Looking for a new bra with specific criteria...any ideas?

Hi guys,
I have this wicked itchy rash, which my doctor thinks is yeast, between my breasts. I'm using a cream on it but it is not going away. Since my current bras are pushing my boobs together and keeping my cleavage sweaty (which we know yeast loves), I'd love to find a bra that keeps my boobs SEPARATE. Does anyone know of a bra brand that keeps boobs apart from one another? Right now I'm using Bravado nursing bras, but they just aren't cutting it. I'd like something without underwire and that I can nurse in. Would appreciate any ideas!

Unless it's a sports bra or something that doesn't have 2 cups, no bra should ever squish boobs together unless you are going to a club and you want your cleavage to look that way. So it sounds like your bras don't fit to me.
Find a specially shop, even if it's a drive or a trip at least once to get properly measured. Not like the mall but a place with old ladies who have no sense of embarrassment. Usually these stores specialize in hard sizes like having a huge cup size and a small band or a small cup and a big band. Often they are pricy but the bras are usually top quality. Mine last for 5-7 years when I care for them. They will teach you what to look for. Then go online. I got my underwire and non-underwire nursing bras from barenessecities.com. They have a great return policy so i ordered a few and just sent back the ones that didn't work. No questions asked no need to talk to customer service. It was great!

I too cannot wear sports bras no matter the style for this reason.
I struggled with thrush my whole breastfeeding relationship with my first born. Let your breasts air out as much as possible, do not eat too much sugar as it feeds yeast, take some probiotics daily, and don't wear the same bra over and over as yeast will stay in your bra and prevent getting better.
