JulieMay: Lingerie for Sensitive Skin and Menopausal Heat

by Rebecca Forstadt-Olkowski Leave a Comment

Finding lingerie that is designed for women who have allergies to synthetics or experience hot flashes is not always easy. JulieMay is a U.K based company that sells undergarments and nightwear made with silk and organic Pima cotton.

I tried the brand’s Valentina full-cup non-wire bra with matching full-size panties. Its soothing light green floral design is elegant and demure.

Julie May Lingerie

The cup of the bra is made with 100% pure silk, which is cooling. It is a pullover without hooks in the back so the correct size is important. JulieMay bras are recommended by breast surgeons and are soft and comfortable.

I have given up wearing wired bras now that my breasts have expanded with age, but I do feel supported in my Valentina bra as it has a side sling for extra support and forward projection. We all need that, right?

The panties are 78% Organic Pima Cotton and 22% silk. They are high-waisted which I need because I have a belly and are cut high over the hips with a delicate flap to cover up things you don’t want to stick out. The flap is designed to be anti-chafing which can occur if panties are too tight around the legs.

Ethical and organic lingerie

When a clothing item is an ethical brand like JulieMay, it conforms to fair trade and sustainable standards. Many garments are made in sweatshops where workers are treated terribly.

JulieMay only uses eco-friendly detergents that does not contain harsh dyes or bleach which can irritate your skin.

Allergy tested

Each item is scientifically tested and approved by highly qualified dermatologists. JulieMay is the only UK brand certified by Allergy UK. Another plus is that each piece is tagless. There are no irritating tags sewn into the seams which can cause itching.

Breathable and hot flash proof

JulieMay lingerie is designed with moisture-wicking and cooling technology. It draws the moisture away from your skin so you won’t sweat buckets if you experience a hot flash.  Often, menopausal women are sensitive to fabrics like nylon or polyester and may get a rash or hives.

Surgery friendly

JulieMay bras are suitable for breast cancer, cosmetic breast, and cardiothoracic surgeries as the silk keeps scar tissue cool and dry and because they are wireless do not cause irritation or discomfort.

One drawback

I am very pleased with my Valentina bra and panties and love the other styles JulyMay offers. The only drawback is that the company is located in the U.K. which charges a worldwide shipping charge if sent to the U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Despite that, delivery was swift.

My Valentina bra and panty set were given to me to sample and review but all my opinions are my own.
