Ok, this is really freaking me out because I only wear VS bras (I have sooo many) and I just wore one that I bought for the first time and the next day I had an itching sensation under my breast. I got home and looked in the mirror and it looked as if someone had punched me. The area was huge and it was very red and parts were black and blue. I said I was going to wait it out to see what happens in a day or so because it could be just a heat rash; however on day 2, I experienced pain as if there were open scratches but there were none visible. Day 3 it looked as if it was beginning to heal and you could see where it had started to dry up and it itched like crazy; later that night I looked again and my skin looked like surgical tape had been applied. It was very discolored (very dark in color) smooth and shiny but depending on how I moved, it would wrinkle. It was weirdest thing I’ve ever seen…I began to panic. I knew I had to go to a doctor after seeing this so I had planned to go the next day after work. The next morning, it appeared the same way, but around lunch time I had gone to the restroom to look at it and I saw something total different! I lifted my shirt (unable to wear a bra) and the skin that was once tight and smoothed over had developed two lesions and my shirt was damp which led me to believe that there was some type of drainage and there was a foul odor. And it burned like hell!!!! This was horrifying for me!!! I went home took a bath before I went to the doctor (embarassed of the odor) and the smell would not leave!!! I went to PriMed and he gave me a steroid cream. I’m still going yo follow up with my OB; however, this has been a traumatic experience for me because Ive never experienced anything like this. It’s crazy because when it happened I immediately thought it has to be the bra!!! Then I was think how could a brand new bra do this? I googled my symptoms and found this website and it makes sooo much sense now!!!

Christie; much like your story my rash didn’t appear immediately. Last year I had a rash of unknown origin under my left armpit. I changed soaps, deodorants and never figured out what caused it, but doc prescribed a steroid cream to rub on it and it cleared up about a week later. I bought two new VS bras a month ago and I have noted some itching under the bra at the baseline. Two days ago this itching became welts, looking like burns or hives with raised red edges and very painful to the touch. I removed the bras yesterday when I realized they are causing this, but the pain remains. How long before this clears up. I called the VS line today and hooked up with the medical line guy, kinda weird that they need to have a medical person, but I explained my symptoms and told him I am rubbing the cream I got last year on the tissue but pain remains. He took my name and number and gave me a case number. WHO is doing the Class action suit against this company ? Why are these bras still on the market. For PETES sake, dont you think we could make these in America for $50 each ????

OMG, I just figured out it was the VS bras that my husband bought me for Christmas. It didn’t start right away though, but eventually was red itchy painful and all over the breast in the shape of the cup (mostly on the outside side). I stopped wearing these bras and tried to stop wearing any top as much as possible (which is not very easy). The rash got better and almost gone, but now looks scarred. Yesterday worn a VS bra again and it is BACK! Called VS and got their medical alert line (why does a clothing firm have a medical alert staffed live at 7am?) was told to just stop wearing the bras and use cold compresses…. ugh. Is there a class action lawsuit to join? I live in NJ.

I remember when the lawsuit first aired on tv and I saw the lady decribing her systomsof a rash and burning and flaking. It took me a few days to connect the dots. I remember the VS lawyer stating that all you need to do was wash the bra and it will be ok. Will I have washed that bra numorous times and it wasnt ok I still broke out when I wore the bra, I had to throw it away. I figuered it was one time thing the rash will heal,the rash never completed healed and I now have scars for life. I continued to support VS. Stupid I now know. It is two years later and I recently bought another bra and I am having the same rash again. Sad to say that I now have to say good-bye to VS. I can no longer support the company that is damaging my body.

I just called VS today. I have two biofit bras that are giving me a HORRIBLE rash. Only in the cup area where the fabric is the crisscross of VS and biofit words. It has taken me weeks to figure out that it is these bras. I am actually having a mix of reactions — racing heart/sort of anaphylactic reaction as well. (I am allergic to latex and this is a similar reaction). I have seen the doctor and been taking medication. The rash will not go away. 🙁 They want me to send them the bras ASAP. VS is sending me out a shipping package. I am tempted to take them to be tested. I don’t know where I would even do so. Will investigate. Now that I have seen all of these comments I at least know that I am not losing my mind. I have worn VS bras since I was a teenager and I am 31. This is terrible and I hope that the company can make it right.

