I to have had a  rash under my arm and under my bra . I thought it was just weather related. I have many VS bras and NOW no what has caused this rash, itching, and redness. Does  anyone know if I can return these bras for a refund?

I just got a bra from GAP and after wearing it for one day I noticed redness on my skin and feel very itchy all the way around my body where the bra touches the skin. Be alert!

I wear several brands of bras and never had any problems. But something they're putting in the new styles must be causing this rash and its NOT just Victoria Secret. I bought an expensive WACOAL bra and after one wearing developed a rash below and around the sides of my breasts. Has anyone else had any trouble with this brand?
Has anyone been able to determine exactly what is in these bras that is doing this. I hate taking the chance of buying ANY brand anymore because if the rash develops, its a waste of money.

Has anyone suffered a rash from a Lillyette Bra? I bought 2 from a department store and got one free.  I was thrilled at the support they gave me, but then I noticed the itching and rash. At first I thought it was from summer heat and sweating.  But then the severity would go away when I stopped wearing the bra. My rash is primarily where the underwire touches. I got a little relief with Gold Bond and more relief with Neosporum.  But I loved the way these bras fit.  Just wondering.  I think lillyette is made by Maindenform.
