In her own words

For years my shoulders were raw by dinnertime. Then I found a bra that carries the weight somewhere else.

I am not a lingerie person. Never was. For most of my adult life the best part of the day was the moment I could take my bra off and rub the grooves out of my shoulders. If that sounds familiar, keep reading, because something finally changed for me.

By dinnertime my shoulders were raw

The straps had carved two red grooves into my shoulders by mid-afternoon. I would catch myself hunching forward at my desk to take the weight off, then rolling my shoulders back, then hunching again. The first thing I did when I got home was reach up and pull the straps off.

I had made my peace with it. I thought that was the price of support, that a bra was supposed to dig in a little if it was doing its job.

I was sure lift meant tight straps and a wire

When my sister told me she had switched to a wireless bra with wide straps, I rolled my eyes. I have a fuller bust. Wide and wireless sounded like a soft bralette that would give me nothing. I ordered one mostly to prove her wrong.

What I did not know is that support was never about the strap alone. It was about where the weight goes. This one uses ultra-wide padded straps and a wide band that move the load off your shoulders and onto your torso. On paper that is about 60% less weight on your shoulders. On my body it just felt like being held without being dug into.

The first day, I forgot I had it on

That was the strange part. There was no big moment of relief, because there was no ache to relieve. I put it on in the morning and simply stopped thinking about it until I was getting ready for bed.

Smooth shoulder with no red marks after wearing the Comfort Lift

That night, I looked in the mirror

Twenty years of red lines on my shoulders, and there was nothing. Smooth skin. I actually called my sister.

Since then I have worn it to work, on long flights, in the garden and all day at home. It holds. It breathes. It does not slip. And putting it on takes seconds, because it closes in the front.

I have replaced almost every bra I own

Not all at once, but one by one the old underwires went in the bin. I am not going back. If you have dreaded the afternoon for years, I promise you that you do not have to.