After reading all the stories they are all so similar to my story. I have been a VS shopper for many years I started with the body fragrances 5 years ago, and then slowly went into purchasing bras about 2 years ago when they went on sale. I started with the itching right above my nipples, and then at night it seemed to worsen with itching and burning as a couple of weeks went by. I started to notice scaring on my breast. I went to my doctor he suggested I try over the counter creams. As time went it seemed nothing is working not only did it itch so badly, but the burning pain continues however the itching and the pain have now moved to the nipples and pretty much all over my breast. I went back to another doctor she prescribed a cream and gave me pills. The most current doctor I saw told me if it did not get any better in a week. She would be sending me to a dermatologist, I am just praying for a miracle healing. I think our voices need to be louder, I don’t think VS thinks they are doing anything wrong, they continue to make a fortune at our expense and never give it a second thought about the women who are suffering and will continue to suffer until SOMEONE PUTS A STOP TO IT.

I experienced severe pain, rash that started around the nipple area and soon expanded surrounding my breast! It was extremely itchy and my breasts were imflamed! I actually thought I may have cancer — Pagets Disease. Since breast cancer runs in my family, I had a mammography with diagnostics done just to be sure. I got the news today that I was ok…what a relief. Only to uncover that it was due to my VS bras!

Thank you for this information as I have suffered from a rash but thought it was the material and didn’t realize it could be from a toxic chemical.

I wore a new bra and new pair of underwear and broke out in bad hives around my breasts especially around the underwire and between them. I have a painful rash from the underwear wear the band is. The hives even started spreading to my arms. This is horrible. I will never buy victoria secret again.

Same here…after a few months of having welt/pimple like marks on my breasts, feeling scared that it was something serious and having my gynecologist perplexed, I began wondering if it was my new VS bras, very sexy and bombshell. I decided to do a search of victoria secret bras allergic reaction… and WOW, this confirms it!

I can’t believe I’m just finding out about this now. I’ve worn VS bras for years. In January I bought a new IPEX bra, and subsequently bought 2 more bras. I’ve had severe iching, redness & welts, even after washing the bras. I thought I had some rare condition, but after everything I’ve read I’m convinced it’s the new VS bras.

I wore a particular type of victoria secret bra for five years now. But in January, 2010 I bought four of victoria secret other type of bras that were on sale. I started itching and had painful rash around the area where the underwire covers. now i have red, very painful sores around my breast. i bought the bras back and was refunded my money. I believe these bras were brought down in the store because they are the exact ones giving women these rashes. They were trying to get rid of them. There was a boat load of them on sale.

I am scratching and itching like an animal (no offense to animals). I had never seen such itchy blotchy bumps right along the lower bra line. I had to take photos of them with my camera phone. Since I purchased these bra, they have been sitting in the drawer until I get around to wearing them. It’s been at least a year ago since I purchased them and the receipts are already gone or thrown away. I don’t know what to do. Come to think of it, I’ve had worn panties made by VS, and have had to see a dermatologist because I scarred so badly. He had to do a biopsy and I still have a horrible scar from that biopsy. He couldn’t figure out what was wrong, so I just had to swallow that horrible event. So here I am again…except this time it’s with VS bra. Ugghhh…

I truly wish I had known about these bras before I bought them. VS bras are not cheap! I have terrible skin rashes. I have awful scarring. Is there any recourse? VS should be made to STOP selling their bras! It is NOT fair to unsuspecting customers.

I too am a victim. I have been wearing Victoria Secret’s bras for years. Recently, I suffered with a rash and have been actively fighting the rash. Recently, I went to the immergency room for treatment. I need to know how to join the class action lawsuit.

