Fitness Fridays: How to Keep Cool & Comfortable During Workouts

Learn About Breathable Bras for Workouts & Fit Tips

Staying comfortable during a workout isn’t just about wearing the right shoes or choosing the best exercise routine—it also comes down to your lingerie and activewear. In this blog, we will help you find breathable bras for workouts that will keep you cool, comfy and supported! The right bra can make all the difference in staying cool, dry, and supported, no matter your activity level. At Lisa’s Lacies, we believe every woman deserves comfort and confidence, so let’s explore how you can keep cool while staying active.

1. Choose Moisture-Wicking Fabrics

One of the biggest discomforts during exercise is sweat buildup. Traditional cotton bras might feel soft, but they tend to trap moisture, leading to discomfort and irritation. Instead, opt for moisture-wicking fabrics like:

  • Microfiber & Nylon Blends – These fabrics pull sweat away from your skin, helping it evaporate quickly.
  • Mesh Panels – Bras with breathable mesh allow for better airflow, reducing heat buildup.
  • Bamboo Fabric – Naturally breathable and gentle on sensitive skin.

Lisa’s Lacies Pick: Try our breathable wire-free bras designed with lightweight, moisture-wicking fabric for all-day comfort. And no, just because you opt for wire-free doesn’t mean you’re sacrificing support! Check out the Boundless by Panache or even the Soft Sports by Goddess.

2. Get the Right Fit for Movement

A well-fitting bra is key to preventing discomfort during workouts. If your bra is too tight, it can restrict movement and cause irritation. If it’s too loose, it won’t offer the support you need. Here’s how to find the perfect fit:

Snug but not tight: Your bra band should sit comfortably without digging in.
Adjustable straps: Straps should stay in place without slipping or leaving marks.
Supportive under-band: Even if you prefer wire-free bras, a strong under-band helps with support and stability.

Lisa’s Lacies Pick: Our plus-size sports bras offer great support without sacrificing comfort—perfect for low to moderate-impact workouts. Give the Activate by Sculptresse a go – she ranges from a 12-24 and cups D-K!

3. Prioritise Comfort 

Underwires can sometimes cause discomfort during movement, especially if they dig in or shift around which is typical in ill-fitting bras (which s many of you are unfortunately too used to!!). A wire-free bra with a wide under-band and structured cups provides the same level of support without irritation. Our activity levels and type of activity will be important here, so it’s important to discuss yours with one of our staff members to ensure the correct style and fit for you.

Lisa’s Lacies Pick: Our wire-free, breathable bras keep you cool and supported, making them a fantastic choice for active days.

4. Opt for Light, Seamless Layers

Layering can be a great way to stay cool while exercising. Instead of bulky or restrictive bras, choose lightweight, seamless styles that move with your body.

Lisa’s Lacies Pick: Our High Cut Sports Bras by Glamorise are perfect for layering under workout tops while keeping you cool and irritation-free. PS she’s wire-free and ranges from a 12 to 28 and cups C to J.

5. Care for Your Bras to Maintain Breathability

To ensure your bras stay fresh and breathable, follow these care tips:

  • Hand wash when possible to maintain fabric integrity.
  • Use a very gentle detergent to avoid residue buildup that can trap moisture.
  • Air dry instead of using a dryer to preserve elasticity and breathability.

Stay Cool & Confident with Lisa’s Lacies

Your lingerie should work with you, not against you—especially when staying active. Choosing breathable fabrics, wire-free designs, and a proper fit will keep you cool, comfortable, and confident during any workout.
