All-natural cotton and silk bras for GALs who hate wearing ’em

You know when you buy that one garment that just works? So you wear it literally every time it’s washed? That’s my Julie May “Georgia” Silk Back Support Full Coverage Wireless Organic Cotton Bra.

Full disclosure: I hate wearing a bra, and usually only do so for fashion, when I work out, or to bypass coworkers’ stares. Plus, I have fibromyalgia, which makes wearing straps and underwire sometimes painful — not to mention the discomfort from my recent perimenopausal boob sweats.

The “Georgia” is made from 78% organic prima cotton and 22% silk, with the cup being 100% pure silk. This super-soft, natural fabric combo — the blend for all of Julia May’s products — cools the skin and wicks away moisture, making hot flashes less miserable. 

If that’s not lovely enough, this line of lingerie is allergy-friendly, antibacterial, and hypoallergenic, using dye-free organic cotton — free of chemicals, phthalates, and flame retardants that could cause skin irritation.

Julie May’s exclusive production site conforms to ethical, fair trade, and sustainable standards, and the U.K. company proactively supports sustainable projects around the globe.

While any piece of lingerie around $80 may seem pricey, this pull-over gem is now my (washed) bra on repeat. It’s comfy like your favorite T-shirt, and pretty so you still feel sensual. You can even throw this bralette in the dryer, which makes the buying equation of quality plus quantity actually add up.
