More on what wicking is:

I was hoping someone here would have personal recommendations of a lightweight, cool bra they were happy with.

I also have some of these bras. They are very comfortable and not cotton:

Thanks, but can they keep you cool when sweating heavily? I have several comfortable and supportive bras, but they don't help when sweating.

There is a product called Coolmax, but they seem to make every type of clothing except bras.

You may just have to get some waterproof duck tape! I am just joking of course! :lol:

Too big for that!! I wish I could just go braless, but perky is required for that. layful:

Haven't found a solution for bras, yet. I just peel them off. I hate cotton underpants. Once they get wet with sweat they stay wet all day.

Yep, bras too. I don't like having to peel them off every day for 3 months though. layful:

What about Victoria's Secret?

Thanks.

I just did online chat with a shop called Bravissimo which is for larger size bras. They don't do wicking bras though.

This looks like a U.S. site, needs looking up for international shipping. But look-worthy anyway.

Thanks, Cookie. We've got similar lines here, but I'd really like some personal reviews of some. I've got one sports bra that says it's wicking and I find it too hot.

Those bras are for looking sexy only as far as I know.

Here is a site where you can check the fabric of the sports bras:

I believe our breasts are major sweat glands and n' of themselves. I have never found a bra in any fabric that stays dry. On really humid days I'll switch to a clean one mid-day and always have a few on the line in reserve. Baby cornstarch can make you feel better and has a nice scent but only works a few hours.

Thanks Ruthanne. I've run across Panache before. I won't buy a bra I haven't tried on. I find I'm a different size in different brands.

In Thailand I use a powder called Snake Brand for prickly heat after a shower. It helps a wee bit.

I like Warners stretchy strapless lace bras. It's almost the only type of bra I wear in the summer. Almost as comfortable as wearing nothing. Macys carries the Warner line FYI.

 

[fureverywhere]

I agree, Warners is the brand I couldn't remember. Macy's has virtually every size and style.

 

[Ameriscot]

Thanks Fur and Chic. I can find Warners in the UK. Too big to do strapless though.

 

[Ralphy1]

Thanks Annie, this thread has been very interesting. Maybe I will start one on men and their issues with boxers or briefs...

 

[AprilT]

Are these the right Warner's bras, as far as brand?

if so sears seems to have better prices

Ladies should try the German Lingerie brand called STOPSUM FROM FLOPPIN

:thumbsup: I'd be laughing really hard if not for the fact that they're all so very true. :sosad::laugh:
