11 Stylish Sweat-Proof Bra and Underwear Pieces

by Taylor Fuller

I don’t know anyone who enjoys feeling sweaty. I can’t stand it, and I think the worst part about perspiring is when your underwear or bra becomes wet and then takes forever to dry off. But there are some pretty clever bras made for sweating in, and the best sweat-absorbent underwear designed with sweating in mind is no different. There are actually so many options.

The key to finding a breathable bra or pair of underwear that dries quickly is looking for the right fabric. Anything that is moisture-wicking is what you want to lean towards, which basically means that the fabric doesn’t absorb sweat. That means that you can stay comfortable and dry, whether you just worked out, it’s really hot outside, or you’re wearing so many layers you just can’t help but sweat.

Another awesome fabric to look for is cotton. Cotton is super lightweight and dries very quickly. You can find a lot of cotton bras and underwear that are really cute in the material, as well. But whatever fabric you decide on, make sure the underwear really keeps you dry. After all, there really is nothing worse than spending the day feeling sweaty and uncomfortable.

1. A Wire-Free Bra That Lifts And Gets Rid Of Moisture

You usually don't see regular bras made with moisture-wicking fabric, and that is a shame. There should be more out there like this one by Warner's. It's made with a special 'Chill fx' lining that keeps the cups cool and gets rid of sweat quickly. Plus, the wireless design is more comfortable.

2. A Cotton Bralette That Will Keep You Cool

Cotton is a great breathable material. It's super comfortable and dries really quickly, so you aren't stuck feeling sweaty for that long. Plus, cotton bralettes are thin and perfect for layering on those days that you don't feel like wearing an underwire bra. This one comes in 11 different colors, and it isn't too expensive, so you can stock up.

3. A Lightly Padded And Molded Bra

Wearing a bra with a lot of padding can cause you to sweat more because there is so much material on your body sealing that heat in. So opt for a lightly padded bra that also has a molded cup. It'll allow you to have a more natural shape, and it'll be more comfortable. Plus, this bra has a mesh back that gives you a bit of ventilation (because back sweat is so uncomfortable).

4. Moisture-Wicking Super Thing Sports Bra

There's nothing I hate more than wearing a sports bra that feels like it's sticking to me when I start to sweat. A sports bra is meant to keep you supported, but also to keep you comfortable. And this one is a compression style bra that is super smooth and made with double-layer HeatGear fabric which makes it feel like a second skin. Plus, the lightweight bra uses a Signature Moisture Transport System to keep you dry and wick sweat away.

5. Keep Dry And Stay Comfortable
