Ladies...advice needed please

Wet weather is here.

It's not really cold yet though so I am wearing my short sleeve t-shirts and joggers.

The million dollar question is how to not look like I'm entering in a wet t-shirt competition without getting too hot.πŸ˜‚

(Whispering) cotton circular pads in your sports bra 🀣 same as girls use on their face. Works for nipple chafe too πŸ‘πŸ»

Dark colour top may be better. Opinion of more seasoned winter runners?

Are you wearing cotton tops? If so, then they'll get wet and stay wet. Whereas running tops will wick away the moisture and should leave you relatively dry. I must say I've never had this problem even though I've been out in really wet weather.

The alternative is just to go for the wet t-shirt look and wear it with pride 😏

My bra is padded, so cold is not an issue, but if it wasn't I would go with GoGo_JoJo's idea

Yes...thanks...mine isn't padded so I have those cotton wool pads on my shopping list for next week : )

All my bras are β€œsolid” so that’s not a problem πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Haha, I've never thought of that πŸ˜³πŸ˜‚

I'd guess with a dark sports bra and t-shirt you'd be safe...at least I hope so, coz that's what I've been wearing πŸ˜‰

My t-shirt is light grey and my bra is blue πŸ˜‚ an accident waiting to happen : )

And I saw above you also have no padding...if on your next cold and rainy run the same guy keeps passing you by you'll know why πŸ˜‚

On the plus side, no padding means it dries quick after I wash it πŸ˜‚

Drying time verses public indecency...your call?! πŸ˜‚, though I'm sure it's not that bad really!

I could just move somewhere warmer ?

A padded sports bra should save the day! X

I am not a big fan of padded bras, I mostly find them uncomfortable. I will try the cotton pads and see how it goes : )

My bra is so tight that there's no room to smuggle peanuts really...! Have you lost weight since you got your bra, could it be time for a new one?

backintime profile image
backintimeGraduate10β€’ in reply toFatgirlslim19

To be honest I have no idea πŸ˜‚. It seems looser around the bottom but not around the boobs.

I have found that there's always room for a peanut it seems lol

Might be worth a trip to the shop to check. Any excuse to buy some running gear πŸ˜† Maybe you can smuggle smaller peanuts...

Next on the list is a watch

Boobgate can wait until I get my birthday amazon vouchers (I always get amazon vouchers lol)

Boobgate πŸ˜†

In that case, I'd say don't worry about the asthetics, just enjoy the outdoor runs!x