I used to work for Victoria’s Secret years ago. And when we were packing the bras and panties my ears and nose would itch when packing the product. I have worked with people who say the same thing. So they do use something in the manufacturing the product. They are just telling lies.

you have No idea how much my daughter has and still is suffering from the vs bra She was and is a devoted customer.The pain and suffering she is going through is terrible, no doctor of any kind can seen to help or find a cure! Please do something to help her! No one should suffer as she does!

WHEN DOES IT STOP….WHEN WILL SOMEONESTAND UP AND ADMIT THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE AND THE SUFFERING SHOULD STOP? Unfortunate but comforting to know that I am not alone. I WORKED for VS for about 7 years, as a store manager. Just like many of you I love my VS bras and have worn them for a very long time. I “trusted” the product and was and still am a very loyal customer. I purchased a bra, online and after wearing this I discovered what appeared to be a tiny cut underneath my right breast, I discontinued wearing the bra, thinking it was a wire issue. This was “3” years and 2 months ago. I have spent a lot of money and have been to many, many doctors….I have spent many sleepless nights in fear of dying from this horrible rash, that cracks open, bleeds, oozes a nasty odor and just simply feels like both my breast are being ripped off my chest every time I try to turn over. I cannot count the tears or worry that not only me, but my family has suffered. I feel as though I have exhausted all options of living without the pain and scarring or healing. I have been going to a Dermatologist for a year, prior to that I went to an infectious disease doctor for 10 days, 3 hours, twice per day being treated with three different meds through an IV. I have been to an allergy doctor and many others. I have been scraped, and punched over and over. I even tested positive for MRSA underneath one of my breast, MR. WEXNER, CAN YOU PLEASE FIND A CURE SO THAT WE CAN FEEL SOMEWHAT HUMAN….AGAIN? I just want to be healthy again and cured from this. Oh yes, I was offered a partial refund too if I chose to return my semi-annual sale bra for about $25, how about a partial refund on the expense of doctors, meds, sleepless nights and the humiliation of lifting your shirt and being looked at like you were going to infect everyone around you…what about wondering if you were going to be around to see your children graduate because you are so afraid that this infection would cause you to lose your life. That is what I think about not just once in a while, but everyday. You just don’t know what myself and the many other women are going through physically, mentally and emotionally…unless you walk in our shoes…or should I say wear our bras.

I too had severe peeling and blistering rash from VS Body and Ipex bras. My doctor could not figure it out and checked me for breast cancer which was negative. I stopped wearing the VS bras because they aren’t available in Hawaii. It has improved by wearing different bras. I don’t think my breasts are the same though! I called VS and got a partial refund of one bra! Lame. Never shopping there again.

I also recentlty bought 4 new bras and 5 new pares of underwear and I to have experianced the same type of rash as others are reporting I have been to my Dr. and she did a scraping and the results came back inconclusive I think I will be shopping for new under garments and try to find out what they are made of and where they are made.

Due to my size 34 DD I only could get bras at Victoria secret but I had a reaction with my skin it burned, itched around wire area and was painful.I thought it was laundry soap but switched soaps everything.I suffered with pain.I even washed them in plain water several times.It burned my skin and felt like fire on skin.Now I think I am a 32 DDD but no store here has that size so I am stuck and dont know were to get a bra that size.

I have been itching and getting hives for the last several years-all I wear is VS Ipex bras. I stopped wearing them for 4 days and the problem resolved and I figured out it must be the bras. Then my daughter told me a similar story of one of her friend’s mother’s same experience with VS bras.

