NuBra silicone inserts

Has anyone tried these. they are silicone and they stick to your skin. I bought some but they get sweaty and then i feel like they are gonna fall out. i'm scared i'll be dancing and this big boobie will slide down my stomach. I got them because the dress i got in Cairo is too big in the chest. i had it filled in some with cotton and fabric but it doesn't seem to do it. I'm contemplating taking the filling out and just using the silicone inserts but i'm scared they will fall out and ruin my performance. any ideas ladies?

Here it is:

Those look like bra-replacements for revealing dresses. I don't think they're really designed for vigorous activity or sweat. If fabric and cotton padding aren't working, I know a lot of people have had success using shoulder pads as bra pads. Also, 1-1.5 in foam cut into a crecent shape and inserted between the lining and the bra.

Here it is:
DON'T put these in a costume bra. I had that exact nightmare happen to me. They got sweaty and one plopped out of my costume onto the floor next to a table of restaurant patrons.

I don't believe those things work for anyone with breasts bigger than a very firm B. They clearly can't support you. But ooh! Look at that "u-shaper" thing! I wonder if it has a crotch? It could be a good body stocking.

My favourite thing on that page has got to be the cream to "restore the youthful colour of your aerolas". WHAT?

I know someone who danced with something simular at a festival. She wore it under a little tie on top with matching hip scarf. Came detached on one side. Need I say more?

Now, that having been said, the scilicon chicken cutlets do seem to have soem redemtion value.

I have used one under a bedlah just for better shape. The bra was already tight, there was no way the silicon cutlets could have fallen/slipped (even if they weren't adhesive) unless I lost the bra too.
That was when I was a B cup. Now that I'm a D, I wouldn't use them, I don't think they'd do anything.

"Nourish, moisturize, and repair damaged/tired cells. Restore the softness and pink appearance of the areolas"

I thought this might be for breastfeeding mums with sore nipples, but no:

"This product is not recommended for expecting or nursing mothers"

I use the foam add-a-size pads you find at fabric stores. One bra has been a little tricky to pad correctly, and I've added an extra swimsuit bra liner. But I would try these before you put the NuBra on. I used to sell them at the department store I worked at and, while they're sticky, they definitely wouldn't withstand the amount of sweat I produce when I dance!

Tired?

Women have enough to worry about without adding "are my nipples suffering from chronic fatigue?" to the list.

i don't trust any bra pads that are not sewn in. too dangerous for the reasons mentioned above. you don't want to serve people chicken cutlets they didn't order ;)

i would tack in some foam pads. they are much lighter weight and you can sew them in [tack on corners either over or under the bra lining]

nipple color? who cares! i can't even keep up with my hair color and people see that! guess some people will buy anything, huh?

I have the Target version of this and I love it. I have only worn it to parties and weddings but I have socially danced in it for several hours with no problems, I'd be too scared to wear under a costume though.

I wore some with no other bra out to a sweaty nightclub several times no probs when I was a C (and man do they produce a much more flattering shape and less hassle than a strapless bra), and now I am a D I could still wear them if they did a bigger size (with no sagging thank you very much)!


They did loose their sticky after maybe 5 times (and the washing can only restore it so far), but they are still sticky enough I'd trust them inside another bra no probs as the biggest danger is falling off downwards rather than slipping about. I thought the rib cage band was supposed to do most of the supporting of the boobs hence no room for thing slipping out anyway? Lately I've been wearing my new Eman with shoulder pads just shoved in and between the appropirately supportive rib cage band and the boob tape holding things in at the top there was no risk of them coming out. I'm not a very sweaty person, maybe that helps.

Thanks Ladies,

I'll try it tonight at my dress rehearsal. I think i'll end up not using them. I just liked that they jiggle like breasts. I don't want to do a shoulder shimmy and my chest won't move because of all the foam or cotton.

Next time i'll just get a dress made special for me instead of taking up something made for a D cup.

As for nipple color- that's crazy. It's okay to have brown nipples. Some find it very sexy. Also have you heard. People are bleaching their anus too now.

Rakgirl, I had a costume bra that was way too big once and I fixed it by actually sewing a smaller bra inside it!

I took a bra that fit me and cut it apart. Discarded everything except the cups and opened up the lining on the costume bra. Then I tried on my costume bra with the other bra cups inside it to see where to position it. Mostly you're trying to get the underwires to fit in the right place. I sewed the top bra edge to the costume bra, put some padding between the bottom half of the bra cup and the bottom of the costume cup and closed the lining back up.

It worked like a dream. My own boobs rested in the inner bra cups like hammocks, all the cleavage was my own, and it was totally secure.

I'm using gel inserts in a too-big bra right now, and I don't like it. They're way too heavy, the neck strap is about to kill me. Hmmm, wonder if I can find an hour of free time and a bra I'm willing to cut up!

The only person I've heard of actually having this done was Courtney Love... and she's hardly a typical person.
