If I’m going to talk about lingerie, I just can’t forget to mention self-adhesive bras. That would be rude, considering the fact that they have been an “ace up my sleeve” for many years now. All that hot strapless, backless dresses and daring tops just don’t fit so good with regular bras so I have to have respect for these thingies that let me have it all- the support, the lift and extra volume, without unnecessary straps.
The first self adhesive solution were tape-like strips and, although the general idea was good and they worked pretty much ok, the process of taking the strips off was a bit uncomfortable and, for some women, even painful. Things, however, got much better when this new solution was introduced in 2002. Since then, these a bit unconventional pieces of lingerie have been sold in so many copies that I can freely say this: If they were a record, they would be a multiplatinum one.
The basic style consists of two silicone self adhesive cups with a front hook, like this one I found at Victoria’s Secret. Once you place and hook the bra it should adhere completely, provide natural push up effect and give you about six hours of support like you’re wearing a normal bra. Don’t worry, it’s not Cinderella and it won’t fall off as soon as the sixth hour finishes. In fact, I can confirm that it’ll stay on long after that. Although, you may want to check it once in a while and press to make sure any parts that may have gotten unglued stick to the skin again.
This other version that I found at JCPenney is a little bit different as it is made from memory foam and gives better support and coverage. Unlike the first one, this really looks like a bra and hot mammas with a D cup (that need support and hold rather than a volume increase) could benefit from it also. The principle is pretty much the same because the bra has silicone adhesive on the inside and once you get used to this whole “center-glue-push-hold” procedure, it will take you just a few seconds to put it on. Very simple and extremely effective.