I am so glad I found this information. I couldn’t believe I got such a bad rash from such an expensive bra. Finally some answers!!! I just visited my doctor a couple of days ago and was prescribed a heavy dose of a steroid cortisone cream for the painful, itchy, and blotchy rash all over my breasts-right where the cup of my bra rests. I was reassured that it is not a yeast infection (which is the first assumption). The only connection was that I just purchased 3 new VS bras approximately a month ago at their after Christmas Sale. I did notice the itching started as soon as I started wearing the new bras. I have been a VS customer for most of my bra wearing life because I have always wanted a good quality bra, and never had a problem until now. My doctor told me that the only explanation is that I am allergic to that particular bra and suggested I wear an older bra until the rash is gone. Ironically, I have been wearing one of my older (about 1 year older) bras from VS and haven’t had a problem at all. I think the main problem is when VS switched from having their garments made in India to being made in China. We have all heard so many horror stories of the poisonous chemicals used over there (does lead paint ring a bell?). I will be calling the 800 number and reporting this to the company. This is unacceptable and I will not allow my health and life to be effected by something like this. I hope all of you call to complain and demand your money back. I really can’t believe this has been going on for so long!!! I will gladly be a part of this lawsuit. VS needes to stop selling products that harm the customers they ultimately aim to please.

I have just 1 Vs bra, due to their high price tag. I wear it on occasion, when I go out to an event or something similar. It does bother me; and I find it irritating, esp. to my back and mid front of my chest. I thought it was all in my head. Wow. I am going to take it back and get my $50.00 back. Formaldehyde is bad news people. ANd yes, just a little bit of extra info here: if you drink diet coke, you are drinking formaldehyde- aspartame, or NutraSweet, you body breaks it down into formaldehyde! Bad news this stuff is.

I have blistering, rashes and permanent scarring where the bra straps are. I called client relations for medical infomation dept. They ask you questions like what symptoms, how long, name of the bra.

I am itching both breasts right now! I also thought it was my detergent but then remembered that I have recently purchased 4 new bras from Victoria’s Secret. The itching keeps me up at night. I have red welts on both breasts. This has been going on for a couple of weeks.

I purchased a new VS very sexy pushup bra in August 09. I have suffered with itching bumps, panic, doctor appointments, creams which have now cost my family about $1000. I thought for sure I had something terminal. I never contemplated that it could be from my new bra. By process of elimination I finally decided today 1-20-10 to google just to see if by some chance anyone else had complained about their VS bra. Wow, was I amazed and relieved. My bra was washed several times but I still got the itchy dry lizard like skin only where the bra touched, so in between I wore my older VS bra which I never had trouble with and the rash would subside. I have worn VS bras for about 10 years. I am so disappointed with this company. They are completely negligent to not post warnings being that complaints started arriving in 07/08. How many of us have had to suffer needlessly because they don’t care about their customers enough to own up. Please contact me if you know of a place to sign my name. I would like to hold them accountable. I have spent so much money in their store and as a loyal customer they owe me much more.

My goodness I would have never thought this could be true, I just bought my very first VS push up bra for $48. I used it one day and it worked great for push up bra. For some reason I was itching all day and now I have rashes on my shoulder and all over my breast area. It looks like I have chicken pox but it is NOT. Why would any company in the USA try to scar their own people by making millions. I have to return this product asap. Personally I am so mad I will never buy anything from VS. I have two kids and I can’t miss work so a 10 hour shift of reddness and itching all day is not a pretty sign.

I am so upset I can’t even put it into words, but I’ll try. I just found all this information about the bra reactions because I was online desperately looking for organic cotton bras because the reaction I had to my Victoria Secret Ipex bras was so severe. Of course I didn’t know it was their particular bras, so I also was looking for hypo allergenic bras when the word allergenic and bras brought up links to allergic reactions to the bras. I’ve been to a dermatologist to whom I still owe money and also got a strong cortisone cream, because the swelling and itch was so unbearable. I literally had to rip y bra off the other day at work and hunch over at my desk til I left. I thought it must be a heat rash or something caused by sweating under my clothes.There’s more but I just don’t even want to think about it anymore right now, it makes me so angry. I’ve had this problem for years and I’ve always worn their bras. I also was fitted at their store so it’s not the sizing. MInd-blowing!

