This calculator provides a score for a fabric's breathability, which is its ability to allow air and moisture to pass through. You'll select a fabric type, and the calculator will assign it a 'Breathability Score' based on its material properties and weave. A higher score indicates a more breathable fabric, perfect for staying cool and comfortable.

Breathability is a key factor in comfort, especially for clothing worn close to the skin. Non-breathable fabrics trap heat and sweat, which can lead to discomfort, skin irritation, and a generally clammy feeling. Choosing breathable lingerie helps regulate your body temperature and keeps you feeling fresh and dry all day long.

The Breathability Score is a simple guide to choosing the right fabric. For active days or warm climates, look for fabrics with a high score, like cotton, linen, or specialty moisture-wicking synthetics. For less strenuous activities or cooler weather, a lower score might be perfectly acceptable. This score empowers you to choose lingerie that's not just beautiful, but also scientifically comfortable.

• For workouts, always choose a bra made from a high-performance, moisture-wicking, and breathable fabric.
• In the summer, a lightweight, unlined mesh or cotton bra will be much more breathable than a thick, padded one.
• Look for lingerie with perforated or mesh panels for targeted ventilation.
• Even if a fabric is breathable, a tight fit can reduce airflow. Consider a slightly looser style for maximum comfort.
• Don't forget about your panties! Breathable cotton panties are a great choice for everyday comfort and health.
