Has anyone tried the Nubra?

CheryleB · Kenneth Cole

I bought it thinking it would work under a dress with a low back and spagetti straps and was quite disappointed. It was difficult to get it on evenly, i.e., both sides the same height and angle, and it didn't stay on well at all. I tested it out by putting it on and putting an eyeliner mark at the top. I wore it around the house for an hour and it had slipped down an inch already.

I've read that if you are a B cup or smaller, it works well but anything bigger and it isn't the best choice. Here's what I ended up using.

I have the natural bra which is pretty much the same thing. It works great on me. I dont use it much anymore b/c I found me a strapless bra at target. However I do use them as inserts in my reg bra when I need some va va voom

. the double sided tape that comes with it is great b/c I use it for lots of other things

I have this one from JCPenney. There is only one dress I wear it with. The dress is jersey and is very fitted across the chest and back. I tried wearing a regular bra with it but you could see the outline of the straps in the back so I bought this. I like it.

I have an older version of the one bloomie posted. I got it back in 2004 to wear under my wedding dress. I love it! I don't use it very often, only with tops that really can't be worn with a strapless bra. It stays on well and doesn't hurt to take off. (I was worried about the sticky stuff hurting). It weirded me out at first because I think the cups look like chicken breasts.

I also have the one that Bloomie has and I love it! I wore it to two weddings where I danced all night and never had a single problem with slippage or anything. I told a girlfriend to buy one and she loves hers too! We are both B cups, so I can't say if it would work as well for someone with a larger cup.

Thanks Ladies! I ordered the one that Bloomie posted. I hope I like it! I also ordered some Spanx bottoms to wear under a jersey dress. Have you ladies had any luck with Spanx? I hear it's all the rave.

have them and love them.

I have the one you posted. I actually like it quite a bit - I'm a true B and haven't had any problems with slippage. My favorite part is there are no bra lines to be seen & I get a little oomph.
I bought mine at victoria's secret last summer. I've only used it a handful of times but I have danced all night in it and it still has held up. hth!

I bought the spanx too. I'm a lingerie freak. I find it gives a great smooth line under formal dresses. I don't wear it too often but it really does work well and doesn't leave any lines at the top or bottom.

I am not a fan. I actually felt like it was a waste of money.
