stick-on bras: do they actually work?

KatieJane83

So, I really like this dress:



but it would obviously be impossible to wear a regular bra with it. Does anyone have any experience with those stick-on, or adhesive bras? Do they actually work? And if so, any recommendations for brands?

I know, kind of a weird question! Lol

I bought a pair a while ago from Target for a school dance...they worked pretty well. I would say if you plan on using them a lot, get a high-quality pair, but the Target ones worked for me for a couple years. Gorgeous dress, btw.

I am a D and tried them for a backless dress...what a joke...would have done better with duct tape and pasties. It may depend on your cup size. I don't remember the brand I used, but they weren't cheap. From Belk's I think. Good luck! Maybe try to sew in a bra in the front?

I got an expensive pair from La Senza one time and they didn't work at all... and I don't have particularly big boobs and I'm only 22, so no kids or nursing or anything.

My suggestions would be pasties, or sew a bra into the front of the dress.

just go bra-less. are you perky?

umm....as long as you don't sweat too much and aren't too large... Let's just say I wore one for my wedding and danced a little too much I don't know how far down the back of the dress would go on you but they sell straps to make the back of your bra lower.

I tried a pair once...ridiculous. Yeah, I'm large (32 DD), but I thought...if they make them in my size, they must work, right? Right? Nope...Wishful thinking.

I think the only people for whom stick-on's *may* work is for people who barely need a bra to begin with. My guess is that if you are asking this question (ie, you've already decided that going braless is not an option for you), the answer is probably no.

No one seems to have had a positive experience with them but me! I was a 36D and didn't have the perkiest of boobs and they still worked for me! Unfortunately, I don't remember what brand they were!!! They weren't expensive either and they lasted me a couple years. When I gained weight I got rid of them. If it would help, they looked like chicken cutlets lol!

From a Google image search for stick on bras I could not find a pic of boobs larger then a B. I think that dress is AMAZING but probably not going to work with stick on bras. I wouldn't be caught dead bra less myself and I'm a larger C. I hope you can find something!

I used these (along with some of those cups you stick to the inside of a dress to give you more shape) to wear a dress that plunged almost to my belly button, and they worked great! I'm a C/D cup.

Victoria's Secret (and other places) make low-back bustiers specifically for dresses like this too. Love the dress, btw!

Get the bra with the clear back strap instead. There are some that have the clasp in the front and a clear strap thats super discreet (I think Vikki's secret has them).

They won't hold them up, but the will prevent nipple visibility.

I'd definitely go with this.

They don't really offer much support but they will hide your nips if it get cold.

Gorgeous dress!

I would go bra-less and get a pair of the nipple covers; they sell them at Target. The stick on bra doesn't seem to offer any lift or support anyway, and I would worry the entire evening about it becoming unstuck and dropping to the floor at an inopportune moment.

I have used one that worked, but I am a B. I know girls who use them that are C's, but I don't think anything bigger will work. The best ones are the ones that look like raw chicken haha.. by this is mean the ones that the whole thing is silicon material, rather than the ones that are sticky on one side and cotton or some other material on the other. The silicon ones are thicker and, it seems to me, give better support.
