Best Bras For Travel

Going away? Discover the best travel bras

It’s been a long time in the waiting, but now we’re free to travel to wherever we want. And no doubt you want to get to lots of beautiful destinations. Whether you’re heading off domestically or internationally, one of the first things to think about is what to wear. Then, once you’ve decided on your key outfits, it’s time to consider what lingerie would provide the most comfort, convenience and confidence. Not to mention making the most of your shape without sacrificing your style. We’ve put together a few tips here to show you how.

Choosing the best travel bras

When travelling, you probably only need to pack around two to three bras – depending on your activities. The key to all of them, however, is breathability, convenience of care, comfort and how they work with your wardrobe.

Also, it’s a good idea to ensure you’re wearing the best fitting bras you can. Remember, your breasts can change around every six months. So if a ‘new you’ has emerged from Covid confinement, you should probably consider checking out our fitting guide. Or getting bra-lationship advice directly from our fitting experts. Booking an appointment won’t cost a thing and you won’t need to go anywhere.

Best bras for hot weather

If you’re trying to beat the heat, every little bit of clothing counts. The good news is we have a range of lingerie that breaths beautifully and wicks moisture away so that you can keep your cool, even in the stickiest situations. Because, let’s face it, every woman wants to look cool and carefree in her holiday pics.

Our Sloggi collection will keep you comfortable all day, everyday while travelling. And if you’re on the move and walking around a lot, the  Triaction Zen Top  or Triaction Seamfree Crop Top in particular will be your best friends. They’re both made of breathable fabric for optimal moisture management and that stay-dry feeling. Plus, they both offer great freedom of movement and support.

And if you’re not raising too much of a sweat? The Ever Fresh range will give you unbeatable breathability. Its super dry, super soft Supima ® cotton absorbs moisture fast and is unbelievably soft.

Quick dry bras for travel

While hanging around hotels or even on the road, you’ll find that any bralette or wirefree bra top are the easiest bras to care for – particularly if they have a polyamide/elastin composition. They can be hand washed with mild detergent, patted semi dry with a towel and slung almost anywhere to completely dry.

Other good quick-drying bra options are the Sloggi Zero Feel range and Body Adapt rage. These intimate collections feel like a second skin and are perfect for under any body-hugging clothes.

Best travel bras for large breasts

If you need a little more support we’ve got you covered as well. The Triaction Cardio Cloud Minimiser bra will keep you cool, comfortable and looking good – even during the most physically demanding activities.

But if you’re after something more sophisticated but still good for all-round wear, you can’t go past the True Shape Sensation Minimiser (there’s also a wirefree version), Sheer Minimiser, or Airy Sensation Minimiser bras. These have no padding for faster drying. They also have underwires for a more defined shape – so a little extra care would be needed while packing.

And if it’s sheer comfort in every situation you want, check out the Body Adapt range. Like the name suggests, it actively adapts to your changing body. So even if you gain or lose weight, get your period or just move around a lot, your intimate wear will expand and contract with you.

Seductive, supportive, relaxed or plain?

Depending on your plans, one bra can often cover many bases – which brings us back to only needing two or three.

Take the Amourette range for instance: it’s extremely adaptable yet offers a touch of spice for those intimate nights out. While the Flex Smart collection provides comfort, outfit versatility, elegance and uncomplicated packing. In fact, you can cram it into any small crevice and it will still come out perfectly shaped.

As for colour? It matters. We recommend neutral tones wherever possible to accommodate all the clothing you take on your trip. That said, if you’re into spontaneous dips at swimming spots, a set of bright, matching underwear that dries quickly could be worth packing.

The best travel bra in a nutshell?

Above all, the secret to selecting the best bras and underwear for travelling comes down to what you’ll be doing, where you’re doing it and your personal preferences. We know that your lingerie isn’t the only thing you’ll need to think about on your travels. But getting it sorted is a great start to getting away and making great memories. And you deserve that!
