I don't have AC but you can bet your ass I would be airing out my under boob with it if I did. The world is way too hot and we got to take what comfort we can.
Maybe don't drink wine when it's that hot, it makes you suffer a lot more. Don't wear a bra. Dress clothes soaked in water or something very large and flowy.
I admit that today is a bit bad where I am, I've poured water over the curtains and stuck my feet in a bucket of fresh water. I make sure windows in the shade remain open, windows in the sun are closed - shutters would be nice but my house doesn't have them, so I just close the curtains. I get up very early and rest during the hot hours. If your apartment is badly built and still gets too warm find a cool place outside to spend the hot hours - best is somewhere near water. See, the problem with ACs is they turn your place more cool while turning the planet even warmer. There are solutions, most require a bit of lifestyle change and planning - a lot of us here in Southern Europe have always handled this without AC so you miiight indeed be wimps over there in the US and A.
Sorry if that sounds judgemental, I admit it partly is. I also feel for you and I'm sorry so many have to suffer. I just wish the solution for this wasn't always 'Need more ACs'
Me, wiping under my tits using my holey baggy tshirt before giving up after the fifth attempt because my tits are too much and just yanking one up to the AC unit. Luckily the house is up slightly higher than the neighbors so they didn't see me doing this. Not that I'd care at that point.
I've recently seen pics and vids of jackets with fans. No idea how good they are tho.
