Admit it ladies..... bra's can be uncomfortable. They are too tight, too loose, the thin straps dig into our shoulders and they can ride up in the back. We are all shaped differently and have different needs. When I was offered the opportunity to review on of the new styles from Spanx, I jumped at the chance.
Description
Let’s be honest: moms are the foundation of the family. Who else is willing to drop everything and help with a last minute school project, leave work early to catch yet another soccer game, or spend an entire afternoon playing make believe. And for all that, moms need a boost! Take care of yourself while you take care of the kids. Spanx has a pletho-bra of new styles that give moms the support they deserve. The Bra-llelujah! Underwire Contour combines comfort with innovative technology. The back fat-busting band and soft cups offer moms soft support.
The Bra-llywood Hills bra. This side-slimming, bust-boosting bra keeps the girls on the straight and narrow, providing the gift of lift this Mother's Day.
The Bra-liminate bra is an ultra-comfortable, super-supportive style engineered with the full-bust in mind. The miracle worker reduces the bust by one inch, so there’s no more shirt slack or button bulge
About Spanx

In addition to keeping butts covered, SPANX also shapes the world by focusing on their mission: To help women feel great about themselves and their potential.
My thoughts
I requested and received the Bra-llelujah Lace Underwire Countour bra in black. Upon first observation, one thing that stood out was the width of the bra straps. WIDE!! Really? This was my first favorite feature. I know my shoulders would be happy not having to worry about those thin straps digging in. The second thing was the band was also wider which meant no funky bulges when your clothes are a bit more form fitting. Third, it is so very soft.. not stiff seams to make your skin itchy and the cups were also soft.
When I put it on, it was ....WOW!! My "girls" were thinking "where have you been all our lives?" This has to be the most comfy bra ever! No stiff elastic, no bunching up, no riding up the back and no visable bra lines. Don't you just hate it when you wear something a bit more form fitting and you see bra lines? This bra gives me the confidence of wearing my fitted clothes without worrying about bulges. And look at the pretty lace detail.
There is one other thing that I find to be (for me) one of the most appealing features that is NOT listed on the website. I, like many ladies out there, tend to be a bit... shall we say... uneven. It's something that really bothers me and I have not found a bra that minimized that until I put this bra on. Spanx, you have a fan for life!!! I've since bought myself another Bra-lleluja bra.
Buy it.
Visit their website and see all they have to offer. The bra I reviewed is only one of the many fine products Spanx has.
