Vest tops which eliminate the armpit scrotum pouch.

Do they exist? In my imagination I see something with a chic square neckline and thicker shoulder strap(bra friendly) which come right up under the armpit therefore hiding that irritating little purse full of fat and saggy skin.

I will pay good money if this can be found IRL!

op I actually get what you mean I am a size 8 without big boobs and if the vest top/bra combo isn’t right it makes me look huge and have a weird flap of skin under my armpit!

I wear Uniqlo tank tops with built in bra cups , sometimes cropped ones with high waisted skirts or jeans

ASOS fuller bust had exactly what you described, I have one in my drawer 😁wide straps and a square not too low neckline, it was a while ago but they may still do something similar..... It definitely doesn't show my crepey armpits. I bought it after failing miserably trying to wear a viral zara body suit which was not made for a large pendulous bosom. Arket also do a nice ribbed one in various colours it has I higher neck though and is a little less covered but also flattering.

lol never heard this description before! I think what you’re looking for can potentially be found but you’ll have to hunt. What you want is a higher-end high street brand with thick cotton with a bit of stretch, and a double layer/inner bra lining thing. And yes square or scoop neck. Maybe try White Company? Fat Face? Even M and S. I have an old top by Fenn Wright Manson that is pretty much exactly this. Just googled, this isn’t my listing but can see someone is selling exactly my top I’m thinking of secondhand right now.

I keep getting ads on my socials for a vest that is cut to cover this exact thing! When I next see one I will report back as to the brand!

From the bottom of my armpit scrotum pouch, I thank you for starting this thread 🙏

ANiceCuppaTeaandBiscuit · 05/06/2025 15:44

Cos. I swear they are the only vest tops I will ever buy. They are flattering and wash beautifully.

Comefromaway · 05/06/2025 16:01

Now I tried Cos and they look awful on me.

With regarding the armpit. When I had my breast reduction, I had some liposuction done on that fat there which is actually breast tissue.

It's one of the best things I ever did because like you I felt very self-conscious about it.

Liposuction is quite painful and there was a scar Because they removed some of the skin because of armpit hair (!). But after being self-conscious about that for 40 odd years it's such a relief not to have it. Can recommend.

Madagascary · 05/06/2025 16:05

the scrotum Is a lovely word. It's actually called axillary breast tissue which might be good if you google it.

ExtensivelyDecluttering · 05/06/2025 16:06

I wasn't sure what was meant by this scrotum thing when I saw this thread yesterday. Then I went to yoga last night and looked round at all the vest tops and thought ah yes, I know exactly what she means now.

I have some Primark ones that are quite good on this but they are several years old now. I know you can get the tank top with built in bra cups types there now too.

But surely not! I mean, even on the very beautiful and presumably air-brushed model photograph you can see the beginning of the bulge, although in her case it is perhaps more of a smooth mon pubis of armpit genitalia rather than a full-on scrotum.

I don't think everyone knows exactly what you're talking about.

Sadly, I do.

Oh I am happy for them. Bless their hearts.
