Sit tight because this is going to be a long one.
I have a 16E chest and so bras, clothes and my back have always been a huge problem. Growing up I never got to wear anything cute like my friends because I just could not shop at the same stores. I would have to open buttons on every shirt I wore. Cut tops to make space for my gigantic chest and even layer terrible tops under other tops so I did not show everyone my private parts. My fashion choices are incredibly limited and it boils down to not wanting to expose my bras in absolutely everything I wear.
Buying bras is and always will be a horrible experience for me. They are always so expensive. They are lacy which is not something I'm comfortable showing on a daily basis and the lace shows under lighter clothes anyway and makes it look lumpy. I definitely went through a phase in my 20's where I wore my bra and a sports bra but when I look back at pictures it was so tacky.
Everything I buy is based on what I have to buy not what I would like to wear. And it has been like this since I was 10 years old.
I live in Melbourne and came across the peekabras store in December and was so intrigued about the idea. I really did not get it at first and I think that is because the idea of being able to change my bra colour to look like something I see in stores that I could absolutely never wear was not registering. I think it was the years of total disappointment and the fact that bras have always sucked for me so I really thought this would not be something I could use.
I WAS SO WRONG! EVERYTHING I EVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH IS SOLVED.
Sorry for the caps locks. I was not sure how else to show the impact this product has had on my life.
For starters, I am comfortable in my clothes now. I use to play around and shift my shirts to double check that nothing is showing. I would estimate that I did this every minute or so. It is no longer on my mind. If anything shows then it is a beautiful undergarment that resembles all the cute crop tops and bralettes I could not or would not wear.
Next would be the simplicity of ordering more and not having to get fitted for more bras. I just cannot justify spending $120 plus dollars to buy another bra that will sit in my drawer. All of this hassle is gone. It's probably the most interesting and helpful part of this product for me.
The price is a total win for me. Anything cute for under $40 is lacking so much support. My chest would hit me in the face. The bra itself is comfortable and supportive but the option to change its colour offering the exact same support I need IS CRAZY GENIUS. More caps locks I know but I am floored someone has not thought of this sooner.
I recommend Peekabras TO EVERYONE. It is genius. And they have a recycling program which I just learned about. Not to mention staff were so friendly.
I will never ever waste my time and money on another bra company EVER AGAIN. So a huge thank you team at peekabras. You are doing amazing work for big chested woman like me.
