Hi, this summer I've been having a rash where elastic from my underwear (and I guess the waistband and belt for jeans) touches my hips. With fall coming, air getting dry, and skin getting drier and more irritable, I'm having skin on the shoulders where my bra straps touch getting irritated too. I wear mostly cotton undergarment, but these parts of underwear/bra are made of rougher fabric, because it has elastic in them, not sure if they're made of cotton.
Does anyone have recommendations for good garment for sensitive skin?
Thank you!
I have sensitive skin and have to use cotton, in undies and bras. It can also be the detergent not being rinsed out completely or being too harsh, try ones that are dye-free, the same with fabric softener sheets.
I have sensitive/dry skin and wear "Jockey for her" underwear, too. I find that the all cotton styles work best for me.
try the different clothes, try a new detergent, try some Aveeno lotion.
& please also try some barrier cream. It's normally used for incontinence, but I use it to prevent chafing along my c-section scar. It works wonders.
Gross, I know, but it truly does work!
I only wear cotton. I have super sensitive skin, so if it's not 100% cotton, I do not buy it!hehe
Try organic clothes. Any chance you have an undiagnosed latex allergy?
Here are places to look for clothes:

I like the jockey natural bamboo cotton line of undergarments.. Macys carries this line and it does go on sale.
Also try a different detergent.

Soma would probably be a good fit for you.
