Does the Genie Bra really grant a woman's wishes?

There you are minding your own business, flipping channels, when suddenly the Genie Bra infomercial unleashes its magical powers of captivity on you. Don't deny it. You're curious to find out if the Genie Bra is truly the answer to the woman's magical wish of support and comfort. Well, be curious no more as I have taken on the challenge for you and am about to share my experience now thanks to the Wal-Mart check-out line.

First thing I did was give it the wash challenge. After a swim through the washing machine and a tumble in the dryer, I was pleased to see that the bra maintained its shape. (I always despise how the bra bunches and the cups contort themselves all over the place after washing a bra.) The other nice thing about the bra is that there are no hooks to snag or melt (Yes, I've had that happen.)  or impossible straps that get tangled in your other clothing in the wash, resulting in you playing the bra rubix cube game.

Next was the workout test. We all know how it is ladies. You're working out and the girls are bouncing all over inhibiting you from enjoying your workout. While the gentleman may enjoy this, you're about ready to pull out the tape so they stay in place.  Have no fear with this bra though because, while working out, my assets stayed perfectly in place. Only things bouncing were my legs.

The comfort of the bra is fabulous! I honestly didn't feel like I had it on at all. The fact that it has no hooks it great because, when I sit on a chair, nothing is digging into my back. Additionally, the support is better than some of the other bras I own...both wire free and with an under wire. That to me is impressive. Yet, the best part is that it is seamless. I had a tighter shirt on yesterday and you couldn't see the traditional ugly bra outline that you see when you wear a regular bra. Everything looked smooth and flawless, as opposed to a sideshow freak show. 

So how much do these bad girls cost? If you go to a retail store you're looking to shell out $19.88 or $19.99 for a pack of two. The bad news is that the retail stores sell the pack with only the colors Nude and Black in them. At the Genie Bra site, however, you can get traditional white along with an array of other colors and styles. The site offers the purchaser a special buy of "Buy 3 and get 3 Free" for one easy payment of $59.97 plus free shipping or three easy payments of $19.99 plus free shipping. Of course, when you think about it, you aren't getting anything free. You're basically just paying around ten dollars per bra, which in essence still isn't bad considering what bras cost.

The bottom line is that the bras are comfortable and keep you shapely and supported. There are no falling straps or unsightly bra silhouette lines to be seen. I say they are worth the money. They come in shirt sizes XS to 4X which equates to 32A to 48DDD, so they are available to virtually everyone. There is a size chart on the site to help you figure out where you might fall. Make sure you select the proper size or the bra may not work for you.

Overall I give the bra 3 stars out of four.
