For ladies only...

I am going to the world in Sept so it will be very hot and humid. My problem is the upper body undergarments, if you know what I mean. I need to hear from ladies that have gone during the hot and humid months. What did you wear for support but dried quickly. I don't want to chafe "there". I am big enough that I can't go without anything. Besides, I would feel naked. I have the feet covered, now have to figure out the topside.

Thanks ladies for any input!

I noticed that Lane Bryant sells a normal bra that is made with CoolMax. I used socks and tank tops with it for my trips in august and they seemed to really help.

There are a lot of sports bras that are made with Cool Max or other cooler fabrics too.

I'm pretty well endowed, so I can relate. I wore a stretch cotton (wire free) bra most days because it was cooler than my other bras, and the wires in my other bras were uncomfortable in the heat. I was comfortable and supported. You might want to look into a moisture-wicking sports bra, too. I used powder where the strap hit and I didn't have any problems.

I just wear a regular bra, and I'm not a member of the "Miracle Bra Club" by a long shot. I haven't had any trouble with chafing or anything, and have found no need to purchase special undergarments. I wear VS Ipex (the original full coverage) and find them very supportive and comfortable.

I also wear the Victoria Secrets Ipex. It was very comfortable. One thing I learned about on these boards that I now would never go without is Body Glide. I used it on my last trip and did not get chaffed. I put it where my straps go and where the band goes around my side to my back.

Thanks for all of the input. I was able to find Bali Downtime Wirefree bra made with Coolmax for only $19 a piece. Boy the things we women must endure!

Thanks, again!

Another option is to use a product by Monistat...Anti-Chaf cream. I wear my normal Wachol..or however you spell the brandname...bra and use the anti-chaf stuff...works great and you can find it at most any stores...Walmart, grocery stores.

I have the VS Secret Embrace collection... don't know if it is the same as the IPEX or not but it's the seamless, tagless bra... my goodness, the most comfortable bras I've ever worn!

My aunts swear by deodorant under *there* keeps you feeling spring time fresh and dry as a daisy and just your reg bra.
