“shipping was quick. Adhesive did not irritate my sensitive skin and the concept of the product was really nice. I am a 40 DDD and my boobs were just too big. Essentially, it looked like I just had stickers on my boobs. Didn't lift or anything. Really wanted it to work. I think its a great choice but just not for large boobs”
“I was and am still amazed at how well these brassy bras work. I'm a size G and I could never wear strapless tops or dresses without being uncomfortable or tugging at my strapless bra all night. It's comfortable, water resistant, and not hard to use. I've finally pulled out all of those outfits that I have in my closet that I couldn't wear because my boobs were so big. Thank you for this product. I wish that more came in a pack because I'd wear them everyday.”
“Normally I hate to give any sort of negative feedback but I was kind of disappointed with these. I was looking for a good strapless bra that worked well for bigger chest sizes and people who sweat a lot. I discovered this brand while I was searching and heard nothing but good reviews so I bought some excitedly. As soon as I got them I opened the box and started digging around. I found the test patch and instructions and tried it out. I didn't expect anything to happen because I do not have sensitive skin. I left it on for a couple hours just out of curiosity and I had no reaction. So then that weekend I decided to test run a pair and see how they held up, and this is where things started to go wrong. First, I noticed there was a right and left side to each pair, but for the life of me I could not figure out which was which. So I guessed and put them on as instructed. Immediately I noticed there was a lot of spillage which I thought was odd given that I am typically a C cup bra size and I figured a C-D size should give me a decent amount of coverage, so I tried to patch up the spillage with extra strips. To which I found I would have needed 4 strips to catch all the spillage. And there were not enough strips in that pack to do that. I also noticed that due to the spillage my chest looked a little square. But I put on a flowy top and hoped no one would notice. Then about 15 minutes after putting them on I notice the top of my chest area above my boobs started to itch like crazy. So I grabbed some scissors and cut off the top like the instructions said I could. Which worked out as I needed the top cut off for the outfit anyway. The itching started to disappear and I hung around the house for a while. Once I was sure they weren't just going to pop off I went out to the bar for some dancing. They stayed in place extremely well however where the tops of the pieces were, my skin started to get irritated again. I also noticed around the edges of the brassy bra my skin was getting irritated as well. I got home as soon as I could and tried to use coconut oil to remove them, but I was in such pain I didn't have the patience and ended up ripping them off. I know some of the marks on my skin were cause by this, but most weren't. On the top part, my skin had turned raw and was blistered by the next day. I also had swollen circles around my boobs where the edges of the tape was. It's been several days and I have been putting aloe on my chest every day but there is still a decent amount of swelling and rawness although it is healing. I'm not sure what happened, but this did not end well for me and I was greatly looking forward to this product.
To add some positivity I will say that that they did hold my boobs up very well. There was no weird folds in my skin and they supported the weight. They kept they're grip even with a lot of movement. And my biggest worry was the underboob sweat causing them to peel and to my surprise it didn't!
I think these are a good product for what they advertise. But they need to be tried on with caution the first time”
Hi Cece,
Thank you for your feedback, and we're so sorry to hear you had a reaction to Brassybra! Based on your review, we can assume two things:
1. It sounds like you definitely need our largest size, our size chart on our website does a good job of showing what size you need, as I'm sure you know, the larger the band size gets, the larger the cup volume is, so a 42C might need the larger size, while a 34C could wear the A/B.
2. Wearing a smaller size and not getting enough support can cause a lot of pulling on your skin, which can lead to itching and irritation. The combination of the skin pulling from not having enough support, combined with the removing with no oil is very likely to have caused this irritation, because you didn't have a reaction to the test strip. If you wore longer than 8 hours this can contribute as well. We always caution to remove with oil and to remove when itching to protect your skin.
We'll send you a private message now, we hope you're willing to try again!
Best,
Brassybra Team
“I loved my Brassybra. It was so freeing and boosted my confidence. However, it takes a couple tries to get things to stick the right way (and not to itself). Five stars, but be very gentle with soft breast tissue and sensitive skin.
I have very soft breast tissue and breasts larger than the recommended size. I'm rocking a 42H (US). I just used a bit more and it was worth it, though I had some difficulties. I found that I had to shape as I went which gave me some trouble when the bra folded on itself. Needing to hold my breast in place with one hand and position the bra with the other was a unique experience. When I got everything smooth and in place, I didn't quite get my cleavage where I wanted it. I believe that this is something I'll get better at with practice. I did better the second time!
Now, removing them. Along with soft breast tissue, I have very sensitive, fragile skin. When I removed a pair I'd worn all day I was very tired and in a hurry. Don't do this. Make sure you have plenty of time to use a recommended oil and/or a long hot shower. I tore a small, shallow part of skin on the side of my breast and learned my lesson. Tearing the skin was an operator error, not the product. Please read and follow all of the removal instructions carefully!
Overall, Brassybra is amazing. I'm going to keep buying them and look forward to getting them in just the right place. They are fun, exciting and made me feel confident in showing off the girls!”
“I wear a 30G bra and ordered the Brassybra Vanilla for a wedding in August. It didn't end up working for the dress I originally planned on using it for, but I learned some things in my efforts to use the Brassybra to pass along to future buyers:
-It comes in a pack of 3, plan on sacrificing the first Brassybra to figure out how it works - I'm really glad I did a trial run otherwise I would've been screwed the day of.
-If you're busty, DO NOT TRIM THE TOP TOO MUCH. I originally planned to use this with a spaghetti strap dress and had carefully trimmed the BrassyBra so that the top would be narrow enough to fit under the dress - unfortunately if you're busty, the bra needs its full length to really keep your boobs in place. I found that if the width at the top was less than 3 fingers, it just simply wouldn't hold for me. For that reason, if you're busty and looking at the Brassybra I would recommend it for dresses/tops that have a thicker strap/side.
-You need to get it more heated for it to work and HOLD IT in place. I wish the box made this a bit more clear. I thought my second application of the Brassybra was perfect, but only a few hours later the top starting peeling off and my boobs sagged. The third time, I really rubbed my hands all over the bra after putting it down and I held my boobs in place with my hands for 15+ minutes - that time it did the trick. But I learned this from watching a YouTube video, not from the instructions on the box.
That being said, this is the only tape-like product that's worked for me and also not caused any kind of rash or irritation, so I did like it. I just wish for busty gals there were clearer instructions. I know changing packaging is $$, but maybe even just a follow-up email to those who buy the largest size explaining how to use it? If you're busty, you're going to have to do more to get this product to work so it would be nice to have that info right away instead of having to do research on your own or waste a few Brassybras trying to figure it out.”
Thank you Jena! We have all of these instructions on our website/ social media/ in the email we send out after purchase. There's also a considerable amount of information on the bottom of the box. We're updating our box with additional tips and those will be in circulation soon. Thank you!
“This is faaaaaantastic!!! I'm a 32 GG. This held up all night and then some. I will repurchase this for life. It's become a summer staple for me. I can now confidently wear lower cut tops and dresses, halters, backless etc.”
