Bras—-do you overheat with them on?

With the warm weather, I've been finding that I have been getting overheated from my bras, and I wonder if others have similar incidents and how the keep cool wearing bras.

I have had that problem with push-ups or padded bras. They "insulate" and so retain the heat. Nice in winter, but in summer not so much.

I have some bras that are almost like lingerie that I wear. They are sheer and lightweight. The downside is that they can make nipples more visible, since there is no padding to keep them under control. Wearing a baggy top can hide that, but I have discovered that most people either don't notice or don't care.

While moving, I wore tighter, lightweight tops that were comfortable for the long drive. Perhaps the perception is that when it is hot, it doesn't matter. I prefer to dress more conservatively, but I had no stares, and I was cool and comfortable.

When I jog for a while or otherwise work out for a while I tend to get sweaty and the bras do get wet too.  I work in an air conditioned space and so is my car.  If the temperature is in the upper 80s or 90s I can sweat too.

I do not wear push-up bras often however I have been wearing them more often recently.  I wear lightly padded bras.  As long as I am in an air conditioned space and not exerting myself much physically I do not sweat and my bras stay dry.

In the evening, I often do not wear a bra at home.
