@christine32 Hey there Christine, it's so nice to meet you here!! 🙂 I'm so sorry to hear of all your struggles and suffering...I truly can relate. I'm thankful my symptoms didn't start until I was an adult, though, many days are not ideal, regardless. You mentioned WalMart - I really like any pair of pants that's made of microfiber polyester (similar to dry tek - very smooth'n'shiny look). For my legs, I usually prefer loose clothing, but for my arms I prefer them to be more fitted, due to my pain areas. I like a very soft cotton or cotton/polyester blend. The canvas tshirt brand is really nice, and I have some tubigrip sleeves I wear underneath my shirts most days, or a pair of sport compression sleeves. Other days when I'm totally sensitive and cannot bear the touch of clothes, I will just grit'n'bear wearing tank tops (even if it's cold) and shorts. I like Bobbie Brooks leggings (polyester/spandex blend) or UnderArmour or Nike. For shorts, I like Russell brand; sports bras I like Puma; socks, they must be 100% cotton, and pants it just depends on the day for me, and how bad my pain level is. I do not like jeans, so I do not wear them at all. I do know that Vera Wang makes some really comfortable stretch pants, but otherwise I stick with the loose sport/dress pants. For tank tops, I like adidas mostly. And hoodies - I wear them everyday - as long as they're soft and comfy, I don't really care 🙂 I hope this helps you some. If you have any other questions, I'd love to answer them if I can. Wishing you joy and pain-free days ahead, my friend!!

Yes I definitely have some more questions I think you could answer.

The issue I have with sports bras is the ones I always get they always make me feel constricted and uncomfortable. And with regular bras I can't ever get the size right and the underwire almost feels like it's being pushed into my chest; and then I always feel if I get a more fitted size the bras going to get lifted up my chest which is why I buy them bigger. Any suggestions?

Do you know if they have tubigrip or compression things for your stomach because I feel like thats what bothers me the most and would make a big difference ?

Any suggestions for underwear brands that are good for senstive skin pain? And what type is the best to wear?

I’ve also seen that old navy has some good athletic clothesI also don’t like pants with tight fits in the waist.
