Bali Bra's

[wic0721]

This is a crazy question, but I have to ask....

I bought 3 Bali bra's this summer, everytime I wear one of them I get a horrible rash everywhere the bra touches my skin. I can't explain it, I hand wash the bra's, use "free" detergents, no fabric softner. Needless to say, I will never wear these bra's again.

Has this happened to anyone else???

I have a problem with the elastic in some bra's. Can't explain it, but it really bothers my skin. I have to say I'm a bra hater and there is nothing worse than shopping for them, pure torture.

I have a Bali bra, actually two... no similar problem.
And, my skin can sometimes be sensitive.

Do you react to any other similar articles of clothing?

It could be that the material or the fit is causing you to develop a yeast infection of the skin--this happened to me, and I had to get a prescription strength cortisone cream from the dr. to clear up the rash.
The technician who did my last mammogram recommended that I use Gold Bond powder, and I have to say that it works like a charm to prevent a rash.

Yeah, right.

I have an allergy to latex. I can usually handle spandex type elastic. I wonder if this is not the issue. Even if the elastic is spandex the thread they use to sew the bra together may contain latex. I also have difficulty with my underwear elastic.

I purchase my bras custom made from decent exposures.com. They are wonderful and I can call up and have them alter things on my next order such as add or subtract from the shoulder straps, cup size and even the arm opening. They use only spandex type elastic and will use spandex thread as well. The bras are like sport bras but much more supportive than you might think. I have them double the fabric on both front and back and it adds to the durability. Good luck.

No, I don't have any kind of reaction to any other bra's I own, or any clothing...just these 3.

I too have developed a yeast infection in the "under****" region from certain bras, like a previous poster. Just something to think about.
