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 offers undergarments and nightwear made with silk and organic Pima cotton. Size range UK 8-18 (approx US 4-14) and 30B-40G/42DD.
JulieMay sent me some samples below to review, but I do not have a financial relationship with the company.
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.
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 known for their softness and comfort.
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 prevent chafing, which can occur when panties are too tight around the legs.
Below is the company’s wireless beige bra and Vanessa brief. The cup of the bra is made with 100% pure silk, and the body fabric is a blend of 78% organic Pima Cotton and 22% silk. The brief body fabric, which also comes in cocoa to match skin color, is also 78% organic Pima Cotton and 22% silk, with the crotch 100% pure silk for all-day freshness. This bra has a back closure, but be sure to measure for the correct cup size, as I could have used a size larger in that department.
Ethical and organic lingerie
When a clothing item is from 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 do 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.
