Stick- Ons: Tips on Choosing Bras

Video Transcript

" Hi! My name is Christine and I am speaking to you from Simply Lovely Lingerie in Stratford, Ontario. On behalf of expertvillage.com, we would like to talk to you about bras and bra fitting. In this clip we want to take a moment to talk to you about stick on features that you can get at your lingerie stores. If you have any formal wear that requires an open back, you may be looking into one of these types of products. This one in my hand here is almost like a giant band aid. It's not going to give you a smooth look under your formal wear but it has a peel and stick feature, and even though it is limited in its sizing, the D cup will be very supportive. Some ladies out there are very sensitive to adhesives on stick ons, if that is that is deterring you from buying them. What we recommend is that if you go to take the stick on away from the skin and it is pulling, just to take a blow dryer and apply a little bit of heat on the adhesive; that should pull away from your skin easily. Knowing that, we also recommend that you don't use any talc or oils before putting it on, as it's not going to get the proper tackiness to it. There are other products out there, whether it be a stick-on bra or stick-on gels like this. We do recommend that you make sure they are government tested because the silicone adhesive that's in here, the surgical adhesive, may cause irritation to women that have sensitive skin. If you go into your local lingerie store, tell them your concerns and your needs. I'm sure they will be able to pick out the appropriate product. "
