Ginch Gab: The Nu Bra

I discuss underwear frequently because the reality is, foundation garments are very important.

So, I'd like to share with you, the Nu Bra. You've probably seen this item in lingerie shops and thought it looked pretty weird. You're correct. The Nu Bra consists of two silicone cups that stick to your body and clip together between "the girls".

The Nu Bra is marketed as a bra-less alternative but unless you're completely flat chested, I wouldn't recommend sporting these on their own. They are great for many other applications though:

• use instead of a strapless bra in a fitted, strapless dress (bra under wire often shows through a dress, especially if it's white i.e. bridal)
• use inside your bra for a little extra. The Nu Bra silicone looks and feels natural unlike foamy padding
• stick inside the cups of your sun-dress if you're not quite filling it out. Again the padding looks like the real deal.

They are a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. The knock-offs are not as well-formed and durable. Yes the bra actually does stick to your skin, you just need to wash the cups after every use.
