What are the best supportive bras for large breasts that won't irritate sensitive skin with HS?
Finding the right bra when you have HS around your breasts can make a huge difference in your comfort. Here are some options that may help:
Recommended Bra Styles:
- Sports bras (look for ones with light, soft material)
- Bra tank tops
- Maternity or nursing bras
- Bras with removable padding (you can replace padding with dressings if needed)
What to Avoid:
- Tight elastic bands
- Metal underwires
- Lots of lace
- Restrictive, tight-fitting styles
Best Fabrics:
- Cotton
- Bamboo-based materials
- Other soft, breathable fabrics that allow air circulation
Avoid synthetic materials like nylon or polyester, as these can trap moisture and heat, potentially worsening HS symptoms.
Many myHSteam members have found that looser-fitting sports bras provide better comfort while still offering support. One member shared that they wear "the largest, loosest, cotton sports bra" they can find for comfort.
If traditional bras are too painful, consider camisoles as an alternative that can provide some support without the irritation.
