I had seen various adverts on television and in shops for the JML invisible bra and thought it was a good idea but wasn't convinced that it would really be very effective, and so I wasn't prepared to pay £20 for one, however a few weeks later I realized that I had £20 worth of vouchers for Amazon.co.uk and that they were selling the JML invisible bra for £19.97. I decided to buy one with my vouchers and see what it was like. As soon as it arrived I opened up the rectangle box that it came in to have a look.
The bra consists of two silicone cups which are joined together with a small plastic clasp. The bra comes in a preservation tray which stops it getting damaged by dust, and losing its stickyness. The outer side of the bra is smooth and feels a bit weird when you first touch it! The inside of the bra has the adhesive which keeps it stuck to your breasts and so it obviously feels very sticky to the touch (I soon realized that its not a good idea to get dust or dirt near this bit as it sticks to it and is a nightmare to get off!)
The bra is backless and strapless and claims that it gives the effect of a fuller cleavage, can
be used on its own under clothing or as bra enhancer pads. The bra seems to be mainly designed for use when you are wearing an outfit where you don't want bra straps or back showing. There are a couple of leaflets supplied which give information on how to wear and care for the bra.
The instructions say to wash your chest area with soap and water (I assume this is to stop the adhesive of the bra getting dirty and losing its stick!) Once you have dried the skin you apply the bra by standing in front of a mirror and holding one of the bra cups around the edge and then placing it on to the centre of the breast (you can adjust the position to increase or decrease the amount of cleavage). Once one cup is applied you apply the other one in the same way and in the same position on the other breast, then gently press each cup in the centre to make sure it is properly stuck! Once the cups are applied you can do up the clasp in between them and then the bra is fully applied.
I found that the bra was actually surprisingly easy to apply and I had a go at moving the cups further apart to give more cleavage but eventually found a position that I preferred. Now I do have pretty huge breasts so even though I had brought the largest size of the bra (C-D cup) it was pushing it as realistically I am size DD! But it seemed to fit ok. My breasts felt heavier than if I had been wearing a proper bra but other than that it did feel surprisingly comfortable considering what it was! Looking in the mirror it did look a bit strange but I suppose it isn't really designed as sexy underwear!!! I put on a few strapless top to see how it looked under different clothing and found that it looked best under loser fitting tops as tops that were tight and made from a thin material made the bra look a bit odd as it looked bulgy. However under many items of clothing it actually looked fine. I tried on a dress that I couldn't wear a bra with but not wearing one looked and felt wrong. I tried it on with the invisible bra and it looked and felt much better.
I found that the suitability of the bra much depends on what you will be doing and what you will be wearing it under. Wearing it out clubbing is something I would recommend unless you have smaller breasts as it doesn't give the best support for dancing and if you sweat it feels a bit uncomfortable. However if you are going somewhere where you aren't planning on dancing around much and want to wear a top or dress that looks silly with a bra then this is a very useful product.
I wasn't sure how it would feel to remove the bra but it wasn't at all uncomfortable, it was just a case of peeling off one cup at a time from the edge. When you remove the bra you end up with some of the sticky adhesive stuff on your skin and so you need to wash the area with soap and water (or I use face wipes as they are quicker and easier!), As soon as you have used the bra you need to put it back in the preservation tray to stop it getting damaged. It can be washed by hand and there are the relevant cleaning instructions included in the box.
The bra is available in quite a few shops including Woolworths, Boots, Pound stretcher, wilkinsons and in various online stores such as Amazon. The bra costs around £19.99 in most shops and a little bit less on the internet. The bra comes in the sizes A-B, B-C and C-D.
Overall I was pretty impressed with the bra, although it looks small, it does the job. It is easy to apply, feels far more comfortable than I would have expected it to feel (although obviously isn't as comfortable as a normal bra!) I like the way that you can vary the amount of cleavage as you can adjust it for ways that look best for different outfits. Being washable is a nice advantage as you don't have to worry about it looking or smelling foul! The preservation tray is fantastic for storing the bra although it does take up a little bit of space (but not much!). The bra can be used over and over again and the adhesive is nice and strong so once you have applied it, it doesn't move or fall off! It was nice and easy to remove but the stickiness left behind is a little bit of a pain as you need to wash it off but other than that I really cant think of any disadvantages. I didn't use it as a bra enhancer (one of the suggested uses) as i have no real desire for my breasts to look any bigger! But I assume that for those with smaller cup sizes this could be a nice little product for wearing under a bra. All in all I think the bra is well priced, well designed and well made! I would definitely recommend it to anyone with sizes A-D breasts.
