Hot flashes aren’t just a mild inconvenience. For many women in perimenopause and menopause, they can be intense, disruptive, and downright debilitating — striking at any time of day, soaking through clothing, and leaving you feeling completely out of sync with your body.

And while we often talk about lifestyle adjustments and symptom management, there’s one factor that’s frequently overlooked: your bra.

What You Wear Matters — Especially During a Hot Flash

When your internal thermostat suddenly shifts, the last thing you want is a bra that clings, traps heat, or locks in sweat. But that’s exactly what many traditional bras do.

Most everyday bras — even the ones labeled “comfortable” — are made with:

• Foam padding that insulates and traps heat

• Underwires that dig in and feel suffocating

• Tight materials that don’t allow your skin to breathe

These design choices might not matter much in your 20s. But in your 40s, 50s, and beyond, they can turn a hot flash into a full-body meltdown — literally and emotionally.

What to Look for in a Bra During Menopause

Not all bras are created equal — especially when it comes to menopause support. The best menopause-friendly bras are:

• Breathable – Lightweight, open-knit fabrics that let your skin breathe

• Sweat-wicking – Materials that draw moisture away to keep you dry

• Foam-free – No padding that traps heat

• Unwired – Flexible support without rigid pressure points

• Custom-fit – So nothing shifts, rubs, or pinches at the worst moment

How DOUBL Helps You Stay Cool (and Comfortable)

At DOUBL, we started with a simple belief: you shouldn’t have to put up with discomfort just to wear a bra. And especially not in a stage of life when your body is already going through enough.

That’s why every DOUBL bra is designed to work with your body:

• Foam-free construction keeps heat from getting trapped

• Breathable and sweat-wicking materials that move with your body

• No wires to poke or dig in when you’re feeling extra sensitive

• Custom fit from a 1-minute smartphone scan, so the bra hugs your shape 

It’s Not Just a Bra. It’s Relief.

Hot flashes aren’t something to “tough out.” And neither is a bad bra.
Your comfort matters — and you deserve a bra that reflects that.

If your current bra feels like a sauna, it might be time to try something new.
