Ahh Bra, Launching in the UK

We all know how I feel about the Genie Bra, or the Ahh bra.

And if you don't, here's a picture to sum it up.

Soooo yeah.

Anyhow, it had a pretty good debut in the UK, but why the UK needs them, I don't know.

They make some fabulous lingerie there.

They don't need this nonsense.

WHAT'S GOTTEN INTO YOU PEOPLE?

Reviews give it an average of three stars across the board.

The Miley Cyrus sex doll has the same amount of stars, and we all know how good that is.

The reviews are equally hilarious though.

Wow - these must be designed for smaller busted women. Might as well carry 2 melons around in a pair of support-hose. THAT is how much support the Ahh bra offered me. Maybe support-hose would offer more support than the Ahh Bra did. Also it's hot, no moisture wicking, I sweat in it. Wanted to love it, or even like it, wanted it to live up to it's claims. Bought my mother one & she also mentioned they made her sweat. Unable to recommend this as a product that lives up to it's claims for anyone that's bigger busted. 

Why, that is how I carry my melons, thanks!

Even the five star review said it was only comfortable, but not very supportive.

I like this one though:

might as well wear a rubber band. awful thing to wrestle into and try to wear. ahhh no! it's more of a torture device than a bra. i was hoping this would replace an underwire but it just squashes and mushes your boobs into your body.

I'm gonna pass on the rubber band idea.

Only one person can pull that off.

 So good luck with that, everyone in the UK.

I look forward to your amusingly worded reviews of how awful this bra is.

Why I Personally Don't Trust The Ah Bra or Genie Bra

I've been seeing the commercials for these bras all over the place.
And I have to tell you that I have my doubts about how effective something like this can be.
As someone who is rather large busted, I have found that bras with underwire are the kind of bras that will give you the best kind of lift.
But these bras have no back hooks.
No underwire.
No adjustable straps.
The Genie bra goes by band size exclusively, the Ah bra goes by small-medium-large, which I find largely unspecific in both cases. And what if you have a long torso, and your breasts are a little further down and the straps don't fit quite right, because they're too short? What if you're a large band small cup? The cups will wrinkle!

I guess I understand the idea. It looks like a basic Santoni weave around the band area, with a lighter Santoni weave for the cups, which I could understand for a sports bra. The place where the two different strengths of weaves meet could work similarly to an underwire for a short amount of time, but every day? All day?

I just feel that can't work. And if it does, I feel like it won't work for very long.
I guess I can't knock it till I try it, but I don't feel particularly driven to go buy something I feel won't work.
Also, every ad where you really see the bra, it's usually worn by a smaller girl, and that would obviously work for someone that size.

Any insight on this?
Any readers who own one of these "magic" bras?
EDUCATE ME.
