    My dress is backless so I've been searching for backless push-up bras.. I found this one on ebay for an awesome price.. but I've never tried anything like this before! Has anyone tried a silicone self-adhesive backless bra? I'm posting the picture the seller had... Thanks girls!

    Yep! They work well as long as you wash them well in between uses with hand soap, usually. :) stick them in the right place the first time, though, or rewash and try again so that they'll stay really well!!!

    they work if you have a C cup or less - and C is pushing it - anything bigger than that its worthless. but it worked wonders back when i was smaller in the bust!!!! :)

    My sister uses hers a lot - but she is a nervous girl so she re-enforces it with fashion tape just to make sure it stays in place!

    I'm a 34C and I love mine!  I recommend them - really handy for formal clothing.

    Target has them. I own 4 of them..... needless to say I LOVE them. 

    Then again, I'm only a 32B, not too much to hold-up and cover-up there! 

    Buy one at Target, try it out for a day, if you don't like it, return it! (is that gross to return a sticky bra?)

    They are very sticky, except if you start to sweat!

    I have tried ones like that before and honestly I didn't like them.  If you sweat, the sticky part becomes unsticky and they move around and are uncomfortable.

    i definately suggest trying it out - i was pushing it when i was a 32C-32D...it stayed up but didnt really "stay up" and offer the look you might be looking for. you would be better saved with duct tape sometimes lol

    but honestly try it out. it just works better for smaller chests because the weight of teh boobs compared to the amount of sweat that someone has (those things dont breathe) will make a difference whether or not it will work well.

    I'm a UK 38D and I really didn't like it. It didn't feel like it gave me any support and, as MissAsB said, it started coming a bit unstuck after wearing it for a while and some light sweating. 

    My advice is to try it. I think this is one of those "you either love it or you hate it" things.

    Hey at VS they make a bra, that you can use that is basically "backless" it has these extenders and they wrap around your stomach. I would try that one out, b/c you can always continue using the bra for other things, (It is one of those convertible bras for Razor Backs, Halters, Backless, Low Front.) Go try that one on in the store, jump around, do the robot and if can survive that then buy it!

    I am also a 34 c and I love mine. They are a little uncomfortable if you sweat a lot, but otherwise it feels like a normal bra to me. I had  no problem with mine besides the first tie putting it on was fun (getting it exactly where you want, without it showing on the sides,etc.) I would say get one and see if you like it.

    Silicone adhesive bras are AMAZING (: I've had brides who wore these and they can create excellent cleavage while staying in place, even on women of smaller busts. It all comes down to the positioning of the bra. If you place it further from the center of your chest (more towards the sides), and then clasp the middle clasp together, it pushes your breasts together to give you amazing cleavage. The theory is similar to that of push up bras, where there's padding on the bottom & sides. For this, I recommend getting a size smaller (so if you are a B cup, get an A cup). I think this could be a great choice for you because your dress is backless, and using this kind of bra will not only give you a nice shape, it will also stay in place throughout the day. Good luck!

    Years ago when I was a C-D cup I tried one of these bras (my sister and I call them "chicken cutlets") but it just would not stay in place, brand new, washed, etc. I tried everything.It was the largest size you could get at the time (C I think)

    I gave it to my sister and she loves it. She's a B cup. It looks great on her. I'm not sure it works all that well for those with ample tops.

    I'm a 34C as well. I like mine but I have an older VS style that I think makes me look all weird. The newer ones are much better.

    I've gone to teh club in mine and it stayed put all night! Thay are really good.

    I didn't like the one that I bought for my senoir prom. I have D-cups and it just wasn't going to do it at all. To me it just didn't seem to provide enough support, so I went without it.

    Okay, I'm a B-cup and LOVE these.  I bought a set on ebay for $10 and they have lasted FOREVER, just wash well in hot water and soap after each use.  Like a previous poster said, they can be a bit problematic when you sweat, as water hurts their adhesive abilities, but even when I was dancing my ass off in the middle of the summer, they didn't lose so much adhesiveness that they fell off entirely.

    I'll be the voice of dissent, I guess.

    I've had 2 or 3 of these, and hated them all. I think it might be because my boobs are really far apart-- It either turned me into uniboob, or sloppy-droopy boob, or just weird-boob. Meh.

     

    Another friend bought these (against my advice... hah), and on a hot july day... IT FELL OFF.

     

    So yeah, I'm not a fan. :p

    I'm with scissors. I wore these in high school once, I was a 36 C then and I ended up having to use duct tape (can we say major tape burn?!) last minute to make sure the girls were um, perky, enough. Nobody wants a droop-boob!

    I'm a C cup, and let's just say the support and staying power wasn't there by the end of the night.

    I'd say that if you are C+ cup that you might need to just get the dress reinforced. That's what I'm thinking about doing, because I'm pretty set on getting a strapless.

    My sister wore them on her wedding day. She didn't have any issues...but she's sagging a bit. However, her's wasn't  made for use as a wedding dress, either. Most of those have better support, so you might have better luck!

    Thanks for all the advice girls! I'm going to try it on with my dress at my next fitting and see how it works :)
