If you are like most people, you do at least some traveling during the summer months. As you make your travel plans and prepare for your trip, one of the last things you probably think about is what type of bra you should bring with you, but you don’t want to feel uncomfortable during your travels. Therefore, these are some of the most comfortable bras for midsummer travel.
Travel Bras
You have probably sought the most comfortable women’s underwear and found options you prefer throughout your life. However, have you sought out the most comfortable bras? When you travel, you likely want to feel comfortable and supported but not restricted. Whether you fly or drive, you will likely sit for long periods of time, which can cause some bras to dig into your flesh.
In addition, some travel bras may have hidden pockets where you can hide credit cards, jewelry, a little cash or your passport, keeping them safe. Because of their construction, these pockets are not bulky but hidden within the bra.
Lightweight Wireless Bras
When you travel, you want a bra that supports you without constriction or pain, but wired bras can dig into your sides, especially if you have to carry or stretch to put your luggage in an overhead bin, sit for long periods of time or maneuver through the masses.
A wireless bra is flattering and supportive. You can find options with wide straps that don’t dig into your shoulders. Whether you choose full-coverage or sports bras, your bra should emphasize rather than flatten your shape. A wireless bra also supports you through different activities, from sitting on a plane to hiking up a mountain. Make sure your bra stays in place no matter your activity.
Soft Cotton Bras
Cotton is a natural fiber that breathes. It tends to feel good against your skin, and you can wash it easily. In addition, cotton bras do not tend to wrinkle. Because you plan to travel in the summer, you need a fabric that allows your skin to breathe. These bras are easy to pack as well.
If your skin becomes irritated or gets rashes during the summer, choose cotton bras. In addition, these options are great if you have sensitive skin. Cotton options also shouldn’t feel tight or pinch your skin.
However, when you purchase cotton bras, pay attention to the bra’s shape and manufacturing because you likely want some flexibility without stretching the bra out. Manufacturers who use long fibers tend to produce softer bras.
Bras That Fit
When you search for your perfect travel bra, make sure you choose options that fit you well. You can start with your cup size and back band, but make sure the backband is supportive, fitting tight but comfortable. Choose colors that complement your travel wear. You can choose minimizer bras to better support your chest, and these options also have gentle lift and shaping, reducing sagging. You may even consider going into a lingerie shop and having a bra fitting so you can choose the best options for your trip.
Travel is stressful enough without feeling uncomfortable, unsupported or on display. Therefore, consider your bra choices while you plan your trip.