I have been wearing minimizer bras for the last 2 – 3 years. Since that time I have had the exact same rash, oozing, scarring, etc., that all have talked about. The thing is, they are not Victoria Secret Bras. They are Bali as well as a couple other brands. No matter what minimizer bra I wear, I get the rash under my breast. So…..is it a problem specific to Victoria Secret bras? I DON’T THINK SO. I believe this is a yeast infection as there can be a terrible odor when it’s open and oozing. So, DON’T BLAME VS – I think it’s something about the tightness of the bras….the pulling, pushing etc., to “minimize”. Thanks

WOW!!! I am appauled at the comments on here and how every one of the stories are exactly like mine!! I suffered from the same bumps and ithching and not being able to wear a bra from the pain!! And now I have awful scars from this episode and I have many VS bras! Not saying this is the problem, dont want to stir too much! But a little curious that we all have the same problems in common and we all use the same brands when these rashes have happened! I think it should be investigated more and let us know we have a right to know the truth! After all we are the reason they are the #1 selling underwear company!!

I have recently had breast reduction surgery which is where my story starts. I wore the same bra style for the last 15 years but with the recent surgery I had to go shopping for new ones. I purchased Bali bras which had polyurethane foam cups although I was not aware of it at the time. I just assumed they were like all of the rest. Still recovering from surgery I never expected that the rash, itching and burning were coming from my bra. I could only keep in on for an hour or so and then resorted to ibuprofen or Tylenol to dull the pain. On a return visit to the plastic surgeon I mentioned the problems and she indicated I was probably one of the 3% who had extreme sensitivity post surgery. She recommended cortisone cream. I continued to only wear the bra when I had to work and would eventually remove it and put on a camisole.. I NEVER MADE THE CONNECTION until I noticed the burning was getting worse as well as the itching. I did notice it was only when I wore the bras so I contributed it to pressure on the healing tissue. Yesterday, for no known reason, I connected the bra and the itching and pain and looked at the label! When I read the label and saw the word “polyurethane” foam cups I immediately though of chemicals, plastic, petroleum and everything toxic….I sat down at the computer and googled polyurethane foam cup bras and was amazed when I found article after article of women suffering from the exact same symptoms. I then found the enclosed article on the pending lawsuit. Although the lawsuit directly names Victoria Secret, I am sure as bras are mass produced and purchased by manufacturers who in turn place their own label on them, there are certainly more brands involved. My bra certainly could have contained formaldehyde or maybe it is just the polyurethane. One, I am sure, is as toxic as the other. If you read all of the testimonials you will see the references to the polyurethane cups as well. My bra was manufactured in the Dominican Republic. I had purchased 3 and stopped wearing them immediately. I did in fact wear a sport bra the last couple of days and all of the symptoms have disappeared. I still have dry patches and flaking in the area of the breasts and stomach. I hope this will help you or someone you know who may be a victim This Toxic Manufacturing process. I am thinking all cotton and manufactured in the US as the only alternative! It amazes me that this is not plasterd all over the televison. We are being poisoned by our bra manufacturers!

I swear I was losing my mind until I read all the posts that are on different websites, including this site. I am a long time wearer of VS bras (maybe 10 years now). It’s all I wear. I like the front closure ones. I bought two new VS IPEX bras online (I had never bought the IPEX before) and started wearing them (after I washed them in Cheer “Free” laundry soap – I am allergic to soap to begin with) and I have been so uncomfortable with increasing intensity over the past two weeks! I have a “lumpy” that goes from the nipple area and radiates out to the more fleshy area of the “cup portion”. I had trouble breathing, sore nipples (and breasts), runny nose, trouble sleeping, and itchy every where the bra material covers. I have avoided wearing a bra while being strictly at home for the weekend. Swelling seems to be a little better on the “lumpy” area. I am breathing better. Runny nose is better. Still having some pain and itching, but is a little better. I have to say, when I first heard the news report about the lawsuit, I was skeptical – in fact, I was very skeptical. After what’s happened with these IPEX bras – I’m a believer that there is something seriously wrong with VS bras.

