I keep mine in my suitcase, and wear it under a tank to sleep in. It's reasonably sturdy and supportive, while still being comfortable. It's not baby-soft or velvety, but it IS itch-free. And I don't have to keep my arms awkwardly folded across my chest - to retain a modicum of modesty - in front of friends (and their husbands!) and extended family during late night bathroom runs or at pajama breakfasts.
