Breast forms and perspiration

Lydia · Post by **Lydia** » Sun Sep 05, 2004 8:57 am

I know that ladies are not supposed to perspire or sweat - we glow ! However, silicone breast forms against the skin does induce a certain amount of, shall we say, dampness. Only the special bras have appropriate breast form containers.

There is at least a partial solution for this that I tried out and use regularly. At your local sewing supply store, buy a couple of pockets. Yes, I mean those simple cotton replacement pockets for the hips of pants. Breast forms fit nicely into the pockets which can be cut down to size. Easy to replace and to wash, as needed. For me, they not only absorb moisture, but allow some circulation and evaporation.

I'd advise against using an anti-perspirant. They could irritate the skin.

Anyone with other solutions?

Hi Willy,

Thanks for the info

I will pass this on to Ahzz

The first time he mentioned to me that he wanted to get silcon breast forms, I did mention that I thought they would cause some sweating problems. ICK!! I may be a GG but just wearing a bra makes me sweat like a pig

*Hugs & Love*

Hi Willy,

If I know it is going to be a hot night, I'll place a sheet of tissue between my skin and the form.

A used dryer sheet works well and smells nice to

HI everyone,
I use a good medicated powder, ussually 'Gold bond' this helps But
a great deal and also cools!
BUT remember to apply it BEFORE you get into that sexy new dress
or blouse, because it can kinda get everywhere

You'll laugh maybe, but I've had very good success enclosing each form in a section of nylon stocking. The excess is just tucked behind, in back of the form.

Cool and very sensuous. (More so than any pocket material could be, I would imagine.) Easy to wash ... and doesn't need frequent washing either, as it wicks away heat and so keeps clean easily.

There is a caveat. You need to get a large enough piece of stocking so it will not crumple the top edge of the form. But I've had no trouble finding that size.

That's how I always wear them, including right this minute, and they feel super.

Love,
