Underwear for those of us who don't do well in the heat

[fluffyteach]

I have never ever coped well in the heat in this country (weirdly, when abroad it doesn't bother me. I suppose it's because I'm not trying to just live the daily life then!). I am a teacher in a school that can get ridiculously warm and we have no air conditioning. I use fans but I get so so uncomfortable - the feeling of being hot and sweaty just irritates me. I have always been like this - I would love to know the feeling of being cold all the time!

So in these times of muggy and gross weather that we are currently enjoying suffering through - does anyone have any bra recommendations to help me not feel like I have olympic swimming pools under each boob? I don't wear underwires as I hate them but would love some recommendations for bras that will help me feel a little less disgusting on the daily. I share a room with 25+ students for a few hours a day in classrooms that have windows entirely down one side and where the heat almost punches you in the face when you walk in.

I have almost conquered keeping my hair relatively tame and mostly keeping my make up on. If anyone can help me with the dreaded boob, and down there, sweat I would be eternally grateful. Is bamboo stuff worth the investment? I don't mind spending a bit if it means I will be slightly more comfortable throughout the day!

I find the Bamboo underwear the best so far. Boody is the brand I have and they have an up to 30% sale now but I think it ends in a day or two. Also I feel your pain!

I have boody and Bella bodies bras. I think boody is cooler but I find the bras shrink if you wash them in a normal wash, which they probably advise against in fairness but I cannot be doing with hand washing or separate washes for every day items.

I find the Bella bodies control pants ok but they feel very synthetic despite saying they are bamboo.

Have you tried a liberal roll of antiperspirant under boob?

I wear Marks flexi fit
I apply deodorant stick first thing.
Game changer though is a large sheet of kitchen roll folded to line the underboob

I cut up microfibre cloths to go under my bra. And change bras 2 or 3 times a day. I don't think anything is going to stop you sweating there.

When I was breastfeeding and had oversupply I used to put the bamboo nappy boosters into my bra.

I am trying this out as well!

Really! Never even thought of that!

I bought cotton wraps to go under the braband, I got for comfort but they're intended for sweat. You can just change them in the loo without removing bra.

The ones I bought aren't there now, this sort of thing

I ordered some of the Boody undies some dresses may have fallen in as well…

Amazingly I picked up a two pack of cotton non underwire bras in Sainsbury's today.

Very comfortable and usually I don't like their underwear.

I find the flexi fit bra, though comfortable, is sodden with sweat in extremely hot weather

I don't know anything useful about non-sweaty bras. But apparently the UK does feel hotter than places that are actually hotter than here temperaturr-wise as there is a humid cloud of moisture above us at all times. Unlike nice dry places.

Surprisingly, the chafing shorts made or tights type fabric are actually really cool, but you must wear them alone. They are instead of, not as well as, underwear.

Roll on antiperspirant under boobs, where legs meet body, across forehead/where glasses sit.

I use folded tissue paper but I guess pp's kitchen roll could work too although I find it more "rustly".

Finally, if you are wearing a dress or skirt I can highly recommend mens boxers. They are a lot looser and can look like shorts.

Instead of? I couldn’t wear the snag shorts without undies. I tend to wear cycling shorts rather than those as they make me too hot. But not worn them without undies….

It’s a revelation.
suddenly becomes breatheable, instead of feeling like a shrink wrapped turkey. They have a little cotton gusset. A bigger cotton gusset would be better, mind…

The Boody undies are amazing - so comfy and do what they should!

have also got some step one bras which are great.

i don’t think I’ll ever beat this but this has all helped so much. The Boody dresses are also really nice!
