When looking for an alternative to a Wonderbra, I came across this strapless, backless 'invisible' (or so it claimed) bra from JML costing £19.99. It didn't look like it could give me support, being of ample bust sizing, as it consisted of just 2 silicon pads that adhesed to the skin giving a lift of the bosom. It was available in a few stores, including Woolworths. It claimed to add inches to a womans bust size and increase the cleavage.
I read and followed the instructions, which said to wash the chest area with a mixture of mild soap and warm water, to dry the area completely and, once you have separated the two cups, to apply one cup to one breast whilst standing in front of a mirror by holding the edgs of the bra and working inwards to the nipple area. The other cup is applied in exactly the same way, cleavage can be adjusted after application, apparantly, but I cannot see how this is done, there are not enough instructions for this.When both cups are applied, the clasp between the cups can be tightened or loosened. the cups are applied you can do up the clasp in between them and then the bra is fully applied.
The invisible bra comes in three sizes:A - B, B-C and C - D. In the box I found a leaflet which illustrated the ways in which you can wear the bra, or rather what tops you can wear it under and what it looks like in each case. Tops of which included tank tops, bustiers, straples and backless dresses and even plain old t-shirts. I also found a booklet which gave instructions on how to apply the bra, remove the bra, and ways in which to keep it in top condition and prolong its life. It was also in a protective plastic tray, which is supposed to keep the bra in top condition in a drawer or on a shelf, and keep it dust free.
When I bought this product from JML I was unsure which size to opt for. As I am not a perfect size 14/16 I often have trouble choosing the right size, and not being able to try the bra on added to this. I also found that unless you have a typical body shape/size the fitting of the bra can be less than perfect causing poor adhesion of the bra, and hence the bra becoming loose. It is usefull being able to adjust the clasp between the cups, but even then it is quite hard to adjust to the right distance. Being slightly overweight caused to bra to give inadequate support. The plastic storage tray is handy for keeping dust away, for protecting the bra, and also keeping the bra from drying out and therefore retaining adhesiveness. It was, however, very bulky and storing it was difficult as the box was large.
After all my efforts to apply this bra correctly, following the instructions to the letter, it was not until I read the reviews on this website that I actually understood how to put the bra on 100% correctly.

Welcome to Ciao. Sorry about the low rating but I have to agree with the other noters. If you put more detail such as how comfortable it is to wear, what colour it is, sizes available, price etc. you're bound to get a higher rating. I'm happy to re-rate if you update it! x

You should contact Ciao and ask them to move your review to the correct category. A lot more info on the invisible bra is needed, imaging the person reading your review has no idea what the product is or what it looks like and the only way they can find out about it is by reading your review. You need to tell everything, what sizes it comes in, what colours, what it looks like, how it works or what it is supposed to do and even where you can buy it and how much it will cost. Leave me a message if you edit your review and I will be happy to re-rate. Alexandra x
