> Marion (Cup C): "It maintains the chest well and waist very well. The bra tends to move around a bit during the day, but overall it holds quite well. The material is a little surprising at the beginning and a little "cold", it is not unpleasant either but not the top of the comfort. Nevertheless, the rendering is quite nice, it has a curved effect and it is very discreet under clothing. "
> Clara (D cup): "The support is not crazy for a D cup. The bra came off very quickly because of my movements during the day, it's a shame. On the other hand, it is almost invisible under clothing and the flesh color allows you to wear a white top, it's cool. It still sticks after washing. "

> Marion (Cup C): "It holds very well and sticks well to the chest without coming off. It is also quite comfortable to wear. After washing, the bra stays in good condition and still sticks! On the other hand, it is quite small, the size above would have been more adequate. The price is a bit high but correct for the efficiency and quality of the product. I think it is mentioned that it is dermatologically tested. "
> Clara (D cup): "It doesn't hold up much because it sizes small, but it sticks very well. It is comfortable to wear, I forgot I had it. It always sticks after washing so very good point. Its price is too expensive for the average efficiency. However, it is reassuring to have the words "dermatologically tested."

> Marion (Cup C): "The hold is not optimal because the adhesive part tends to peel off at the same time as the protective plastic strip. It sticks moderately well but is suitable for an evening. The rendering is pretty and discreet. On the other hand, it is a bit small. The price is a bit high considering the effectiveness and quality of the product. "
> Clara (D cup): "The maintenance is not great. On the other hand, it sticks quite well, but does not support much. Be careful, it sizes small! Its price is a bit high for its efficiency. "

The testers' opinion :
> Marie (Cup A): "It holds and sizes well. It is pretty, comfortable, I really like its slightly “ivory” color. I do not find it expensive given its quality and efficiency! "
> Marion (Cup C): "It maintains and shapes the chest very well. The two shells stick well. It peels off a bit at the edges after several hours of use, but that doesn't really affect the grip. A little painful when taking off but little more: the part without glue at the level of the nipples. It washes very well and the protective films are easily put back on after washing and use. I found it to cut very well and hug my chest well. The price / quality ratio is really correct. "
> Clara (D cup): "For less it is the one that offers the best support. A little too effective in terms of glue, I almost had trouble removing it because of the glue which was very adhesive. Fortunately, the small circle without glue at the level of the nipples helps to avoid pain. It always sticks after washing so very good point. It is the only one that has included my breast size, and its price is top! "

How to put on an adhesive bra?
For better adhesion, your skin must be clean and dry before fitting the adhesive bra. Be careful not to apply moisturizer on your chest, the bra will adhere much less well if a fatty substance is applied to the skin. Similarly, the water will prevent the good adhesion of the bra which may thus not stick to the epidermis.
All adhesive bras normally have a center clip. Separate the shells and start by positioning one breast in one of the shells, then the second in the other shell. Then clip the two shells together for a nice neckline. Once they are fully seated, squeeze the adhesive bra for a few seconds.
How to wash an adhesive bra?
To prolong its life, the adhesive bra should be cleaned after each use. To avoid damaging it, wash it by hand with warm water and soap. Avoid the washing machine at all costs! For optimal washing, make circular movements on the adhesive part with the palm of your hand then allow to air dry. Do not use a towel or a hair dryer. Finally, replace the protective films on the hulls.
What is the lifespan of an adhesive bra?
To extend the life of your adhesive bra, you need to take care of it! If it needs to be washed after each use, we also advise you not to keep it on your skin for more than 6 hours. Sweat significantly reduces the effectiveness and adhesion of the bra. It is therefore not recommended to wear the adhesive bra for playing sports, but also in high temperatures. After a few hours, it may come off and therefore no longer be effective for future uses.