I’m glad to know it is not just me! I bought my first VS bra a few months ago and had no problems until a couple of weeks ago when I started itching like crazy. I went to my doc and he told me to quit wearing the bra and gave me some special steroid cream. It’s a little better. After reading these posts I’m taking these back to the store for a refund.

I have worn nothing but VS Body by Victoria bras for approx 15 years. I have suffered for the last 8-9 years with this rash, hives and scarring as described above. I have been to approx 4 dermatologists to only have been told recently that I must have sensitive skin. I have now changed to sensitive laundry detetrgent, soap and lotion and still continue to get the bumps but not as often and I still continue to wear the bras…. OMG who would have thought, I never did…. I think I need to buy new and different bras..

I bought my mother a bra for her birthday from Victoria Secret, she wore it for a few days and broke out with a rash/ hives all around her bra area. She realized it was the bra when she stopped wearing it! I have been a vip member of VS for some time now and spent alot of money in the stores mainly on the bras. I have never expierenced a problem until purchasing one for my mother back in October. For days she was wondering why she was breaking out in rashes and hives, itching and scratching all day, she discovered its the bra when she put her Kmart bra back on. Now after wearing the new bra from Kmart the hives went down but we are very frusterated with VS after all the money we spent with them, how could somthing like this happien. Espicially when all the bras are very pricey.

Amazing,,,,,i have a red rash that started a few weeks ago. It started slowly, but is now under both breasts, and lower on my rib cage right under my breasts. It does not itch, its just red. It does seem to be worse on some days. Probably because i dont wear the VS every day. I have other bras i wear. I will stop wearing the VS and see if it will clear up. I purchased the VS bras around Feb/March of 09, underwire.

Wow! VS had better smarten up. As for everyone who has one of these bras, it won’t get better. Stop using the bras. Your immune system is “trainable” and if you keep wearing a defective bra you will become more and mroe sensitive to the chemicals. Formaldahyde is nasty stuff, it usually kills cells. But it sounds as if the fabrics are chemically unstable, so it could be other molecules. Some “plastic/synthetic” molecules will leach and go into fat cells. I don’t know that that is what is happening but a rash that won’t go way sounds suspicious. Go to your doctor and try an antibiotic cream. Cortisone suppresses immune reactions but can slow healing. So, don’t use it for long. Stop wearing any bra when possible or wear one with a very different construction (cotton sports bra) at home, sleeping, etc.

OMG!!! I thought it was the hot humid weather this summer when I began having hives. I stopped wearing my then new VS bras and went to WalMart to purchase some light weight cotton bras…now it is fall and I attemped to wear my VS bras and in about 2 minutes I could feel my skin tingling and itching. I knew then that these expensive bras have something in them that I am allergic to. I want either a refund or in the law suit. Thanks!

Hi, I have had this bad rash that won’t go away underneath my breast. All I wear are Victoria Secret’s bras with the underwire. The rash was off and on. HOwever, this time it will not go away. I have tried Cortizone.10, it is not working. How can I get in on the law suit. Thank you.

I to had on going problems with my breast after wearing VS bars, itcheing,open sores on my nipples, red rashing all around the cup on both breasts. I went to my MD for help she told me to stop wearing the bars and see if that helped it did. I then being very upset over all the money they coat me, I then call VS all they did was ask that I mail them the bars I never got a answer about what the problem was only 2 checks for what I paid for them. I am happy to see they are now being asked to do something about this.

I can’t believe I found this website. I too purchased a VS push up bra a couple months ago. Soon after I got a horrible rash that itches fiercely with open sores, from my nipple to a couple inches under my breast. I can’t seem to get rid of it. I’m 54 years old and have never had this sort of horrible oozing rash. I only got his rash after purchasing this bra. We need to do something to stop the sales of whatever is doing this.

