Women are constantly told that they’re probably wearing the wrong size bra–but no one seems to offer a solution. Until now. I just tried Brayola, the algorithm for online bra shopping, and am totally convinced.
For one, the process was so painless. A 3-question quiz taken online in the comfort of my own home while wearing pajamas Vs. schlepping to the mall to strip down for a fitting with a complete stranger? Hmmm, tough call. And the results were great; I got two super comfy bras for under $50 that fit perfectly. What more could a girl want??
How it works: head over to Brayola’s site, select “Add A New Bra” and take the quick quiz. The questions are: what bra brand you currently wear, which style it is (they populate the options for you) and what size. Can you handle it?? The algorithm then generates recommendations for other similar bras that will be best for you based off what you’re currently wearing. Yas.
I currently wear Spanx’s Bra-llelujah! Full Coverage Bra–a wonderful bra that happens to retail for $70–and the Brayola algorithm suggested for me Warner’s No Side Effects Wire-Free Bra ($40) and Wacoal Body Racerback Underwire Bra ($46)–in addition to many cheaper options.
It was so refreshing to have the process simplified, and to have the product recommended for me to buy be *so* affordable. I felt the opposite of up-sold; I was able to replace my pricey bra with a cheaper look-alike. And now isn’t that what we’re all about?
