Cool clothes in sweltering weather - A Question

[ZoZo]

Forgive me for getting a bit personal, but I wanted some feedback.

In the hotter/more humid months, I'm not sure what fabric is best for underclothes. Is cotton, nylon, microfiber, or another fabric the best?

[Cotton is usually my first choice during "regular" weather, but it doesn't seem the best choice for a warm, humid climate. Something else would probably be more comfortable.]

I know there are moisture-wicking fabrics out there -- are those the best? Thanks for the input.

you want any material with "cool max" listed

I took 6 bras with me when we went June 05. I used 2 a day. Washed them in the sink & hung them up. I never new under clothes could get so wet. I think I used all kinds the ones w/o underwire were more comfy.

Is there underwear with "Cool Max"?
I've gotten the wicking socks for the parks and
they work great but is there such a thing
as underwear that wicks away mosture?
If there is, I want some,
I always were cotton.

Has anyone tried the Breezies bras or panties from QVC? They are supposed to be made of a special moisture wicking fabric.

I've used the breezies while in Florida in June, and honestly, didn't notice much of a difference, but I will tell you that the panties run way big.

Depending on the size you need, there are lots of underwear items that are designed for wearing while you exercise. I purchased both bras and panties through title nine - they were called "air conditioned" - worked FANTASTIC! Don't know if it was the fabric they used or the weaving, but they really lived up to their hype!

I have a friend that is a runner, she's purchased lots of underclothe items from Dick's Sporting Goods.

Hope that helps some!

What a great idea! I'm going to try my local sporting good store. I also found a company called Ex Officio (a travel products company) that carries a line of moisture-wicking underwear. They're pretty pricy (about $16 a pair) but it might be trying a couple of pairs.

The panties I purchased from title nine were about the same prices as higher end stores, about $12-$14 a pair I think? The bra was way more, about $40, which I had a heart attack about at the time, but it was totally worth it.

I started a discussion on this a couple of months ago and then found the Bali Downtime Bra with Coolmax. You can find info on it at onehanesplace.com Very comfortable. I forget I am even wearing anything. I haven't sweated in
it yet as it is just now getting warmer but I hear the fabric is top notch.

Good Luck!

I went to Target the other day and found
water wicking underwear (panties for women).
I bought some and absolutly love them!!
The price was good, Reg. Price $6.99 but
I got them on clearance and bought 5 pair for
$4.95., I only found 5 pair in my size left.
I have to go to other Targets Stores
and get more in my size before my WDW Trip.
I also am thinking about trying there Water Wicking Bras.
If they are as comfortable as the underwear,
that would be wonderful!!!

 

[Twingle]

SGMCO - do you know what brand those bras and panties were? Sounds like they will be awesome, and can't beat that price!

 

[SGMCO]

Yes, they are from "Champion" which is
the regular sportsline brand.
They come in White or Black color.
I wore them all day yesterday and
felt like I was going commando,
that's how light they felt on!!

I just didn't feel like paying $20.00
for one pair of undies (I need to many pairs)
so decided to search the Target Underwear dept.
and sure enough, found them.

Thanks! Hopefully I can get to my local Target today!

Coolmax shirts are a life saver. Bought my husband cool max boxers and he says they make a difference.

I love the underamour heat gear bikinis - great for leaving you dry.
