Why are my bras chafing all of a sudden?

[Wines Not Whines]

My bras started to chafe me, so I thought I needed new ones. I bought the exact same style in 2 different sizes in case size was also an issue. I've been wearing these types of bras for years with no problems until the past few weeks. Both sizes of the new bras are chafing me, even with Body Glide, and on relatively short runs. I don't get it. Did my skin suddenly get more sensitive? Now I have 5 useless bras!

I do have one (different) bra that seems ok, but I can't get by with one bra! And it's expensive, too!

If you're chafing on every run, I bet your skin IS more sensitive than usual Unfortunately I have no amazing suggestions to help. That is the super-suck.

Try something thicker than BG. I prefer Sportwax. Maybe even a touch of Vaseline would help. I find that BG is too thin and doesn't last as long for me.

Thanks, I'll try this. In the meantime, I just ordered two more of the bras that still seem to be ok. $70!! Argh. Those are from Athleta, so at least I can return them if they cause me problems.

I've had the same problem recently. Bras that previously wouldn't bother me started chaffing me in random spots. Like my back. I've just started using Body Glide on the entire band of my bra.

Great, glad to hear it! I may have more for sale soon if I can't figure out what's going on! LOL. The one I sent you wasn't one of the chafing ones; it just didn't fit me right.

Well I will certainly take them, chafing or not I should take a picture of all the old, cotton, walmart bras I typically work out in. It's sad painful to even think about.

This is exactly what has happened to me! WTF is going on!?! (Sorry I can't be of any help)
I think I may try vaseline... I've heard it can work a lot better than body glide

I am sorry that you're still dealing with this. I am suddenly extra prone to armpit chaffing, so I feel your pain. I hope something works out for you soon.
