Freebra, an alternative to Nubra

I have plenty of clothes requiring strapless bras to be worn, but I rarely wear them since I do not really possess those suitable bras with half cups. Adhesive "nubra"s offer a good solution, but the authentic ones are sooo expensive! So here's a cheaper alternative:


How does the quality compare to the original one? Honestly, I do not have any idea, since my shallow pockets do not offer me the luxury of owning one. What I can deduce about my use of this product is that, it's tacky enough to stay on the skin and I can barely feel it, a definite must-have for a girl's wardrobe! It does get a little loose at times but not to the extent of dropping off, just have to nudge it a little through a discrete action like hugging my bag or crossing my arms around my chest. My first time lasted >10hours!

I must stress that one has to make the effort to wear the bra correctly, if not it would not last as long on the skin and might feel uncomfortable. It's up to your imagination to try out the different angles, with the hooks etc. Do put on your top and adjust accordingly, for some times it might look fine when you only have it on and then look weird after putting your top on. And please be gentle, plastic hooks looking like this can't survive rough handling:


Some tips to make your adhesive bra more durable and retain its tackiness:
  • Wash with mild soap and water after every use to remove the natural body oils from the surface
  • Air dry, do not dry with towel, so that lints will not get stucked to the surface
  • Use a plastic sheet (comes with the bra) to cover the adhesive surface and store the bra in its original box so that dust will not get stucked

Dislike the way the seller packed the bra though, no bubble-wrap and the flimsy box resulted in this:
