Comfortable Bras for Long Flights

Our tips to making a long-haul flight more bearable

Jetting off this winter and already dreading the never-ending uncomfortable flight? We feel your pain! Sitting in the same confined space for 10 hours plus is never enjoyable, especially if you are dressed in the wrong attire. This year we propose that you swap your gorgeous extra padded, underwire bra for a more comfortable, breathable option.

We want to help you pick a bra that is so comfortable you'll forget that you are even wearing it. Turn an unbearable plane flight into a seemingly shorter and pain free trip, and before you know it you will be landing in your exotic destination ready for an amazing well-deserved holiday.
