If you’re suspicious of sticky bras and whether they can actually, truly support you, we feel your pain. It’s a constant battle to find a good invisible bra that will comfortably keep you lifted, without slipping and sliding down after only a few hours of wear.
For years before this bra technology was perfected, sticky bras (the kind with no shoulder or back straps, in case you weren’t sure what we were referring to) were synonymous with those little pasties that seem to only work for women with smaller cup sizes. Even then, it was anybody’s guess whether they’d actually stay in place for longer than an hour. If you’ve ever fallen victim to a pastie that goes MIA–you know there’s nothing more mortifying.
But thankfully, times have changed when it comes to backless bras! At least one invisible bra has finally stepped up to the plate: the Holisouse Invisible Bra. It claims to be one of the best bras to wear under halter tops, backless gowns, or honestly, any other style of top you choose.
How did it get this prestigious title, you ask? It’s been reviewed over 1,000 times by happy customers and has a 4.2 out of 5-star rating.
Customers claim this sticky bra is so comfortable, you’ll forget you’re wearing anything at all. The adhesive bra sticks to you without pulling or tugging at your skin and it even features a front drawstring that can be used to adjust the amount of lift and cleavage you show.
Imagine total liberation from straps and snaps—almost sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? Check out the
Holisouse Invisible Bra ($8.99-16.99)
The Holisouse Invisible Bra is a backless, strapless, adjustable sticky push-up bra that is earning rave reviews from thousands of Amazon reviewers. The invisible bra has been featured on Instagram a bunch, too. Stars like Amber Rose definitely aren’t shy about posing in it and singing its praises on social media.
First, some details about this bra: it comes in cup sizes A through DDD, which makes it stand out as one of the few sticky adhesive bras that can support larger cup sizes. It’s made with medical grade adhesive that sticks to the skin without torturing you like some other bras—especially when it comes time to peel it off. You'll no logner feel like you're ripping a Band-Aid off your boobs at the end of the night. One of its best features is the nipple area is free from adhesive, so there’s no need to worry about pulling and tugging on that super sensitive area.
The bra was designed so that there’s airflow in the middle of it--a thoughtful feature you’ll appreciate if you’re used to wearing sticky bras that leave a trail of sweat in the middle of your breasts. However, the real star feature of this bra is its unique rope design in the middle. This adjustable pully system allows you to adjust to the level of cleavage enhancement you want that day. If you’re feeling like you need some super lift while wearing a dress for a night out, just pull the drawstring tighter. Want to tone it down while wearing a regular halter top? Loosen the string. It’s that easy! Reviewers say it’s no joke: you can get serious cleavage from this bra.
The Holisouse Invisible Bra comes in nude or black and the top price you’ll pay is less than $20, depending on the size you order. This makes it one of the most affordable sticky bra options out there.
Here's What Reviewers Have To Say
As we all know, a bra’s manufacturer can sing its product's praises all day long, but if real customers aren’t happy with it, all of those lovely design details are meaningless. The Holisouse Invisible Bra earned more than 1400 reviews on Amazon. Most of the glowing reviews focus on how adhesive this bra is. Once you have it on properly, this sticky bra isn’t going anywhere. Others are enamored with its ability to cover larger breast sizes and how it can be reused several times without losing its adhesiveness.
One reviewer named Niesha writes: “I love this bra!! I have worn this bra several times and it works good! I am able to wear so many shirts and dresses now without worrying about my bra strap showing. I'm a DD and it fits great.”
Brittney, who is a size A, writes: “I was looking for a backless and strapless bra for a dress I bought for an upcoming special event. I already have a bra that is silicone but only has one hook in the middle. When putting on the old bra, I have to say, it is not the easiest thing to put on. There is a lot of applying and reapplying to get it just right and I can never seem to get a good lift with cleavage. When I came across this one (with the ties in the center) I figured I would give it a try after being impressed with the videos I've seen on how to use / apply the bra. I liked the idea that once I had put it on, to the best of my ability, I could simply pull the string in the middle and create the cleavage I was looking for. Initially, the bra I received had an adhesive problem but was quickly rectified by the company, the replacement is MUCH better. I am pleased to say that this bra is much easier to put on than the one with just one clip in the center. After putting the bra on (hint: bending over helps get it right) it is very simple to adjust the lift and cleavage that you are looking for.”
How To Apply And Clean The Holisouse Invisible Bra
Most reviewers are impressed with how easy it is to apply this bra and keep it on. But they also comment on how important it is to care for it properly if you want to get more than just a few uses out of it. Unfortunately, due to the nature of adhesive materials, even the best sticky bra won’t last forever.
To apply the bra, loosen the drawstring and keep a firm hold on the outer cups. Peel back and remove the protective sheet and, while standing in front of a mirror, line up the bra to your body. When you’re satisfied with how it’s positioned, apply the winged edge first and lean into the bra. Adjust the position if needed. Use one hand to hold both ends of the drawstring and the other hand to adjust the toggle upwards to keep the bra in place. Remember: if you’re applying your bra to skin that has just been moisturized or after you’ve sprayed perfume on your body, you could be damaging the bra by weakening its adhesiveness--always try to apply it to freshly cleaned skin.
When it comes time to clean your bra, something you’ll probably want to do after each wear, keep it simple by washing it with a little water and a gentle soap. Lightly clean the bra with your fingers and, instead of using towels or a hairdryer (a big no-no), just leave it in an indoor ventilated place to air dry.
