Keep your cool in the summer heat

Things are heating up!

According to our friends at The Weather Outlook, the UK and Europe are in for a hot, dry summer — and we’re so ready for it. But as the temperatures rise, comfort becomes key… and it all starts with what you’re wearing underneath. Cotton is the go-to fabric for summer — light, breathable, and perfect for staying fresh when the heat is on. So read on to see a few of our cotton-blend bestsellers that will keep you comfy (and fabulous) all summer long.

Why Do Cotton bras Keep You Cool?

Why choose cotton? Because your skin deserves a breather! Cotton fibres are naturally breathable, gentle on sensitive skin, and great at absorbing moisture — which means fewer sticky situations and more all-day comfort. Whether you’re out in the sunshine or just trying to survive a stuffy commute, a cotton-rich bra helps keep you cool, calm and collected underneath it all.

Cotton bras for breast forms

If you are using a breast form following breast surgery, then you will have even more reason to want to stay cool, the heat can irritate sensitive scar tissue and make you feel really uncomfortable.  So choosing a cotton blend bra is one way to stay ahead of the effects of the heat. We recommend something like our cotton rich Allie (97% cotton) or pretty cotton-blend Rosemary  which are both pocketed on both sides and will offer a comfortable cool fit through the warmer months.

Can I wear a swimsuit if I have a breast prosthesis?

If the warmer weather means you have a holiday planned, then our range of pocketed swimsuits with adjustable straps are purposefully designed to keep your breast form discreetly and securely in place while you swim.  The cleverly placed pockets and slightly higher necklines mean that the breast form won’t move about or be visible even while sunbathing. Simply choose from one of the gorgeous prints or striking plain colour suits on our website and relax in comfort knowing that you are fully covered while looking fabulous! There really is something for everyone in this years collection including a luxurious tankini that can take you straight from beach to bar with the addition of some cool linen trousers!

 

And don’t forget, you can call us for any advice about mastectomy bras, prostheses or your post-surgical swimwear and swim forms on 01908 340 094 Mon-Fri 9-5pm.

Wishing you all a relaxing and super cool summer!
