I've seen the commercial many times. I can't help but think that they just won't be strong
enough to hoist the girls up for very long. I don't know, but they don't seem like they'd stand
the test of time and wear. Who knows though, I could be wrong.

kathy, not to be nosy, but what size bra do you wear? I found some Hanes "bandeau" bras that I absolutely LOVE! I have seen them at Target, Kmart and Sears and they are around $11 for a 2 pack. They are so, so comfortable, but if you are large chested, probably do not offer enough support. I don't think they give enough support to wear to work, but I wear them ALL weekend. They are great under a tank.

I haven't purchased that item, so I can't speak to the quality or whether or not it lives up to it's claims.
BUT I know a heckuva lot about fitting clothing. Every single "problem" that bra is supposed to eliminate is caused by poor fit, pure and simple. It's embarrassing the first time, but get yourself to a shop that specializes in lingerie (NOT a chain like Victoria's Secret) and have yourself fitted. Try on a few things that actually fit. Even if you don't buy anything there, you'll have a much better understanding of how things are supposed to fit when you go shopping at a discount store. The right size will fix all of those problems... with or without underwires!

I read some reviews, not good. I have been fitted and I have good bras but gosh darnit they are hot in the summer. It's funny, I had a reduction 20 years ago (I know, TMI) and I wish I had gone much smaller!!!!!

Stand back. I have a budget, and I know how to use it.

My DGM- who was a professional seamstress in her heyday used to tell me to "Beware of man or bra making great uplifting claims; they are usually false"
