Has anyone tried the Braza Bra?

I just saw this online and wondered if anyone had tried it. I'd like to know what you thought of it.

I suppose it would be good for concealing the prominant parts but it doesnt exactly look as though it would be supportive.

Yeah, it looks like it provides no support at all. Even the model in the picture looks saggy. Imagine once the jumping starts!

Black eyes come to mind but not in my case (I should be so lucky)

If you are thinking of putting something in your dress for more support, try these:

or pin a bra in, cut the straps off -OR- take your dress to a dressmaker and have her make a custom one...there are tons more options to go, depends on how much time/skill you have

I have even seen tape being used....

What's the point of that? Negligble support and looks like it'd be painful to take off. If you're going to tape things to your ladies, just use pasties. It achieves the same effect without all the ripping.

Skate@Delaware, thanks for the link. Those look like better options.

Vesperholly, where does one get pasties? LOL.

I have not tried the bra you mentioned. However, I recently rec'd this link request. Bra looks good, but I have not tried it myself.

Title : Shock absorber bras
Description: Supportive racer back style sports bra with added anti bounce panel for sophisticated support. Adjustable side fastenings with flat underband for a sports bra with added comfort, with soft and supportive Meryl Actisystem fibres to keep the skin dry. This is a sports bra that really does what it says on the tin.

Women's Health magazine did an article on sports bras, it was nice because they also included A-cups (yes, even little girls need support )

http://www.womenshealthmag.com/fitne...st-sports-bras

If you have dresses made for you, you can have your seamstress put flesh-toned fabric on the bodice so you can wear any bra you want. Or you can do this if you make your own.

Most of us, as adult women, need more support than one layer of lycra. And there is the modesty issue...not sure if I want everyone to see how cold the ice rink is, KWIM??
