There is a genie zip up bra, the other bras you just put on over your head, like you would with a sports bra

I am not affiliated in any way with JMS or Platex. I buy all my bras online from JMS , justmysize.com, finally found the perfect bra! Platex Secrets Sensationally Sleek Front Close Underwire. Ultimate side and back smoothing and STAY UP STRAPS! I have a pull on over the head bra - very comfortable when the struggle to get it on is over but not very flattering.

I began buying Genie bras (no zipper) about three years ago. Since that first purchase, I have bought nothing else. I have about ten now.

I saw them first on the Genie infomercial. The first time I saw them in a store was at Bed Bath & Beyond. I bought a package there, and have continued to buy them there. A package of two runs about $20.

When you examine them in the store, be aware that the pads in them come out through a little, neatly made slit.

And I buy one size larger than my blouse size.

I am large busted, yet the Genie gives great support and comfort. They last well----I am still wearing the ones that are three years old.

did not like the Genie bra I bought - too hard to get on and off and I definitely knew I was wearing a bra!

I bought three genie bras and they are wonderful, but mine have no zipper or closure of any kind. They just go on over my head, stay in place, do not bind, rub, pinch, slide, or otherwise annoy me. There have even been a couple nights that I was so tired, that I fell asleep with one on! No problem. I wear a 44DD, and they fit, and no jiggle!

Cecelia363...is the back of this bra 'normal'? No racer or T strap - can't tell from the photos on the jms site. But this looks like my normal - 'go to' style bra that I can not find ANYWHERE! Thank you so much for posting this!

I had ONE over the head bra and it went into the round file! Like wrestling a gator.....I am not a size 2 person, so getting this thing to "slide down" to where it was supposed to be and get the twists out of it made me break out into a sweat..... I buy front close bras from Walmart....not zipper, but hook/eye...4/5, well made, give good shape, and come in lovely colors, and most of all not expensive........

Genie Bra
 
I have bought 2 packages of them,but they do not zip up the front- didn't know they made them that did. tore my rotor cuff and can't raise my arm to get them on now.The ones I have slips on over the head. Where did you buy the zip ones?

I have worn Cameo/Figurette bras since 1971. they look like a nursing bra but they are great and make you look great . no jiggle. I used to fit and sell them. I became way too busy to continue selling plus in order to sell a bra you need to have the correct size which means you need a large inventory. I have a few left. been selling them for $5 each so supply is getting low. But I love these bras.

I wear these, only I step into them and then pull them up.
