Are there any Canadians with rashes from La Senza bras?

I have an itchy rash under my breasts and since reading about the Victoria Secret story I've realized it's probably from my bra. I got it from La Senza a Canadian company that's owned by Limited Brands, the same company that owns Victoria Secret. I've only had a rash since wearing bras from La Senza. Like the Victoria Secret bras my La Senza bras are also made in China.

If you're Canadian and have been experienced this rash, I've started a discussion at a Canadian forum:

I have been wearing La Senza bra's for a couple years with no problems until recently. I've been itchy for about a week now. I figured it out today when I looked at my breasts after my shower this morning. The rash is identical  to where the bra sits on my body - it looks like a a reverse sunburn and sooooo itchy!! Today I wore a camisole under my bra and that gave me some relief. Problem is that all my bras have some foam in the cups with the exception of my sports bras. I guess that's what I'll wear until I can find something suitable.

i work in a la senza and the girls and i have discovered that we have been getting rashes on our arms and hands from the panty and bra tables also when we recieve new stock the product smells like nail polish... we mentioned it to head office and did nothing and denied it all but really this is happening.. the only thing they said u can do is wash it before u wear it but we all know its the chemicals they put on the stuff

I DON'T BELIEVE THIS!! i have also had this unbelievably itchy and now red, raw and seeping (sorry for the grossness) rash under my breasts coming and going for a few months now!! i only use this one type of bra coz its great support, but maybe this is why!!?? i wonder if it's the wire?? as it's only there that i get the rash! i feel a bit stupid now for not thinking of it earlier!! i went to the doctor and was soo embaressed and she sent me to get all different blood work. she thought maybe thyroid, blood sugar levels. I guess it's because i have other female conditions that i thought nothing of the bra. Anyway, thank you for posting your issues, i don't feel so alone and freekish now that i know im not the only one!! thanx, jude.
