Let me start by saying I was skeptical about this adhesive bra at first. As someone who's tried multiple sticky bras over the years (with mixed results), I approached this one with cautious optimism.

The first thing I noticed was how surprisingly comfortable it felt when properly applied. The silicone material is soft against the skin, and the front clasp design is genuinely innovative - no more awkward reaching behind your back trying to fasten anything. It gave me a nice rounded shape under my favorite backless cocktail dress, creating that perfect deep V cleavage without being overly revealing.

However, I did experience some of the issues other reviewers mentioned. The adhesive doesn't extend all the way to the edges, which caused some annoying peeling throughout the night. When I raised my arms to dance, I could feel one side starting to lift - not exactly ideal when you're trying to enjoy a night out. And yes, removing it was slightly painful; it's definitely a 'slow and steady' removal process.

The sizing is tricky too. As a 34D, I initially ordered my usual size but found them comically large. After sizing down, they fit much better but still didn't provide any real lift - just shaping and coverage. The included nipple covers were a nice bonus though!

For occasional use with certain outfits (backless dresses, halter tops), these do the job well enough for the price. But if you're looking for all-day security or plan to sweat significantly, you might want to keep looking or bring backup fashion tape.
