Why Choose Latex-Free and Nickel-Free Bra Options?

If there’s one thing many women can agree on, it’s that bras can potentially be uncomfortable for many reasons. But not all bra-related discomfort is fit-related. Common allergens like nickel and latex can contribute to skin issues like allergies, acne, and fungal infections, as well.

So, if you’ve noticed that your delicate skin seems prone to chafing, redness, and similar problems when you wear your favorite bras, you just may be allergic to some of the components they contain. Let’s explore some of the benefits of making the switch to hypoallergenic bras that care for your skin instead of irritating it.

 Why Does My Bra Irritate My Skin?

• Skin infections: Chafing, sweat, and subpar bra quality can combine with viruses, bacteria, or fungi to cause and exacerbate skin infections.
• Allergic reactions: Many bras contain common allergens, including nickel and latex, that the wearer isn’t aware of.

• Unbeatable support that you don’t have to worry about matching with a separate tank
• Staying cooler during warm weather or low impact physical activity
• Simplifying numerous outfits by requiring fewer layers
• Your breasts feel squished or crowded when wearing a bra.
• Your bras make you look like there’s a watermelon or similar object under your shirt.
• Health issues related to chronic pain and bra-related shoulder strain

• Thongs are the most efficient option to reach for when you don’t want to risk ruining your outfit with visible panty lines.
• Thongs are terrific solutions for women who prefer a “barely there” approach to underwear.
• Thongs can be elegant, feminine, and distinctive ways to add some pop to your lingerie collection.
• Poor fit, due to issues related to band size, cup size, and improper fittings
• Inadequate support, especially in wire-free options
• Health issues related to chronic pain and bra-related shoulder strain

How can switching to latex-free and nickel-free bras help improve comfort and skin health?

It’s estimated that up to 20 percent of people in the United States are allergic to nickel. Around 6 percent are allergic to latex. Many people who have these allergies are unaware that these might be present in their bras. Others don’t realize they have these allergies in the first place or may develop them suddenly.

Switching to options like latex-free bras, nickel-free bras, and allergen free bras in general helps take allergies off the table, restoring your skin health and comfort. At Evelyn & Bobbie, we’re all about bras that support optimal health and comfort, so you can count on our bras to remain free of nickel, latex, and other common allergens.

What Are the Benefits of Choosing Latex-Free and Nickel-Free Bra Options?

Whether or not you have known allergies to consider, there are quite a few benefits associated with opting for nickel-free and latex-free bras over the alternatives. Here are a few key examples:

• Bras for sensitive skin and hypoallergenic clothing options, in general, are better for your skin overall. In addition to being allergen-free, they’re more likely to breathe better, be made of quality materials, and support overall health.
• Hypoallergenic bras are more inclusive, so anyone can wear them without worrying about the consequences. This includes those recovering from surgery and other medical procedures.
• Bras without clasps or underwires have the added benefit of being safe to wear in MRI machines.

In other words, nickel-free and latex-free bras are often simply better bras. They’re made to meet exceptional quality standards, promote optimal health, and keep wearers comfortable on every level.
