Wireless, comfy bras for sensitive, eczema and TSW skin

I’ve never liked bras much, they cost a lot of money and most of us just want to take them off the minute we get home. Having a sore, painful skin condition adds an extra complication to this every day clothing item. Have you ever wished your bra was softer, more comfortable and less irritating?

I’ve toyed with the idea of ditching the bra and just burning them all but as someone with a bigger bust and a loathing of being stared at, I feel I need to cover up and keep them secure. The nips do not always stay nicely behaved!

I also get cold in winter too and feel I need that extra covering on the extremities!

As someone going through topical steroid withdrawal, comfort is essential as it can be a challenge to find anything comfy. Let me tell you, having open itching, oozing skin on the boobs is not an easy thing to live with – it can make wearing bras uncomfortable and so here we are, discussing the best bras for comfort, skin sensitivity and healing.

Just a little round up of bras thanks to some Instagram research.

How to wrap up a poorly boob

If you do have oozing TSW boobs, I actually find a bra essential so that I can pop in some gauze and dress, treat and tend to my sore nips. When they were really bad I’d apply aloe vera ( I have one with 99% aloe vera and tea tree in it too) liberally. Then I add a good dollop of Balmonds skin salvation balm, dab on a roughly rub in. Cover with Gauze or conforming bandage and gently tuck into the bra. It’s not easy but I found being braless caused too much friction and much more pain. I did also effect kind of pouches using really soft scarves, wrapping over shoulder, over boob and back round, tie off and pop on a soft tencel or cotton top. https://balmonds.co.uk/ Use code WHATALLERGY for 20% off.

For oozy bits I also use Lyonsleaf Zinc and calendula cream. https://www.lyonsleaf.co.uk/ Use code WA20 for 20% off

Anyway that’s enough about my boobs. I’d love to hear your thoughts. Do you have a favourite bra? Burnt them all years ago and go free and braless? Let’s share some bra and boob love!
