Breathable bra banishes discomfort

Published on May 25, 2010 in Bra features. 0 Comments Tags: , , , .

A new type of bra was recently launched by Breeze Comfort and the company claims that they are the most breathable padded bras and sports bras in the market today.

Conventional bra pads found in padded bras are typically made from man-made materials that prevent the evaporation of perspiration. The result is the accumulation of moisture in the breast cup area, which causes discomfort to the wearer.

Perforations make bra breathable

The Breeze Comfort bra uses a new technology called Ventipad designed to provide ultimate breathability. Unlike traditional bra pads, this new invention has perforations throughout the padding that allow air and moisture to circulate around the chest area.

The idea is simple: keeping cool and dry keeps the wearer more comfortable. Continue reading ‘Breathable bra banishes discomfort’
