Breathable bras?

Currently dealing with dermatitis and it’s nearly gone but can anyone please recommend a bra that is unlikely to cause this (dermatitis flare-up) again?

Breathable, cotton? I don’t know what I’m looking for, I’ve always just worn normal T-shirt bras or push-up bras. Something thick enough that covers nips would be good. Also soft as I’m in early pregnancy so experiencing some breast sensitivity.

Thanks in advance!

When I was having sore boob issues I wore a cotton vest top under my bra. Not the answer you were looking for but could help?

M&S do a post surgery white cotton bra.

Forget the post surgery bit, it’s a cotton crop top with a wide band and is designed to be as comfortable as possible for obvious reasons.
in this hot weather I’ve dumped all my other bras

Have you looked at boody? They do bamboo ones. The t shirt bras have moulded cups and they don’t use underwire . The fabric is fairly thick and I do still sweat in them but they’re more comfortable than your average scratchy lacy type.

I’ve bought a pack of 3 100% cotton bras from M&S recently and they’re amazing - no wires but keep good shape (im a c cup) and I always have 100% cotton pants too

I find anything manmade fibres especially in this heat awful against my skin. I’d go to your local M&S and have a look and see what they have, ours had quite a lot of options.

decent underwear is an absolute necessity I’d say
