I am a large breasted woman at 44DDD and cannot stand to wear a bra now lately as my skin is so extremely sensitive as it is getting worse as I get older. I am going to be 70 this year. Does anyone have a solution that works for them? Thank you in advance!

I am like you, large and in charge(sz G) and if I am home I do not wear a bra as it causes me too much pain. However, a fairly taught tank is a good alternative. I buy the cheapies from Walmart.

For large-breasted individuals with lupus and sensitive skin, consider these tips:

1. Go Bra-Free Comfortably: Layer a loose, dark blouse over a tank top for coverage without a bra
2. Choose Gentle Fabrics: Opt for natural materials like cotton to avoid irritation
3. Try Alternatives: Look into bralettes or camisoles with Show Full Answer

I'm a 58 ddd so getting a rash under my bra is pretty common. I use desiden baby rash cream under my breast to keep the area protected from wetness. That works pretty good and when I don't want to wear a bra I put a white wife beater T-shirt on under my top. Hope that helps
