    Was going to. Read that they were not very good. Remember that show Oprah had on - - most women are wearing the wrong size bra. Well she was right but it's hard to find anybody that carries a larger size not just a bigger bra. Try womanwithin.com. Have gotten three or four different kinds IN A SIZE THAT FITS and love them. Really makes a difference when it fits. I am very happy with the bras and the company.

    Thanks for the info. Will look at that site and check it out.

    I have a couple of friends who bought them here in Australia and they are sending them back. Said there was no support at all. As I need lots of support I'll stick to the ones I know fit me and support me.(Hestia)
    One friend bought the Aah bra, the other the Genie. Seems they are the same.

    I didn't like the stretchy, no fastener bra made by Spanx so the Ahh bra was never on my radar.

    I used to be an H cup. Real size not the size we often think we are. Now, I wear either a D or C depending on the brand. I still can't find anything that's comfortable. Sometimes I just wear sports bras. That's as close to comfort as it gets. Wide shoulder straps are a necessity. Smooshing them down is a little bit of heaven. lol

    I too have been blessed by the lord above. I had a professional fitting done at a bra store. NOT by a Penney's, Sears, Macy's, Lane Bryant, etc employee. (I had a fitting by them prior to getting the professional fitting and was still not wearing the correct size of bra) Most brick and mortar stores do not carry my size 40G. I was fitted perfectly with a Glamorise bra. I bought one at the bra store, paid too much money but worth it. Tried it out for a week then took the product number off the label on the bra and found them on line for $20 cheaper! I now take care of my bras and when I find them on sale on line, I will purchase 3 -5 of them at a time. Well worth the investment to keep the girls comfortable!

    Thanks for this LOL, bearisgray!

    And thank you all who shared their experience. I will be staying clear of these. I'd love to live bra-less in muu-muus, but then I'd be shy about going up to the mailbox. Alas.

    I wear Glamorise as well. I prefer their sports bras. I haven't purchased an inexpensive bra since I had a fitting 4 years ago.
