I heard an ABC News story on the way to a tennis match that gave me pause. A woman and her attorneys have filed the paperwork for a lawsuit claiming that her Victoria’s Secret bra gave her a rash so bad that it interfered with her sleep. Apparently the insidious component is FORMALDEHYDE.
In our bras! Why?
Turns out that many other women have the same complaint, and names are being collected for a class action suit.
As a long-time Vicki’s customer and former employee, I was interested in the story. Luckily for me the offending bras were Secret Embrace and Very Sexy Extreme Me.
I mentioned the story to my partner, who was horrified since she also has a mysterious rash down her side just below where she is embraced secretly by her VS bra. Punky was shocked that she could be allergic to her bra.
Unfortunately, VS kept the bra on the shelves after complaints were made claiming strict quality controls. They naturally knew nothing of formaldehyde-laden padding. But someone knew. I doubt that it’s a manufacturing by-product.
Caveat emptor applies to underwear!
But we always have the old stand-by, The Miracle Bra. Maybe it also cures rashes.

I am depressed. I adore my Vicki’s, and there must and shall be high quality bras in my future. I’ve had an Angel’s bra…I can’t go back! The wonder bra or miracle bra or whatever pales in comparison, a cheap facsimile. A rank imitation!
Funny title though. Teehee. Cleavage rash.
