation of the chest cavity, thus affecting the respiratory function, resulting in insufficient ventilation of the two lungs and causing symptoms such as chest tightness and shortness of breath.

Therefore, experts recommend that women should choose suitable underwear, avoid wearing body-shaping underwear for a long time, and pay attention to regular upper limb activities and move the straps around the shoulders. Don't wear a bra when you sleep. You can also consider using it less when you are at home and not going out or receiving guests. This can remove or relieve the restraint on your breasts.

At the same time, if you have cervical spondylosis, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time and use advanced minimally invasive surgery, which has the advantages of small trauma, good efficacy, and quick recovery. The most important thing is to fundamentally eliminate cervical and lumbar disc herniation, and maintain the stability of the spine. The patient has the advantage of no sequelae and complications. It is your ideal choice for treating cervical spondylosis.

The above are the dangers of body shaping clothes. It is not recommended to wear body shaping clothes when sleeping. You should wear loose and comfortable pajamas when sleeping, which will help you sleep and is also better for physical relaxation. In short, wearing a body shaper will lead to poor blood circulation in the body, which is more likely to affect your health, so you should be cautious.
