Not sure where to ask this but I’ve been enjoying my transition a lot, even with the period included (not the nicest but still affirming).
That said, I’ve noticed a mild issue: sleeping position. My boobs are now getting in the way of sleeping fully on the side.
Currently, the “solution” I’ve gotten is to basically sleep in a fetal position halfway inbetween that of “on stomach” and “on side”, with my arms in an L shape under the ergonomic head pillow. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than sleeping normally on the side, which sadly is a little difficult now.
I figured I’d ask other gals about here. Do you lot have any tips on this?
And do clothes help differently? Like I see sleeping skirts and pajamas, but I heat up easily and I’m not so quite sure if they’d help.
So I’m a B cup and often sleep fully on the side. I can see how it might be uncomfortable at first, but of course it doesn’t bother me because I’m used to it. Maybe C+ cup ladies might feel differently about sleeping on the side.😅
One suggestion is to try and train yourself to fall asleep on your back. Wedge some pillows around you so you don’t roll over in your sleep.
I sleep in a shirt and shorts during hot months and sweatshirt/sweatpants during winter. I get cold easily lol. There’s nothing wrong with sleeping naked or in just your underwear though!
I have g cups and sleep on my side, or my stomach. I tend to get annoyed at the way my chest arranges itself if I sleep on my back lol
Respect, I guess I need to get used to it then lol. though true, stomach sleeping is nice
I see! Yeah the boobies don’t want to work with you sometimes. Gotta work with whatcha got😆
Yeah I’ve a C and I think it’s mainly caused by that if I were to lay wholly on my side, I feel friction on the most sensitive areas. Like someone above here said, it might pass over with time as they get less sore.
That falling asleep on my back is a nice idea, I should try that. I mostly sleep in underwear, shirt and shorts are a good alternative for me though, I suppose, for winter!
Ahh maybe that’s why, because they’re sore. It just feels like skin bags(?) for me, so hopefully that passes for you😊
