Hi all, just wondered if anyone can give me some advise.

I (and I seem I am not alone) have embarked on that never ending quest in order to look fabulous in all those strapless little numbers in the summer sun...finding a strapless bra that fits, and is comfortable.

So, I thought (after finding many traditional strapless bras uncomfortable) I'd try one of those self-ahesive jobbies. I bought one in Primark at the weekend as I didn't really want to spend a fortune, and...it doesn't stick. I've followed the instructions and it just falls off.

Now, in the instructions it states this item is non-refundable, but since it doesn't do what it says on the tin, am I entitled to a refund?

    It's not fit for purpose so take it back and don't let Primark fob you off with any rubbish about hygiene.
  • You're entitled to a refund as it's faulty. Take your receipt and all packaging with you. You should be fine.

    I have a bra like that. Its not material, more like "fake" flesh (sounds way weirder than it is) but it sticks fine.

    Of course you do have to put one on each side THEN hook them together and can be quite tricky.

    Lol! thanks for all the helpful (and funny) comments - sorry to disappoint but no photos of me plus my non-sticking bra.

    As a quick update, I took the bra back today (have the day off work so thought it a better time to brave Primark than the weekend). Had the receipt, all original packaging etc and was all ready to argue my case (even suggest that perhaps I should demo how the product doesn't work in the middle of the store lol!) but there was no problem in returning it at all - not sure if it was beacuase it was a guy at customer services (ladies, we all know what some of them are like dealing with things like bras etc :rotfl:)

    Anyway, upshot is that I got my money back with no probs, thumbs down for Primark Self-Adhesive bras but thumbs up for their Customer Services :T
