I can not believe that this is happening to someone besides myself. I own 5 "Angels" bras, purchased from Victorias Secret. I have not even considered an allergic reaction from the bra itself. I have changed laundry detergents, fabric softeners, soaps, lotions, perfumes, and anything else I could think of to get rid of this rash, but no luck. It had gotten so bad at one point that I wouldnt even put my swim-suit on(also purchased from Victorias Secret), because the rash was so big. I had even thought maybe heat rash. It was very swollen, red, itchy, and miserable. I took Benadryl, used LOTS of hydrocortisone, and antibiotic ointments. I would have to go days without wearing a bra because it was so uncomfortable and painful. During this time the rash would get better. Boy, do I feel stupid not to have considered the bra!! Thank you for the insight. I will reconsider my bra purchases in the future, although I will remain a customer of Victorias Secret.

OKAY, I have a few bras and some of the very sexy bras have a foam in them and when you wash them the foam turns a dark color and there is an odor that comes from them even after a few washings with out wairing them. I had the rash also. Over seas manufacturing has to stop, are the shops clean when making these bras, Please do not try any on till you take them home and wash them. GMC please do a story on the shack over seas that VS makes the bras and panties in. I think we will stop buying them and go back to the 60 & 70's Bra less. Debbie Robinson Pittsburgh, PA

My friends all thought I was nuts when I told them I was allergic to the very expensive bra that I bought from Victoria Secret's. I don't remember the name of it but it was a black strapless bra that I bought to wear to a wedding I was attending and I wound up having to take it off because it hurt so bad and left big red welts that itched really, really bad. Can you please tell me how to get involved in this? All the money I paid for one bra and I can't even wear it!!
