Underwear
Review: Thin Lizzy Miracle Bra
Ok so this
is a different type of review completely but one I found was necessary.
My 5 yr old daughter
is a walking infomercial, almost every day she is telling me about fabulous
products she has seen in infomercials and even quotes them, one day I was
mopping the floors and she said “You don’t need sloppy buckets of dirty water,
you need a Shark Steam mop!”. Heaven forbid I get a pimple, I get told all
about Proactiv and told that Justin Bieber and Katy Perry use it! Just this
morning when I was straightening my hair she was telling me all about a
fantastic tool that can straighten AND curl my hair. So of course I’ve heard
all about the Ahh Bra and Thin Lizzy Miracle bra too (I will add here that I
was MORTIFIED when she was 4 and I picked her up from daycare and was informed
that she had used a sales pitch for the Ahh Bra on a mother picking up her
child!)
So one day
after shopping for Shapewear(review coming soon) I was at the pharmacy and
wearing an uncomfortable bra when I saw the Thin Lizzy Miracle Bra, it is very
similar to the Ahh Bra, feeling uncomfortable I could hear my little girls
words in my head about the comfort of the Ahh Bra and thought how wonderful
that level of comfort would be, plus the Thin Lizzy bra offered removable pads
for a dollar more so with a fair amount of excitement and dreaming of the
wonderful support and comfort promised I took it to the counter and handed over
$24.95. So here is my review
Thin Lizzy
Miracle Bra
Cost: $24.95
Claims:
Superior support, seamless, removable pads for shape and added lift
What I
thought? Well for one it sure is comfy. I even sleep in it. I get home from a
long day out and off comes my bra and on goes the Miracle Bra… yes that’s
right, I avoid wearing it out because the support is CRAP! The pads were
removed after the first 2 times I wore it as they kept moving around and making
the shape of my boobs just weird. It does nothing flattering for my bust and as
for the seamless claim, meh I can get the same effect from a well fitted bra.
Would I recommend
it?
Yes and No.
If you want a comfy everyday bra that flatters your bust, I would suggest a
fitting at a lingerie store because this bra is not flattering AT ALL!
But if you
are looking for a bra that is comfy and good for lounging around and sleeping
in then yes, I feel $24.95 is an OK price. The colour range is decent too.
Overall
Verdict?
I could take
it or leave it. Nothing to get excited over
Well that’s my
review for now
Till Next
time
Stay Simply
Stunningly Gorgeous xx
I own two of these. I have a small bust, so no significant support requirements. I had no issues with the shape due to the padding UNTIL I washed the bra. The pads are made from very sticky foam and to prevent them sticking to the bra material they are covered by two loose and disconnected triangles of smoother material - one outside and one inside of each pad. The pads are inserted through two slits just wide enough to get a finger through. After washing the bras, I found the pads and their liners were all crumpled up. The first time it took me two hours to get both pads straightened and re-covered in the smooth covers. If you leave the covers off, the pads stick to the bra like velcro and produce wrinkles that you can see through clothes. The covers are bizarre - they have two sides, a smooth and a slightly rough side. They keep rolling up at all three edges and it is near impossible to get them straight, lying flat against the pads and to maintain this while re-inserting them through the slot in the cup. Why not produce a single all-over cover rather than two separate triangles? This is just cheap. If this was sorted out this bra would be perfect for me.
ReplyDeleteThin lizzy bra is not suitable for D - D+ ladies.There is no support. The pad inserts are a nightmare. Move around and don't stay in place. Sometimes they fold in half when washing and is a pain to try and unfold them. When I washed my bra all the elastic started coming out. Not worth the price I paid for and would not recommend this bra to anyone. They run like stockings need to be careful with your nails ... which was my case, as the jolly bra keeps rolling up. NOt a fan. Waste of money. Ahh bra is just as worse.
