A friend of mine (we’ll call her Sarah to protect the unsupported) came back from a romantic getaway to Mexico with her boyfriend and immediately called me. Not to gush about the sunsets, the margaritas, or the dreamy beach walks—but to confess her massive packing mistake.
Sarah had packed push-up bras for “nice vacation vibes” and ONE comfy pullover sports bra for lounging. She figured she was set. She figured wrong.
The first disaster? Pickleball.
Sarah and her boyfriend had a fun little couples competition planned at the resort courts, but what she didn’t plan for was her push-up bra trying to escape the match.
“Brigitte, I swear my boobs were moving more than the ball,” she told me. “Every time I jumped or reached, I had to stop and fix them. It was NOT cute.”
She finished the game—barely—but her boyfriend won, mostly because she was too busy readjusting. π«£πΎ
Then came the horseback riding excursion. π
Sarah imagined herself riding along the beach, wind in her hair, looking like a movie star. Instead, she was bouncing uncontrollably, holding onto the saddle with one hand and her chest with the other. The pullover sports bra she thought would be comfy? Useless. Zero support. And the humidity made it cling to her skin like a wet swimsuit.
By the end of the ride, she wasn’t feeling romantic—she was chafed, sweaty, and swearing she’d never leave the country without a good sports bra again. π π΄
The Sisterhood of Smart Packers
Sarah learned her lesson the hard way, but she’s not alone. We’ve all been there. Packing bras that seem fine, only to find out they betray you the moment you move.
So take it from Sarah (and me!):
βοΈ Pack at least two sports bras—one to wear, one to rinse.
βοΈ Skip the push-up for anything active. Trust me.
βοΈ Choose moisture-wicking, quick-dry fabrics—because sweat is real.
βοΈ If you have space, the ENELL RACER is a game-changer.
Life’s too short for bad bras, sweaty regrets, and losing at pickleball because of a wardrobe malfunction. Pack smart. Play hard. Look great doing it. βοΈπποΈ
