Any bra suggestions for the heat?

[cwestbrook]

Does anyone have a suggestion for a good bra for the heat and humidity that isn't a sports bra--I don't like being squished!

I've seen some with Cool Max but it turned out it was just the side panels--I want the cups to breathe!

Thanks!

Just saw an ad for some brand new Playtex "cooling" bras on TV this week. Look for those - they're supposed to be very comfortable.

QVC sells a line of bras called Breezies and they tout this fabric called Ultimair which lines the cups of many (most) fo their bras. The claim is that it "moves moisture to the outer layers for quick drying" and supposedly keeps you feeling more comfortable.

I do wear a Barely Breezies bra (like the little sister of the Breezies bra) and the cups are lined with this Ultimair fabric but I haven't tested the claim. I do, however, like the bra a lot.

I wear Fashion Forms, a strapless tube bra, as I don't need a lot of support, and thought I would need to switch to a sports bra while in the heat at Disney but never needed to even though I had bought and brought one. The fashion forms did fine all week! I get mine at Dillards (I think or might have been Macy's but pretty sure it was Dillards) and they are sooo comfortable, they literally changed my life b/c regular bras hurt my back - these have no wires or elastic at all, (nylon and spandex) and are padded too (you can take pads in or out) and wash and hold up well. If needed you could easily wash in the sink and hang up to dry during your stay. Now if you need support, these may not work but they are great for me!

Ugh! I hate bras at WDW! I can't stand much touching my skin when I am that hot. So...it is Petals for me! I look for cute halter type tops--some offer padding &/or a little support which is all I really need, and if need be I just stick on the reusable/washable Petals and away I go--I can't even tell they are there. You definitely would NOT want to wear a t-shirt with them though!

I am a busty girl and use powder and deodorant under the 'girls' on hot sweaty days to keep things cooler and dryer

I have to make sure that the bra has no cotton. Cotton gets rotten and holds moisture so any exercise bra should help.

I have been wearing my regular bras and adding some powder as the day goes on.

I brought at least 2 bras for my trip in Sept, that way I could change it when I changed clothes midday.

I exercise in a Danskin sports bra from walmart. It's got padded cups so not squishing.

Personally, I wish y'all would just go without.

don't be so sure....some of us aren't "cute & perky" anymore

I had 2 babies within 2 years. Trust me..you would thank me NOT to "just go without".
(Not to mention I would NEVER for fear of ending up on the Weird-Odd-Strange-Disturbing Photo Thread. )

My DDs never go without! I hadn't even thought about this but it is important, I'm so glad I read this!

Breezies bras certainly do help in the heat. They aren't perfect, but the are more comfortable--for me, anyway! *LOL* I do require a lot of support, and the underwire actually is comfortable--very unusual!

I'm so glad the OP asked this question! I'm totally checking into the Breezies.

I'm surprised that MEN opened this thread! It did make me laugh though!

Thanks for all your replies--I'm checking them all out. I hadn't heard of some of these.
