The Upbra Review: Helps Boost Cleavage for a Sexier Figure

This is the Convertible Bra that provides a lot of ways to wear it.

Some women are blessed by nature with perfect size breasts.  Others like me not so much.  This is why I was more than happy to review The Upbra when the company reached out to see if their unique design really could create believable cleavage without tons of padding.   

I hate bra shopping anyway.  Going store to store and undressing trying to find a good fit is such a pain.  Sometimes, you find comfortable ones but they really don’t help enhance size that much.  Other styles may pump up breast size, but may dig into the breastbone or overly exaggerate my girls like I’m wearing falsies, which is not how I like it.  I expect comfort, supportive lift, smoothness, and just enough padding that is realistic to build up my breasts over being obvious.

Here is the T-Shirt Bra.

The Upbra ActiveLift technology is different from other bra designs.  Besides lifting the boobs from the bra straps, it features cleavage control straps under the bra cups.  The bra cups inside are specially distinct to this system being composed of vinyl hearts for help arranging the boobs in position.  Once you put the bra on and adjust your girls, you take the control straps and pull tight for the amount of cleavage you need before hooking them beneath.  

Those inside control straps are what you pull tight and later hook in place.

There are quite a few spots that you can hook the straps into to vary the look of your cleavage.  At first, it can take practice fumbling for a hook because they’re hidden inside, but it becomes easier the more you play with it. 

The styles I tried were the T-shirt Bra ($77.00)  and the Convertible Bra ($79.00) that you adjust the straps to accommodate the style of the outfit.  I usually take a 36B, but these sizes run a bit large.  For example, the cups fit my girls perfectly.  The problem was the fit around the breastbone.

I forgot to mention The Upbra has four hooks to fasten compared to the usual three. The fit you should aim for is snug enough to hook into the first or second hooks.  The reason for this extra hook is that the bra may stretch in time.  It was the extra hook around the breastbone that accounted for the looser fit.  I would have had a better fit going smaller around the breastbone and keeping the same cup size.  Keep this extra hook in mind because it adds additional length around the breastbone when selecting the right size.

The company sends a booklet with help on getting the right fit as well.  According to the advice, I should have gone with the 34C (if a smaller band was needed) or 34B (if smaller cup/band was needed).  

The Upbra does help create believable cleavage and is an especially wonderful addition to any wardrobe when dressing for special occasions such as holiday parties that will be coming up.  It also makes a great holiday gift for any lady on your list to make her feel sexier than ever.  To learn more or buy, visit The Upbra’s website. 

ThirdLove Lingerie T-Shirt Bra and Mesh Boyshort Panty for Style and Perfect Fit! (Review)

ThirdLove Lingerie

Lingerie can be tricky to buy.  After all, bras and panties differ in sizing with each manufacturer.  If you’re like me and hate making a trip to the store and stripping down just to test the fit of underwear, you are going to love ThirdLove, an online lingerie boutique, and their system of helping you get the perfect fit.

There are two methods to get your ideal measurements.  You can do it the old-fashioned way of taking out the measuring tape from your sewing box and hope it was accurate. However, this company modernized the process with their free phone app that uses computer image recognition in effect to figure out your best bra size.  To find out more on the technology, ThirdLove has a video that explains how easy and more precisely you can be fitted.

When I was browsing through their selection and trying to decide among all their tempting styles from European-inspired lace, memory foam for your bust to the lovely wireless bra styles to their sexy panties, I noticed they cater to both the full-figured to the lesser endowed woman and even to those in between with “half-sizes.”  With all that going for ThirdLove, I had my work cut out for me in my attempt to pick out a bra and panty for this review.  

Here is my new ThirdLove T-shirt Bra with Pleasted Straps.

The first item I choose was the 24/7 T-shirt Bra with the Pleated  Straps ($64) in the nude color.  This one has memory foam cups with soft micro jersey fabric for how it can provide that desired smooth silhouette.  It also has an under wire, which I neglected to pay attention to when I ordered, which is surprisingly comfortable and did not bite into the rib cage as some under wires can.   Seriously, I was shocked at how right on the fit was without trying the bra on first.  By the way, none of ThirdLove’s bras state a size if you are looking for one.

As to the panty, I picked up a  sexy number with their Mesh Boyshort  ($10) in naked.  Before I placed my order, I was advised by one of their helpful customer service representatives to go with the next larger size since this almost see through beige panty runs small.  Her wonderful forethought saved me from getting the wrong fit.

Look at how beautifully sheer the fabric of my new ThirdLove Mesh Boyshort is.

After this hassle-free shopping experience, I know that I definitely intend on putting this company to the test again to test if this perfect sizing was a fluke or will repeat itself in another style or two.  

If you too are fed up wasting your time in dressing rooms, I think you owe it to yourself to give ThirdLove a try.  Trust me, but I am confident you will love them!
