Meet Juliemay, the Allergy UK-accredited, luxe, sustainable lingerie brand

1in 4 people in the world's population suffer from some form of skin condition, and that number is rising. If you're allergic to certain materials or dyes, wearing lingerie can be a difficult experience. Not only are you worried about itchiness and irritation, but also about potentially dangerous reactions. And most mainstream lingerie brands don't cater to people with allergies. Allergy UK-accredited, sustainable lingerie brand, JulieMay is changing that.

Juliemay specialises in creating beautiful, allergy-friendly lingerie for women of all shapes and sizes. The Pima cotton and silk collections have been scientifically tested and approved by dermatologists to be allergy-friendly, antibacterial, and hypoallergenic. 

Comfort And Stylish

With brief sizes from 8-18, and bra sizes from 32B to 42DD, Juliemay has a collection for everyone with sensitive skin or without. What sets Juliemay apart from other lingerie brands is the commitment to using only the highest quality materials that are kind to your skin.

All of the products are made from Pure Silk and Pima Cotton. Every bra is lined with 100% Pure Silk; a soft, breathable fabric with natural protein fibres which are hypoallergenic and antibacterial. 

Organic Pima Cotton is unmatched in its softness. With its tightly woven strands, the materials are soft to touch, silky on the skin, breathable, and durable, providing even the most sensitive of skins with a gentle wearing experience.

As well as being the first lingerie brand to use Pima Cotton and Pure Silk, Juliemay goes that step further to providing allergy-free lingerie. All their hooks and adjusters are acrylic, all elastic is wrapped in Pima Cotton, they’re all tag free, and they use the mildest of dyes to create their beautiful briefs and bras. 

Soft And Silky

The bras’ inner layers and briefs’ crotch area is made using 100% Pure Silk, which gives a smooth and luxurious touch on the skin, is super soft and will not trigger any allergies or irritation, due to containing no synthetic fibers, no latex, no exposed elastics, and no harsh chemicals (which goes for all Juliemay designs). The beautiful cotton and silk lingerie collections have been scientifically tested and approved by qualified dermatologists to be allergy-friendly, antibacterial and hypoallergenic.

The brand is absolutely determined to bring elegant designs with the use of top-quality natural materials, to promote the most comfortable wearing experience to all women. Juliemay offers many decadent items, but the best-selling pieces include the Debbie Lace Cotton & Silk Plunge Bra, which starts at size 32B, going up to 42DD.

Luxurious and Exquisite

The non-padded bra provides highly breathable silk and Pima cotton, which is hypoallergenic, a non-slip and wide shoulder strap, elegant lace detail, and offers maximum support, working with your natural shape and adding a level of comfort. Customers’ favourite briefs are currently the Snowdrop Silk & Organic Cotton Full Brief, in White.

If softness is your top priority, you’ll love these full briefs. High-waisted to offer great coverage and support, the Pima Cotton leg bands won’t dig or ride, and the delicate embroidery gives a beautifully soft and exquisite look. The hygroscopic and breathable silk gusset ensures all-day freshness, and there are no elastics touching the skin.

Another firm favourite is the Valentina Silk & Organic Cotton Underwired Full Cup Support Bra. 

This luxuriously crafted bra offers wide ergonomic straps to provide support without digging, and underwires that are encased in a silk casing - meaning no chafing or itching. This practical, comfortable yet beautifully-crafted lingerie is perfect for anyone who’s tired of uncomfortable underwear, who wants to branch out into treating themselves to pieces that provide a luxurious look and comfortable feel. 

^{No need to choose between} Practicality and Sensuality 

Sustainable underwear brand Juliemay is on a mission to improve your intimate moments with environmentally-friendly materials and ethical practices. Because why choose between comfort, ethics and looking good?

Juliemay’s locally designed products are all responsibly manufactured and sustainably produced, and based on the premise that comfort and quality are key. All of the pieces are hypoallergenic, suitable for even the most sensitive skin.
