self adhersive bra

meowCat

Hello there,

I saw self adhersive bras in Penny's the other day. Are they any good? Somehow I find it hard to imagine that they would give much support.

Does anyone have any experience with them?

Cheers,
mC.

I tried one of those on one day, not very flattering at all and not comfortable either.. and when I put my top on over it to see what it was like, you could totally tell I had something 'stuck' to me..

I tried it. Although it did the trick on the dress that was backless it gave me no support at all and was quite uncomfortable. I bought mine in M&S and spent 40euro on it. Waste of money, never wore it again. I'd rather have a visible bra than obsess all night about my droopy boobs!

Yeh I wouldn't be a fan of these either. I found that they iritated my skin quite a bit and didn't give much support.

I bought a self-adhesive bra in Ryans (in Galway), basically no straps. At all. Its kinda odd feeling, but i worked. Now i wouldnt wear it for support purposes, it was just a bit of coverage to go with a backless dress.

It stayed on for the whole night, and I didnt have to fix it at all. Im a D cup, and it worked for me, but if I was any bigger, I wouldnt recommened it!

I'm pretty small on top (all my growing went into giving me long legs, I think my body forgot it was meant to go out as well as up:D) and have used those bras a few times. I found them (well one) to be very good but assumed it was because I didn't really need support, it was more to give a bit of oomph to a dress that was backless and strapless.
One word of advice would to be buy a good one if you're going to buy one at all, the best I've come across is called an Eve's Bra. I bought one in Debenhams for €10.00 and while wearing it on holidays last summer had a rather embarrassing experience with it. My boyfriend was so nice for my 30th birthday and booked a surprise trip to Las Vegas and Chicago. When we got to Vegas he'd booked tickets for a show on the night of my birthday and dinner in a fabulous restaurant. I had been told by my sister (who knew what was going on) to bring something pretty wow to wear out on my birthday so I'd packed this really great dress and threw in my €10 Debenhams bra when I was packing.
The dress really needed something extra on top so I decided it was lucky to have the invisible bra with me and stuck it on. Unfortunately I hadn't counted on the sticky stuff not staying sticky in the Vegas heat of July. We were walking into the casino where the show was on and I felt the bra come unstuck. I panicked and was full sure my so called invisible bra was going to drop onto the footpath at my feet and not be nearly invisible enough. I decided there was nothing for it but to reach into my dress and pull it out and pop the bra into my handbag. There was this old man walking against me whose mouth just dropped open with shock, he even took his glasses off to clean them and put them back on convinced that he couldn't have seen someone remove her boobs from her dress.:o

I bought one of these in LaSenza a few weeks ago, 40 squids as far as I remember. All I'll say is that its not for bigger girls, my sister is a D and it just didnt look right on her at all and she really didn't feel supported. I'm a good bit smaller and it did the job for the first few hours. Then the stickiness wore off and you feel as if its gonna fall off, so you just look as if you're fondling your boobs all night. One of my friends suggested talc to keep you dry, works for her.

I got a multiway bra that also has removable straps and I was really impressed - wasn't walking around thinking it was going to fall down, which is how i've felt with every other strapless bra i've tried!

It'd be a good idea to get measured too, if the bra isn't a perfect fit it will move..

Those bras still have a back in them though don't they? If your top or dress is backless the strapless bra doesn't really work..unless you want to go the Carrie Bradshaw route and let the back strap be seen anyway (as she did in the episode of SATC when the sailors docked in NYC).

Ah, all this reminds me of my cousin, who went to a big dance with no bra but Elastoplast holding her strapless dress up. At least, holding it up for a while.

In the middle of the dance floor it gave up the ghost, as did her dress top. And she was a well-endowed young woman.

She married the guy she was dancing with, by the way. I'm not sure if it was because he was so impressed by the sight or because any man who could stay composed in the circumstances had to be a keeper.

WOW always thought that Lara's shop was a rip off but charging over 500 euro more than the RRP for that dress is unbelievable!

*And* they used skanky Michelle Heaton as a model for their clothes, wtf! http://www.laras.ie/michelle_heaton.html
