I just came back from the factory where the UpBra will be manufactured.  I have to tell you, I have never seen so much precision and detail go into any piece of clothing, let alone a bra.  I was able to road-test the UpBra, and was even happier than the last time we had a prototype to test.  I’m a 36B, and not one to wear underwire, much less a bra as complicated and enhancing as this.  I knew how comfortable it was and how well it worked, but this time around we’ve made it perfect!  By using the slider on the strap, I was able to lift my breasts to new heights and create cleavage I’ve never seen (on me) before!  I wore it most of the day and all evening and never, ever felt the mechanism inside the cups.  I never got sweaty or sticky.  I did, however, got a few appreciative glances.  I think I’m going to like this new  adventure. 

UpBra lifts so well it doesn’t need pads.  It’s 100% you.  Ordinary bras squeeze you in or push you up over the top.  Only UpBra’s unique lifting action lifts UNDERNEATH and AROUND your breast.  so, instead of you having to fit the bra, the bra fits you.

Because your breasts are at their smoothest and least tender the week after your period, it’s the best time to have your gyn check out any unusual lumpiness or swelling. “Your doc will have an easier time diagnosing the problem because it’ll be easier to detect something abnormal”, says Dr. Hutchinson.

“Fluctuating hormones cause your breast tissue to change week by week”, explains Hilda Hutcherson, MD, associate professor of OBGYN at Columbia University.  In the days after your period, breast tissue feels smoothest, thanks to even hormone levels.  Midcycle, your nipples may become more sexually sensitive, due to increased estrogen levels.  Finally, the week before and during your period, extra progesterone may leave your set swollen, bumpy and tender.  Popping an OTC painkiller and cutting back on caffeine can help quell the ache.

 As Cosmopolitan.com points out, about four million breasts aren’t the real thing! About two million women in the US have breast implants, with 250,000 opting for this surgery each year. The average age of a woman who gets implants is 34, and 90% do it after they have kids. “Most women increase two cup sizes”, says Leroy Young, MD, chair of the breast surgery committee of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. No, they’re not always happy with the results: Six percent of women who sport a fake set return for a size adjustment or have them taken out altogether.
Well, you can just about guess what I’m about to tell you…Before taking that drastic measure, give the UpBra a shot.  You can lift a little or a lot, enhancing your look to create cleavage and perceived size.  The UpBra is a wonderful alternative to the permanence of surgery.  And while we haven’t priced it yet, I can promise you it will be less expensive than surgery, too!!  Did I mention comfortable?  Stay tuned, ladies…

“Because they were stretched as you developed, breasts have thinner skin than the rest of your body, leaving them susceptible to dryness”, says Laurie Polis, a dermatologist in NYC.  Keep your pair supple by moisturizing them with a firming cream that stimulates collagen and elastin growth and has UV protection and retinol to prevent wrinkling.
Give them the support they need and the look you want with the UpBra. Please check out the pictures below and see how the UpBra supports and lifts you by way of our exclusive lifting slider on the shoulder straps.  We’d love to hear your feedback…

Your twin peaks weigh less than you think.  The surge in the scale isn’t their fault.  An A-cup clocks in at only a quarter pound; a B-cup is about a half; a C-cup about three-quarters and a D-cup is around one pound.  Whatever they weigh, place them in the UpBra and you’ll love your look!

Thanks to www.cosmopolitan.com, we’ll share with you some suprising facts about your breasts. For all the attention breasts get from men (and the media) you probably know suprising little about yours.  Stick with us and we’ll share a fact a day…Here goes:

Breasts Get Fat.  In your 20s, your boobs are made up of fat, milk glands and collagen - the connective tissue that keeps them firm. “But as you age, the glands and collagen shrink and are replaced by more fat”, Laurie Casas, a plastic surgeon and associate professor of surgery at Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine.  Instead of making your bra size go up, however, the added flab can send breasts down, closer to the floor, if you know what I mean.  Wearing an underwire bra - like the UpBra - whether you’re an A-cup or D can help the fight.
