To go braless in the hot weather

Due to the heat and my age (heading onto menopause so sweating more and no longer quite as pert) I am getting really sore under my breasts, where the bra sits. I have been measured by different stores and so my bras are (probably) the correct fit, although not particularly comfortable. Does anyone have any advice on how to mange this? Not sure about going braless and wondered if anyone knew of any alternative please, which work for well endowed ladies? Thank you

Molke bras. Soft, supportive, wide band. Really good to wear in hot weather.
Sugarcandy bras are also good, but more expensive. They have weird padding that makes it appear you are going to smuggle cocaine in them which can give you pause, but they are comfy.

Bandeau is my go-to - it's stretchy, no straps, don't have to wriggle into it over your head like some bralettes but stops that 'under boob sticking to your skin' feeling that being braless gives you

Do whatever makes you more comfortable. Going braless would be the WORST thing for me as my droopy boobs would only result in horrific boob sweat

On really hot days I put a very thin layer of sudocrem under my boobs and tummy (4 kids have a bit of an overhang now Sad) works wonders! No irritation and no soreness. You only need a little bit don't plaster it on!

Search for “Comfort cotton bras“ on Amazon- basically crop tops. You can get a pack of 3 for about a tenner. They’re all I wear now. Not the most supportive things in the world but I hate wearing a normal bra now after wearing them - I’m a 32H, been measured properly etc bravissimo etc and just can’t stand normal bras. Even Molke are too hot and uncomfortable for me.
