I kept seeing all these commercials on tv about this Genie Bra. Hey, I'm all about comfort and if this bra can provide it and all I need, I'm game!
So I finally broke down and tried it. (They were having a sale. Get three, get three free) Too good to be true? Maybe.
They arrived in a couple days. Fast shipment I must say. I was rather excited about trying them on.
I pull them out of the package and am looking (instant disappointment on my face).
They were very thin. It reminded me of a sports bra. It was soft. It was very thin. Hmm, sports bra again. Oh get over myself! I put it on. Ugh! I don't consider myself hugely breasted, but at a 40D, I had to get size 2XL in the Genie Bra. No biggy. If you do decide to try these out, I suggest, the next bigger size. :(
So I'm standing in my bathroom admiring my new bra. Not really admiring, I'm sizing it up. No wires or hooks (slip over the head); No slip straps (PLUS!); Stretchy; Curve Hugging; yes, all GREAT things. HOWEVER, there is also NO SUPPORT! I might as well not even wear a bra because ... yes, I'll admit it. Gravity is starting to take it's toll on me.
NO SUPPORT! So after analyzing for a bit. Pulling over a couple shirts, I am still NOT a fan. It claims No Back Bulge (BIG PLUS!) but failed to mention Arm Pit Bulge. Damn! I had such high hopes!
I would recommend this bra to those who are smaller breasted and or those who gravity hasn't yet affected. I could see comfort in it, absolutely! Yet, there were too many downfalls for me to keep them.
I called and got my RA# (Return Authorization #) and will be mailing them back on Monday. :(
My hunt for a comforting support bra for my twins is still on. Victoria Secret (VS) has wonderful support bras if you don't mind paying the price. Vassarette also has t-shirt bras that I love! They are cotton, comfortable, yet lack a tad in the support area.
When I was younger, I PRAYED for bigger BOOBS! Now that I have them and (again that blasted GRAVITY thing) has set in, I'm opting for a small C-cup PLEASE! :)
If you have tried the Genie Bra, I would love to hear your opinion. If you have another suggestion for me, please DO speak up. At 43 years old, my hubs has soon all my goodies a gazillion times and man-handled them a gazillion plus times. I'm not about lacy and beautiful, I'm about comfort, COMFORT, COMFORT!
