str: Looking for the ultimate bra for traveling

[cransplash]

I'm looking for a bra for traveling that has these characteristics. Does anyone know if a bra like this exists?

- Nude colored
- Preferably wire-free
- Low support (for sightseeing, walking around, traveling by plane)
- Breathable
- Easy to wash and dries quickly
- Preferably has some shape for the boobs


Sports bras were the first thing that comes to mind, but it just flattens out the boobs and I'd really like something in nude color (which is SO hard to find!)

A bralette is the first thing that comes to mind:

Or a spanx bra:

How much lining do you need? I have perpetually perky nipples, so I can't wear anything unlined or lace-cupped without looking a bit risque.

My go-to travel bra is the Body by Victoria Perfect Coverage bra in nude. It has all of those characteristics except the underwire. (They make a Body by Victoria wireless bra, but I don't know how the thickness/drying time compares to the Perfect Coverage.)

Thanks @uwhuskygirl- am looking at the recs now
GilliC- I need a little lining. I'll take a look at VS- though, it's been a LOOONG time since I've shopped there

FYI - They don't always carry it in the stores, since it's a bit more practical and grown up. I've found that a lot of the VS stores use their shelf space to market more to the teeny-bopper mall shoppers. (I almost never find my favorite boring Body by Victoria panty in the shops.)

I have a great one like this from target. Although, I have white and pink, I'm unsure if it comes in nude. It's kinda by the sports bras, but it's not one. Comes in s/m/l/XL type sizing. Super comfortable!

This is my favorite bra and fits all or most of your requirements. It's my go-to bra for both everyday wear and traveling.

I actually ordered something similar from the gap

I know this is old but I wanted to come back and report - it's called Hanes ComfortSoft and I think it might be the holy grail of travel bras.  It's quickdry material so it will be easy to handwash and hang dry.  It's really soft, no underwire or padding, but it fits like a normal bra so you won't look like you're wearing a sports bra under cute shirts or dresses.  Target had it in white and a medium heather gray...no nude.  There were some similar types that came in nude in the same section, but those fit like sports bras (over the head, no clasps) and had thicker straps.

I bought 2 of the ComfortSoft ones for my upcoming trip to Thailand.  Perfect!
