most bras come of as soon as I walk in the door but I bought some you step into and pull up they are so comfortable you forget you are wearing them,can't think of the name but if you bought a set of 3 you got 3 free

you should try stepping into it and pulling it up it is much easier then trying to get it over your head.

well, I know someone that bought some and she loved them...at first.
I don't know if you are supposed to hand wash them, but she said her's
wouldn't support after washing, so i've never bought one.

From my experience, hand washing is not necessary for the Genie (non-zipper) bra. ! I wash mine in the machine in cold water, and dry in the dryer with a Delicate setting. Mine last a very long time----my oldest is about three

For almost fifty years I have worn Bali underwire bras exclusively (until I found the Genie). Like some others, I put mine on by pulling it up from my feet rather than over my head. But that's just me.


Really, bra fit and comfort is personal to the wearer. We differ in the brands and types we prefer, because our bodies are different. If you find a bra to suit you, whatever the brand or type, you have done a good thing!

Bras and fitting them is so individual. Love my Wacoals.

What I'm wondering is, those of you that are happy with the Genie's,
are you "big" women?

You're right on Lane Bryant. Their best selling bra is a life saver for my bad back - hardly know I have it on.
