In the test with my son's t's I found the bamboo worked sometimes but not at all at other times. The mens tank was great only I found the high neckline different and uncomfortable due to this and the compression on the stomach a bit problematic with my catheter site. The long sleeve hockey t was horrid. The sleeves were very problematic and the compression even more so.
We may be completely wrong but it seems it is a contact allergy with something and perhaps my skin is just too clean. Ds thinks I need a tight something as a barrier between my skin and my clothes. He also thinks if I'm not allergic to wool or cotton that they might hold the allergen and so therefore are irritating.
Went out to the store today and tried on lots. The women's tanks were useless as they did not cover the shoulder blades. I got an Under Armor crew neck t with short sleeves. May have bought it too large but still bought it a size smaller than usual. It is in the wash now so we will see. Unfortunately it only came in black...sigh, the story of my life.
The pants were interesting. Anything that wasn't full length was irritating where it stopped especially when sitting/standing/sitting/standing. The full length boot cut or flares were also irritating as they rubbed and irritated in movement. The legging type ones were nice but they only had a size large in the store which was way too big. Will have to go back and see what the other size is like.
Thanks very much for your help ladies. I went in with my checklist but the fit was everything. Who would have known that different fits would irritate or not so much with just a few differences.