Yup, me too… Am so sure that the “coincidence” of buying/wearing my recent VS bra (previous VS favorites, no problems) is exactly what is causing this incessant itching these past 4 months, that I’m cancelling PC Dr.’s appt. (I’m sure I’d get the hydrocortisone approach) and just going straight to Dermatology. Thank goodness a spark of memory got me to thinking I’d heard something (AFTER purchasing this particular VS bra in June) along these lines: VS bras/itching. Pretty infuriating that damage continues to be inflicted on the unsuspecting because the bras are still BEING SOLD!!!

I suffer from breast health issues as mentioned by all and I am just recently learning that my problems are a result of wearing Victoria Secrets and Fredrick of Hollywood’s underwire bras for over five years! When I first experienced problems with my breast, the doctors and the nurses all looked at me as those I had twenty heads! They asked me if I was having rough sex when they saw the swelling and redness! I would like more information on this case as well. Thank you.

I too have had scarring on my breasts. The only bras I have were from Victoria’s Secret. We need more information on this case.

I have worn VS bras for many years with no problem until recently. I developed a rash on my breasts that was horrible. The itching, painful, blisters which wouldn’t heal. I tried hydrocorosole cream which did nothing. Then antibiotics which may have kept the blisters from becoming infected. I am a brast cancer survivor so I was fearful that I had the type of breast cancer reaacurrence that was the skin type. I paid to see my Dr., then a mammogram to rule out cancer, an ultrasound and a specialist in the breast clinic. All trying to figure out what this mess was. The breast tissue was scarring and rough, almost orange peeling look from being swollen. I was scared sick that I had a reacurrence of cancer, not t mention the extreme discomfort. Shame on Victoria Secret for not stepping up and standing behind thier product when it causes problems with so many of thier customers!

Unbelievable….I broke out bad with a horrible rash. Tested the bras several times just to be sure. Each episode gave me 4 to 5 days off. Not being able to wear anything. This was extremely painful, a burning sensation. I finally went back to the VS store and asked them if they had any complaints about their bras? They said no, and if I had the receipt they would gladly refund my money. I do not have the receipt and figured my loss. The more I thought about it the more upset I got. …I called VS and asked the same question..Has any one else complained about rashes created by your Body by Victoria bra? Response was, we are not at liberty to give out that information and they would have someone contact me . Within an hour someone called back. Asked several questions and said she would be mailing me a free return label and will be refunding the cost of the bras. A claims adjuster has also sent me a letter asking me to give them a call regarding my incident report. Shame on VS..with so many of us suffering similar reactions how do you continue selling these defective items? I have spent mega bucks on VS line….saddens me to think how much they care about their loyal customers….20 plus years. I for one will be rethinking my spending pattern with them.

I’m not sure if most of these cases are in the U.S. though I am a Canadian and have been weraing Victoria Secret bras for year. It wasn’t until recently that I developed a rash with the Very Sexy bra line. The bra is very lacey and the small rash appeared on my back and became really itchy. I wonder if it is the same case as the others I am readying. My mother on the other hand, has the exact symptoms that everyone else is describing under her breasts from wearing the bra. She has had these scars for the last year or so. We noe both assume it is from these bras. Although she does wear the Signature collection which is all cotton. I find this all very strange and I am amazed that there is not more information out there. It’s also quite disappointing that Victoria Secret hasn’t done something about this considering there are so many cases.

I am a faithful customer of VS and I purchased a bra which the underwire is trimmed in lace in which the lace caused a 4″ blister under my breast which burst and became very painful to the point that I could not wear a bra for a few days. I also had to see my doctor because it wasn’t getting enough air it started smelling and became infected my doctor had to prescribe me an oral antibiotic. Now i am trying to get rid of the nasty scar it left behind.

My boobs became itchy last night. When I took of my VS bra I just scatched and scratched. Today my boobs were iritated all day. I searched itchy boobs on the net and came up with this site. I imeadeately took off the bra and saw the welts. I wiped my breast down with proxcide and then a damp cloth.
