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

DD wears the smallest size I think its 8-10, these seem to fit her well and she is a 32/34b (a small b) depending on where she shops and she often remarks how comfy they are compared to normal bras, this size also fits me but not as well and I am a 32d. I do the washing so I know that the inserts (pads) which are removable can move around and become out of shape in the wash (this happens with the Genie bras too), I read somewhere that you can stitch them to stay put, if you can be bothered, otherwise you will need to rearrange after a wash. I hate bras too, I wear the Genie bras as I'm a bit bigger, not by much though and hate having to wear anything else, I had a padded underwired one on yesterday and literally ripped it off at the end of the day:rotfl:

Thanks you've been a great help, I've ordered a pack from my friend and looking forward to wearing them :beer:

I found these on a site used by wholesalers and it has 3 pack of Genie bras for $11 del free from China. Good feedback and the Genie bras are made in China.

I might try some for £6.80 ish and see if they are the real deal. They just take longer to come.

j.e.j.

Well, I got curious and ordered a Genie bra in an XS/S size. It is quite small around the ribs, so it fits me well, though I'd say GlowGirl is right, if you're much bigger than a D/DD cup it may not be enough support.

Well I received my pack of 3 genie bras from china, didn't take that long to come and I'm pleased to say these are fab and have the same label as genie bra and feel really good quality, had the white on today and very comfy and gave me great shape.

I am positive these are the real thing. I used this size chart though and even though I'm an 8 dress size I'm in a L genie bra and it fits perfect for my 36a.
