To go bra less in this hot weather?

Not at work today but have just come back from town. First thing I did was to rip my bra off as it was making me 10 times hotter. The relief was palpable and this was a wire free one that is usually reasonably comfortable.

I'm 56, menopausal, wear an e cup, and have sensory issues. AIBU to go without one? Or if not please recommend a comfy bra that is suitable to wear in hot weather.

If you are comfortable going without a bra, why not? I find wearing bra is usually more comfortable because it mops up the sweat that I’d otherwise get from skin on skin.
I wear the Royce Impact Free sports bra year round as it’s 100% cotton. It has a really wide underband, too, which is much more comfortable. Also recommend, if you are not short of £s, an American company called Decent Exposures. They will make you a customised and very comfortable bra/ bralette with no underwires, to your own measurements, from various fabrics including cotton. I wear one in the evening as an alternative to bras.

I wouldn’t it would be sweat hell.

But skin on skin creates the perfect sweaty conditions for sweaty skin sores. Not worth it in the long run. I’m sitting here with 36H , hating the underwires but going no bra is not really an option

Heck no way could I do this. I would get seriously Betty Swoobs in this heat.
My underboob would be drenched so I keep them tucked up in their bra until bedtime!

But whatever makes you comfortable do it!

Was thinking of putting some Odaban and Sudacrem to stop the sweating and potential chafing of the underboob.
