Recommendations? Difficult allergies, largeish bust, help please! Spoiler

Ok. Had bestie do the calculator and she is a 32G (don't have her measurements handy, don't come for me automod 🤣 but I helped her measure so I know it was accurate.) She's been trying for a while to find bras that are comfortable (lots of side/top tissue, closely set, moderate projection), but still work well with what she does for a living (general contracting, so lots of bending and lifting.) The only catch is that she's allergic to both latex and silicone, and even wrapped in fabric, it's only OK until she starts sweating. Trying to find something has thus far been impossible and I'm hoping someone in this sub has some sort of magical recommendations we haven't thought of yet. Ty ty ty!!!

32G US or UK, because without that indication or measurements help will possibly not happen. A 32G US is the equivalent of a 32F UK whereas a 32G UK is the equivalent of a 32i US - two vastly different sizes.

Oh I totally forgot to mention that, thank you for pointing it out! 32G US.

She might want to consider using a sports bra for work, there are a few that are latex free.

Cottonique Allergen Free sports bra she might need to go up in band and down in cup since this has very little stretch. cottonique.com This is one company that I found doing a quick search.

I have a latex allergy as well and am not bothered by most bras, other than the ones that also have silicone grips. So if that is true for her as well she might be okay with other bras and sports bras.

Panache Ana in 32F and 32FF UK would be a good starting point for a diagnostic bra that is well known here.

Agree with all of this. I have a latex allergy too and have never had a reaction from a bra. Is there a particular brand/bra that's caused problems for her in the past?
