4. Working Out: Sports Bra

While sightseeing, a night out and dinner plans are all important considerations when packing bras for a trip, don’t forget to consider any high-impact activity or workout that you might engage in during your time away. Whether you are hitting the hotel gym, hiking or going for a run along the beach, having the right sports bra is crucial for comfort and support.

Consider the intensity of your expected workouts. For activities like running or jumping, opt for high-impact sports bras and medium-impact or low-impact for yoga or pilates. You’ll also want a bra made from moisture-wicking fabric that will keep you cool and dry, especially in warmer climates or during intense workouts. 

Our Kinetic Adjustable Sports Bra is a great option for your workouts. Unlike most other sports bras, it features an adjustable back closure that makes it easy to put on and take off, and its straps are also adjustable. Moreover, the breathable, moisture-wicking fabric will help you stay cool and comfortable, even while working up a sweat. 

Regarding the number of sports bras to pack, just like with everyday bras, it’s essential to pack enough sports bras to last you through your trip without having to do laundry. How many bras should I bring on vacation, you ask? It really depends on how active you are planning to be and how long your trip is. If you envision yourself working out most of your days away, you may want to pack 2-3 sports bras so you can ensure you can rotate them and ensure you have always have a fresh one. Otherwise, one may be enough. Quick-drying fabrics can be a lifesaver in these situations, allowing you to wash and air dry your sports bra overnight for reuse the next day.

How to Wash Bras on Vacation

While the goal is minimizing laundry on vacation, washing your bras occasionally, especially sports bras, is crucial for hygiene and maintaining their lifespan. After all, you don’t want to be stuck with a drawer full of dirty, smelly bras during your trip. Now that you know how many bras to bring on vacation, here’s how to handle bra washing on the go.

The good news is that washing bras on vacation doesn’t have to be a hassle. In fact, it’s quite easy to keep your bras fresh and clean even if you can't access a washing machine. If you do find yourself needing to wash your bras, you can easily wash them in the sink or bath tub of your hotel room. Fill the sink with cool water and a small amount of mild detergent, and gently swish your bras around to remove any dirt or sweat. Avoid twisting or wringing them, as this can distort their shape. Thoroughly rinse them and squeeze out any excess water with a dry towel.

To dry your bras, lay them flat on a towel or hang them to air dry. Avoid using a dryer, as it can damage their delicate fabrics. If you need to speed up the process, you can put them in front of an air conditioning unit or fan. 

After your bras are clean, here are some tips on how to pack them for travel to keep them looking pristine. Ensure they are placed at the top of your suitcase to avoid squashing them with other things. If you are tight on space, consider rolling your sports bras instead of folding them. This technique can help save space in the luggage while keeping your bras wrinkle-free. 

So there you have it–a few bra tips for your next trip.
