I Love This Product Update: Bras, Straps and Lifts, Oh My...

Inquiring minds want to know. Many of you have asked how this worked out for me, so here's the low-down, or "lift-up," as it were. In short, they do work, but there's a few things you should know:

First, it takes a while to get your order. If you're looking to order for a special formal or event, you should plan accordingly because it took several weeks for my package to arrive.

In the commercial, a couple of ladies slide their bra straps in the clip behind their backs with ease. They must be more talented than I am because I never found a way to do this. Each time I put my bra on as normal, then tried to place the clip behind my back, I couldn't do it. For me, it's a two-person job from that angle. However, it was a one-person job if I put my bra on around my waist, (with the clasp in front) slipped the clip on from the front then turned my bra around, putting it on as usual. I could get the clip on easily using that method, but I couldn't slide the clip down past a certain point by myself. With some tops, you may not need to adjust the clip by sliding it down in order to hide your bra straps. The clips come with instruction cards that give you two options.

Another issue is that I needed to take all of the give out of my bra straps because if I put on a clingy type of fabric, the straps were pulled so tightly that a bulge formed in the back. Not cool - cleavage is supposed to be in the front, not in the back.... Note that the ladies in the commercial have not one ounce of fat on them... Personally, I think buying a bra that's one size bigger than you normally wear may eliminate this. I think I'll go try some on and see if this helps.

In the end, I found that the clip really does hide my bra straps, which is the goal, but putting the clip on -- and adjusting it -- is not nearly as easy as the commercial makes it out to be, at least it wasn't for me. All in all, it was a good purchase and I'll definitely be using my clips. They send you three sets, and I'll never use all three sets. I'll offer a set with one of the challenge prize packages.

And I know what the other questions is. Yes, it does give you a "boost"....

I have tired these bra clips too and they work pretty good. I was going to order them and had second thoughts since I was skeptical. But I came across them at a drug store and decided to buy them. It was the same set that they sell on tv and Ive seen them in other chain drugstores too. So if someone is interested but doesnt want to order from the tv and wait for them, just try looking at your local drugstore. If you dont like them you can just return them to the store you bought them at and you wont waste money on S&H.

I bought them not really for the lift, but more for the fact they hide the straps and because I am petite and the bra straps are always too long for me. I have found a few petite bras but they are really hard to find in stores. I adjust the straps to the shortest size and they still are too big. But these clips help becuase they tighten the straps. So, as Andi said you may have to loosen the straps so you dont get bumps in the back. I dont think they are comfortable for everyday wear, but they will be nice for dresses and tank tops in the summer. And they give a lift or boost, although I dont think its the full cup size they suggest on the add... if that was the case then Im pretty sure Id be bustin out of the bra and need to buy a bra in the next cup size. But, overall, I will find uses for them and I dont regret buying the clips.

When these commercials came out I kinda laughed because i remedied this problem years ago. I sewed a hook-and-eye onto the back of my bras for those needed occassions, however, it is a two person job to hook it when needed so to eliminate that problem I sewed them onto the bras I have that clasp in the front.

It helps with the boost but hey nowadays it's leagal to stuff your bra with "enhancers" unlike the high schooldays when all a girl had was tube socks. ;)

Also lengthening the straps help elminate some of the bulge.

I was worried about stretching out my bra straps with those clippie things, then I found some pretty straps at www.strappity.com that I like to show off - they're like jewelry! Plus they're comfy, adjustable, provide support and don't slip or break! wow ... come on summer!
