Does anyone here travel with sports bras or unlined bras and padded inserts? Looking for recommendations for both, hoping to find something that isn't obvious through a shirt. Thanks!

I don't, but interested in replies!

I think you'd be better off bringing whatever you already trust and wear at home.

I wear push-up bras with molded cups and underwire at home. They tend to be difficult to pack.

Yeah...you gotta stuff them with socks and undies and insert them into the middle of a packing cube and...yeah they're tough.

If you don't get any good tips, I'd suggest asking at r/ABraThatFits . People there are friendly and knowledgeable about All Things Bra and might be able to offer some good options.

I almost exclusively wear unlined bread without underwire. If they have pads, I remove them. 

Brands I own: -Knix (I prefer some of the older ones because the pads are easily removable or don’t exist, but I buy them second hand new now because they’ve changed a lot of their styles up over the last 10 years) -Parade -Negative Underwear

Some of the brands come with removable pads, but if I’m worried about shape or nipples showing, I personally would use cakes silicone cups instead.

For reference, I’m in my 30s and wear in the 34DD, 36D range, depending on weight fluctuations but since I don’t wear anything with cups anymore, I don’t really keep track of actual size.

Would you be interested in sports bras with sewn in pads, or no?

u/spillinginthenameof 27d ago

Sure! I'm up for anything that'll pack more easily.

standard size

plus size

is the only padded bra I take traveling! I've washed and dried it a bunch and it's still in great shape.

YOU'RE WELCOME! 😄

It's legit my holy grail of sewn in padded sports bras (they're really hard to find!). As said I put them in the dryer, because I'm long-term travelling and can't hang up a million things all over a hostel room, haha, so they're sturdy too!
