Cotton-lined bras, please?

Can anyone suggest any brands apart from Royce that do cotton lined cups?

Sorry if TMI but I sweat loads because of menopause and the only bras I now like are cotton bralettes/crop tops for casual, and the Royce Maisie for 'going out' because it has the cotton lining and is non-wired but still supports well. I don't like the polyamide/microfibre/silky -type stuff that most bra cups are made from.

Unfortunately Maisie doesn't go higher than a 40 inch chest, neither do most of the Royce bras. Apart from the big-cup sizes, which I don't need as I'm only a C cup. I don't know where to look for cotton lined bras that don't look grannyish.

Intimissimi has a cotton-elastene one that goes up to 42C or 44B:

I've tried another style (Tiziana) in the cotton blend and it was very soft and comfortable but only goes up to 38.

"Anita" do some cotton towelling sports bras. They're so good that I often wear one as my normal bra.

I'm only a 36c cup but was getting so so sore underneath my boobs due to meno sweats. Talcum powder has been a lifesaver! I'd also packed away my non cotton bras, but can wear them now if I dust my breasts with a shake of powder Grin

Odd that. I sweat in that area but actively avoid cotton because it doesn't wick moisture and stays wet and clammy. That said... have you checked orthopedic supply stores? I believe post-mastectomy bras tend to use cotton. Also, look at bra liners to soak up moisture.
