OMG! NuBra?

I am looking at an advertisement at the top of my page for something called NuBra.  The model looks weird.  Nobody's boobs should look like that, not even in a comic book.  Has anybody actually tried this thing?

I have not tried it, nor had I ever heard of it, so I had to check it out on Amazon.  Some women love it, say it's great for backless/strapless dresses.  Others say the adhesive doesn't last, and that it fell off when they sweat with it on!  I like the concept, but I wouldn't like the feeling of essentially being glued into a bra.

I used a NuBra product under my wedding dress. I believe it was the NuBra UltraLight or Feather Light or something like that, not the original. Mine had a fabric covering as opposed to being entirely silicone/plastic like the original, but was basically the same thing - stick on cups connected by a clip. 

I liked it. I thought it worked well and looked nice. I don't know what ad you're seeing, but my boobs looked fine. I didn't have an adhesive issue, but I also didn't wear it more than a couple times. I believe they do have a limited life span of 25 or 50 uses because the adhesive would wear out. I wouldn't recommend it for a larger-breasted person. I was on the small side of a C at the time. I didn't wear it more because I don't have very many chances to dress up in the type of outfit that would require such a bra. Basically only formal outfits, which I only wear maybe once a year. I also now have larger breasts, so I got rid of it a year or so ago.

Nobody's boobs should look like this!  I feel sorry for the model.  I wouldn't have noticed if the advertisement was not persistently across the top of my Knot page.

Mine looked very similar to that except it was nude, not pink. I definitely wore the cups more under and on my breasts (like a regular bra) rather than sort of just on the front of them the way many of the models do.

I've used it! It's not, for me as a lady abundantly naturally blessed of bosom, as effective as a normal bra, but under a dress with some structure to it works pretty well.

What's the point of a bra the sits on top?  Is it just a bad marketing photo?

I was wondering that too. I'm thinking it was just for the photo and, similar to how models in a runway show often have to wear shoes that don't fit, they didn't care that the cups were too small for this model?

The bra, as are most strapless bras in my experience, mostly there to shape the girls and hold them together/give cleavage. They don't really offer anything in the way of lift. This bra was no exception. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who wants their breasts held up.

I think the bra in that advertisement was just meant to create cleavage, which it appears to be doing well. Most of the bras on that site at a glance do not sit on the chest but are fully attached to just the breast tissue, I guess the larger your chest the more obvious that would be.

I bought it for my wedding dress too.  It didn't help with the cleavage in the wedding dress but helps in some tops. It certainty didn't look like the picture either!
