CLAIM: This consists of an adjustable elastic strap that fastens under the bustline, which contains a cotton, moisture-absorbing pad — it is designed to prevent sweat marks.

VERDICT: ‘It’s not uncommon to sweat under the breasts — especially if they are large or hang low,’ says Andrew Wright, a professor of dermatology at the University of Bradford. ‘The warm moist area under the overhang of skin is a place where sweat can pool which can be a breeding ground for bacteria and fungus — and lead to skin irritation that creates rashes.

‘If this absorbs excess perspiration and keeps the area reasonably dry, then it could have its uses.’ 2/5
