I hv been allergic to everything under the sun. The torment of wearing bras, panties, even socks is painful. I hv idiopathic urticaria since a baby. Latex, elastic, rubber, you name it. I am taking the highest dose of xolaire which is thousands of dollars a month with anti-viral medications to combat the autoimmune problems land allergies. The occasional hive or rash can be an allergic reaction but if it’s consistent it is by medical definition hives or urticaria are flare ups from something more serious causing an inflammatory reaction to those chemicals. The long short of it is that we hv grown up w/these products & our bodies shld hv built up a defense but instead it doesn’t hv the antibodies or cell defense to do their jobs. Unfortunately after a million google searches there is NOTHING out there. Whoever said there should be products available, you are right. I don’t wear socks- unless I hv to. I will walk out in uggs, or Hanes underwear & one day I will be ok, the next not. No matter what I end up with hives covering my body. It is pure hell & torture. Unfortunately buying cheaply is the way stores go these days. My best advice is to not skimp on clothing of any kind. It will get worse. The food you eat, clean eating (very hard & expensive sadly,) & don’t go to Victoria’s Secret. Spend your money wisely in a department store, don’t wear cheaper clothing, colder baths. I have had to give up going to the gym, drinking alcohol, dyes, msg, everything that is not easy! I am so sorry we hv to go through this. I can pass some of the research I hv done re: what chemicals or fabrics are the worst popping up in allergy clinics. Good Luck! I will compose that list somehow & share it (not sure how on here)
To all sick of painful rashes- we must demand as consumers what we need.
Best of Luck!

ok. im having the same issue. started awhile back, never really had problems much. now it’s gone haywire. elastic touches me, legs from the underwear or my cute bra’s, no matter. elastic is causing huge grief. what i’d like to know … WHAT’S the SOLUTION, … ? i want underwear, … long cute briefs ? where can you buy them, what are they really called, HELP !!! lol this is all greek to me. does anyone have an idea of what kind of underwear style would work, ? i wear riding breeches so they have to be brief type but i’d like the legs to go further down, … . ANY IDEAS where to get such a beast ? at least i could keep the elastic out from between my legs, ..cripes. this sux !!! im open to shopping suggestions… ?

His people I had this problem a long time I tested and it came back I’m allergic to elastic that’s in all 100percent cotton silk and nylon wish for someone to design good underwear and sell it would make some dough as another seem to have this problem.

I have the same issue when I wear the panties with the elastic in the creases of my legs itch really bad so I stopped wearing them. I know where the boy shorts with no elastic and there are some lazy ones as well. As soon as I I forget and we’re the ones with the elastic it comes back lets me know I’m allergic to I love the elastic in the panties or what the pennies are made of. So try the boy shorts

When I got married, I had a friend hint to me that i should avoid bleach and fabric softener on the underwear load. And My hubby did some laundry for me and didn’t know that. Had an awful rash. Almost as bad as the time he sat in poison oak and through those cloths in the laundry without mentioning it to me. I react to everything. He reacts to nothing LOL
