Wet commutes and underwear

[Archeress]

This is one for women really... today after cycling into work everything was soaked (for the first time ever). I was mostly okay after a change of clothes except for my bra. I had on a t shirt bra that had soaked up the water like a sponge and didn't have an alternative but to carry on wearing it as I have to wear smart business clothes, for me this means a blouse. It was pretty unpleasant and I had wet patches coming through the blouse. I only have a 3 inch deep drawer at work and I already keep deodorant, body spray, make up, hair brush and my special mug overnight so the thought of trying to squeeze a bra in there isn't going to be much fun. Any suggestions?

Keep one in a plastic bag in your bag?

 

[Markymark]

Well, not a bra as I'm a bloke but I keep spare pants and socks at work so same principal.

I don't know... this is an inclusive forum

My wife's sports bras pack down pretty small, not ideal I suppose but better than risking skin infections and chafing.

I'm a geezer but for the record the middle option gets my vote. Could it possibly be adopted as a kind of 'dress down Friday' sort of thing regardless of weather, in the interests of office morale?

As they scrunch up small, could you not keep a neutral coloured bikini top at work. Not ideal, but you'll only need it every now and then....

Take a spare in a waterproof bag or leave one in your desk

I keep a shoe bag on a hook on the back of the door in the ladies. It has spare undies, wipes, antiperspirant, brush etc. Everyone knows it's mine and no one minds. If there wasn't a hook there, I would leave it on a coat hook.
Hope you don't have to wear a wet bra again!

Well, I have never worn a bra, and I like my men's hands nice and warm, but, any port in a storm beggars can't be choosers, so I picked the last option!!



Sorry.

That must have been a right soaking!
If you wear "non spongy" light bras - I think they are made mostly of Lycra, those dry very fast.

as a fella I don't know if my 2 vote will count but, as a fella I'm voting 2.

If for no other reason its bound to be better than sitting in wet clothes risking a cold passing it on to work colleagues forcing everyone to take time off work, forcing the business to close making everybody unemployed, making them unable to make mortgage payments which will force them to live on the streets turning to drink and drugs for comfort & shortening there lifes, ultimately people would suffer & end up having ill feelings towards you.

all this would be avoided if you went bra less & may even boost profitability in the work place as work colleagues would not dare take time off incase it happened to rain that day and you let the girls roam free below your shirt, everybody was able to afford lifes little luxury's making for happy loving families & a better Britain as a result.

all due to going bra less!

ok i may have exaggerated a few points but you get the idea.

I always carry spare underwear with me in my panniers in plastic bags, just in case , cycling clothes with dry reasonably quickly but the undies will be dry. would that be possible? or cycle in to work braless and carry one?

No 2 but lose the blouse; you might be offered a bigger drawer.

I don't wear a bra - they don't even make teenagers training bras this small - but I do have spare underwear in my desk drawer. A camisole top - a ladies version of the vest - doesn't take up much space. It'll save your modesty under a thin top.
If you don't have much drawer space could you get a small plastic box or something to keep stuff in under your desk?
