Does anyone have any good tips for a comfortable bra to wear in hot weather please? I am an E cup so need some support and usually wear underwired but in this weather they are really uncomfortable and cause an under-boob rash. We were recently in France where temp. reached 45 one day and for some of the time I just went without but can’t really do that back home. Need some support and the least sweaty the better.

Use a medicated ‘talc’ type under breasts and a pull on all cotton bra which you can buy on Amazon.

Have you tried bra liners which you tuck under the bottom of your bra to absorb any sweat? They come in white, black or beige.

Following a thread on GN, I decided to try jelly bras. They are fantastic, without wires but giving great support, uplift and comfort. They also hide my lop-sidedness following lumpectomy. I thought they might be hot but not so. In fact I haven't needed my bra liners in this heat.

By the way, Canesten athletes foot cream heals under/between boob rash, which can be caused by a fungus.
