    Question Ahh/Genie Bra?

    Hi gals

    I keep seeing these retched things on telle and am super curious as to whether they're really legit... I.e. is a knitted bra that looks super thing really going to support my double-ds? And grow with me during pregnancy?

    Has anyone tried these? I'd be really grateful for any feedback? :-)

    Thanks!

    I haven't personally tried them but definitely interested in the replies. I'm also a DD-E cup and expecting to get a lot bigger

    Nah I've been told they are no good. Once you wear them for a while they stretch and don't give you much support.

    I hear from a few of the breast cancer ladies that they are pretty comfy but not much in the way of support.

    I have a very similar one but it's a maternity bra. It's knitted in the exact same way but it has the clips for the cup to drop down to feed. I like it to sleep in I wouldn't leave the house with it on it really doesn't give the support I'd like for my E/F cups. Also the sizing is a bit dodgy, they size them the same way, when they say buy it the same as your top size, well I'm not sold on that concept either. I got my top size and probably needed one size up. It's sometimes feels a little tight on the shoulders and pinchy around the ribs/under boobs where it creeps up a bit.

    Don't buy them if you need support. They are crap. I am a 14dd and got the large and they donot support and shape at all. I was so disappointed. I do wear them over the top of a bra if I have a low cut shirt on but really its like a crop top.

    The brand I got was the genie bra from the infomercial

    Ha! Thought as much. Thanks ladies.

    I couldn't understand how such a flimsy little thing could support anyone let alone a larger cup size.

    Thanks so much for the feedback. Really really valuable.

    My Mum got a couple from Big W (Ahhh bras I think??) and she absolutely LOVES hers. She reckons it shapes and supports really well. She's a D/DD.

    Agree but to be honest my mum prefers to wear her girls at a lower setting than I do... So I think that's why they like it! Support means different things to each generation! I want perky mum wants not touching her belly

    I've got the Ahh Bra and TBH I'm finding it great for preg. You don't get much support from one, but if you double them up like they suggest in the add you get GREAT support and lift - better than a sports bra. For me it's so much comfier than a maternity bra and they keep me looking a bit more perkier iykwim. I'm normally a 12C but in pregnancy a 12E. HTH
