I'm pleased to introduce Net Positive, a shopping site for intimates that specializes in underwear and bras for sensitive skin. Their bra selection includes only soft wire-free bralettes, all made from either 100% organic cotton or a blend of organic cotton and hemp. Straps are adjustable.

Hemp can make underwear and bras more durable and breathable, also likely helping these bralettes maintain their shape. However, Net Positive's all-cotton options may be a better choice for the most sensitive skin. You'll know best what you need, depending on the condition of your skin and where your sensitivity comes from.

Sensitive skin can be caused by any number of things, including: dryness; allergies; specific skin conditions, such as eczema or psoriasis; certain prescription medications; nutritional deficiencies; being on the autism spectrum; and/or other medical issues.

But no matter what is causing your skin to be sensitive, it helps to wear gentle fabrics like cotton that won't aggravate the problem. You'll also want to make sure that your bra doesn't fit too tight, cut into the skin on or underneath your breasts, or rub against you in any way that is uncomfortable. That's why Net Positive bras don't have underwires.

Sizing is from XS-XL, corresponding to US women's numeric clothing sizes 0-2 to 16. Keep in mind that because these bralettes don't have spandex, you will not get lots of stretch in the band the way you would from most bras.

I recommend taking an accurate measurement of your bust where it is fullest, around your breasts and across your back, and ordering the size that corresponds to that measurement on the Net Positive chart below. Measurements are in inches.
