It's too hot for compression garments for the breast area

I don't know what to do. I've found "comfortable" non-compression bras but they hurt after awhile. All I can do at this point is wear normal bras during the day and compression at night. Any ideas?

    gypsyscout - It's been over 100 degrees already in Houston, so believe me - I know hot. I wear a WearEase Sydney bra - 24/7. They are quite lightweight and dry quickly, but have good compression for breast & truncal LE. My LE PT liked that they are high cut up the back & under the arms. I even wear one in the pool for water aerobics. You can step into them & pull them up if overhead is an issue. This is a woman owned company, made in the USA. If you call them, they are very helpful on the phone. And they have a generous return policy if it doesn't work. They have other compression products if this doesn't look good to you. Just click on 'home' or 'shop'.

    Thanks, Minus Two. I just ordered a bra from WearEase that won't work. I'll return it and get the Sydney. I wasn't sure it was supportive enough and am glad not to be spending $100+. You helped me on another topic; thanks again. It's almost as humid here as Houston but not quite as hot -- I'm from Huntsville.

    gypsyscout - hope it works for you. Yup - we both understand hot & humid.
