Hi everyone:) my bras arrived yesterday and I wore one for most of the evening, the bra took a bit of getting used to as you can feel you have a more sturdy, thicker strapped bra on but overall I really do like it. I must say that although I am a D cup I am not a full cup so this bra suits me brilliantly, I'm not sure how much support this would give to a larger bust and my boobs do have a bit of a wobble unlike the bras I'm used to.

The bra is super comfy, easy to get in and out of, I chose the right size, an 8 would of been too tight so they do come up small, I don't get uni-boob but if I was much bigger I can see the happening, under clothes it gives a fantastic line, dd commented that my boobs looked more toned:T and they still sit high which I like, I wouldn't like this bra without the pads though, they make a big difference and I have some of my own which are bigger than the ones the bra came with and they work brilliantly too.

The bra doesn't ride up on me or even move, I was jumping around and stretching purposely:o. You could easily sleep in this bra if necessary and I felt my back was more supported, ok they are not the most attractive garment but they are better than I thought, I'm really pleased.

I went shopping yesterday and I was in Peacocks and they have a very similar product for £6 and with 8% lycra (double the genie) I don't know whether this would actually make the bra better (maybe a bit tight?) but that could be worth a look if you fancy trying something similar, I don't think it had pads though but I'm not sure.

So, I'm really glad I tried this product and would buy another set if I needed to, imo this bra wouldn't suit someone with large heavy boobs or someone who wanted no movement at all but if you want comfort, a slight minimising effect, just above medium control and a clean line under clothes they could be worth considering.

I'm happy to answer any questions I haven't covered and thanks again for everyones comments:)

I bought the Wauw bras via a Wowcher offer, seem to be the same as the basic Aah and Genie versions. I am a 36F and they are a waste of time. Yes, very comfortable but that's because there's no support. I was sent an XL set having stated my dress and bra size. The underbust band is very loose because that part is too big, but presumably the smaller size would not accommodate the larger cup size. There is no cup support whatsoever, even layering two bras together. Looks like I'm not wearing a bra at all.
Honestly, don't bother unless you need minimal support from a bra. The marketing is misleading ( maybe even breaching trades descriptions). They don't fit all sizes, they don't provide support for all cup sizes, and are grossly overpriced for a bit of stretchy fabric.
Hope this helps others wondering about the hype.

Do these give a nice shapre under clothes or do they just give the silhouette of no bra? I like push up bras and no jiggle.

I only wear these bras now I love them so much, they give me minimal bounce and a lightly uplifted look, think sports bra but better. I can only say again that if my boobs where much bigger (I'm a small D) I don't think I would like these bras. The are defiantly not in the league of a push up though if you like that look.

I have been wondering about these for me but i'm very small chested, think Kate Moss. So has anyone had these for this chest size as I don't want to spend money and they be baggy and no good. I'm a size 8 dress size as well.

I do regulary go braless :eek: just because I hate wearing bras when I have nothing to put in them, it makes them really uncomfy to wear.

But i do realise lighter coloured tops do need some support/cover underneath. Also are there any as good but cheaper

Thanks,

DD has small boobs and wears the equivalent of the Genie bra from Peacocks, ok the quality is slightly lesser but not that much and they are much much cheaper, I think they come in packs of two and I think they are better looking because they have smaller straps which shouldnt be a problem as you (and dd) dont need hoisting up;)

Thanks for that, I have a friend who works in Peacocks so may get her to get some for me with discount if she can, are they S, M and L, what does your DD think about the sizing, true to size?

I hope they fit me, I hate bra's

Thanks for resurrecting this thread

I was wondering if the Genie bra is suitable for someone with a small back-size? (I normally take a 28 or 30). I see that the Genie size S is supposed to be 34-36, so am thinking it might be too large for me..
