Point blank: I have always hatedbra shopping.

Okay, not always.
And man, did I feel like hot stuff!
It all began back in high school, while bra shopping with my BFF.

The sales woman told me that my 34B breasts were “lemon boobs.”
As a result, I stocked my drawers with super comfortable bralettes and embraced my relatively boob-less reality.
And for me, there is something about bra shopping that is inherently confidence reducing.
There is nothing worse than feeling like you dont fit the shape of whats considered to be ideal beauty.
And while on my bra-venture, I learned that balconette bras are here to solve this very issue.
As soon as I tried on this B.Temptd bra, I fell in love.
The foam-lined, underwire cups offer just enough support and nipple concealment to give my 34Bs lift.
And up until finding this bra, my experience with push-ups was pretty limited.
By happy hour, it was super apparent how un-endowed I ambut this bra changed that.
Its also one of the most natural-feeling push-ups Ive ever tried.
I hate bras that feel super stiff.
It’s obvious why this particular style is a customer fave at Victoria’s Secret.
Seriously, Ive never seen a strictly lace bra pull off this sort of sorcery.
It’s got no padding or underwire.
All throughout the store you’re able to see theun-retouched advertising.
I dig your brand morals.
While my nips weren’t technically free, they sure felt like it.
I wear them to work, to the gym, and even out on the town.
