Adhesive Bras

Today, I'm going to be talking about bras.  Specifically, I want to talk about the sticky bras that suction onto the breasts in order to provide coverage.  I currently own two of them and I would like to compare them for you.  Firstly, I will be covering the general pros and cons of the nude bra.  I will then discuss the details of each bra (brand, where I purchased them from and for what cost, a comparison of quality).

Overall, I think that the nude bra is great.  You don't have to worry about exposed straps and you can wear this bra with various different shirts and dresses.  They supposedly last up to 100 wears and are easily cleaned with a rinse of cold water.

Pros:

• They will definitely stay on all night if applied correctly
• A great bra to wear with strapless tops or sexy back clothing
• You can wear it under another bra to give yourself extra cleavage
• Comfortable (or at least I think so).  You don't have straps tugging everywhere

Cons:

• Expensive (a great investment in my opinion)
• High maintenance. You have to be careful when handling them or you'll ruin the stickiness.
• A bit of a hassle to put on.  You have to aim correctly or it will look a bit odd.
• Not an option for the well endowed.  Sorry girls; it doesn't defy gravity and give lift. 

 I know it seems like there are a lot of cons, but if you get the hang of it, it's really easy.  Also, if you don't like the look of bra straps, the benefits greatly outweigh the cons.

As for sizes, I got both in the size A.  

Now I'll talk about the 2 bras that I own.  The NuBra is the higher end brand that is pretty a well known brand in North America.  The FreeBra is one which I purchased on eBay from a Chinese seller.  I actually have a third silicon sticky bra that's branded as "Nude Bra", but it wasn't that good.  My mom bought it in Chinatown for ~$10.  It did the job, but I found that the shape was odd and the plastic around the clip started to rip.

The NuBra:

• Price: $60 from La Senza. Luckily, I bought it on a promotion (spend $100 and you get 50% off. So I got it for $30).  I've seen them on eBay for around $30 - $50.
• Colour: Nude
• I find that this has better shape.  The cups on the FreeBra are very.... round?   They don't have that natural finish
• OVERALL RATING: 4.5/5

The FreeBra:

• Price: $11 on eBay
• Colour: Cheetah print
• My first impression was that this bra was a lot stickier than the NuBra.  
• The sticky film leaves a hard to remove residue (deal breaker).  I would only wear this if I were planning to shower straight away.
• OVERALL RATING: 3/5
