Don’t Let The Rain Ruin Your Look: 5 Must-Have Innerwear Essentials For Monsoon Season

Last Updated:July 17, 2025, 17:41 IST

Brands are leading the way in creating products that truly understand what Indian women need, innerwear designed for their bodies, their concerns, and Indian seasons.

In monsoons, women go for clothes that are comfy, practical, and can handle the rain and humidity, be it for everyday wear, office hours, or weekend getaways. And it’s not just about the clothes, we are careful about carrying water-resistant bags, slip-proof footwear and protective cover-ups. But while we pay attention to everything visible, we forget one essential: innerwear. Brands are leading the way in creating products that truly understand what Indian women need, innerwear designed for their bodies, their concerns, and Indian seasons.

Kamakshi Agarwala, Founder & CEO, Butt-Chique shares 5 must-have innerwear essentials for the monsoon season.

1. Breathable Bras

While cotton, modal, and microfiber are usually used for breathable bras, bamboo viscose stands out for monsoon wear. Organically grown bamboo viscose is ultra-soft, naturally moisture-wicking, and more breathable than many other clothes, which makes it a top pick for warm and humid days. Many styles also feature non-stretch powermesh layers that don’t trap sweat, keeping you cool and dry. This is a must for office-goers.

2.  Boob Tapes, Nipple Covers or Stick-Ons

Not everyone is a bra girl, and for those days when straps, hooks, or cups feel like too much, boob tapes come in handy. They provide coverage, lift, and shape without adding bulk. While they can take a little time to apply at first, once you get the hang of them, they’re hassle-free. However, all are designed to withstand sweat or humid conditions, so choose yours correctly and make sure to apply them to clean, dry skin for a safe and comfortable fit.

Moreover, there are just some outfits, backless, strapless, or sheer, where wearing a full bra is too much, especially in this season. Believe it or not, silicone stick-ons are also a monsoon-suited hack, but only if you go waterproof, reusable, and lightweight. They’re not for every day, but they are perfect under special wear, beach trips, or travel dresses when you want to be nose-free without visible lines.

3. Anti-Chafing Shorts

Let’s be real, monsoon and thigh chafing go hand in hand, especially if you are running too much or wearing body-hugging clothes. Anti-chafing shorts made of nylon-spandex or breathable microfiber act as another skin and help prevent severe rashes. Whether you are shopping outside or trekking in the hills, these layers easily clothe and even fit under loose pants without adding heat.

4. High-Rise Panties

Next, high-rise cotton panties are a total monsoon essential. Go for one that has antimicrobial properties, they help you stay fresh and rash-free even on sticky, humid days. They offer full hip and tummy coverage, sitting just above the navel for that extra comfort and security. With a 100% cotton gusset lining and super-stretchy elastic, they move with your body, smooth out any postpartum pouches, and never feel too tight or too loose, just a comfy, confidence-boosting fit that lives up to the size chart.

5. Shapewear

Last but not least, good shapewear is also a wardrobe essential. It can be a total game-changer no matter which season it is. Because you never know when the occasion comes, and perfect shapewear can change the OOTD game and boost your confidence, like anything, making sure you feel polished, protected, and put together. But given the monsoon, shapewear made from breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics is a must; it helps prevent uncomfortable stickiness, rashes, or chafing that often come with humid, sweaty weather.
