For all my life I have been buying padded bras to prevent show-through; however with most sweaters and shirts and in air conditioned rooms, it still has been a problem. I have even resorted to making a pad out of paper towels or tissues and wearing them under my already padded bra. At work, some of our conference rooms are cold. These bra disks do work and provide a nice, smooth front, even in cold room. At my last meeting, I felt much more confident and able to talk without having to be worried about showing through and having to keep my arms in front of my chest.
I do like the fabric insert in the Fashion Forms Breast Petals better than these discs which are all soft rubber. With normal body heat, the rubber causes the disc to stick to your skin so they stay in place. Even after an hour and a half of vigorous, sweaty exercise, they still stayed in place!
I wear them all day. At the end, it is a little uncomfortable peeling off and unsticking the rubber from your skin but less so than a band-aid. With the cut petals, I worried about ripping them as I pull them off but going around and unsticking them has worked fine. I do enjoy taking the discs off at the end of a 12-hour day and letting everything breathe. I haven't had a problem with a rash or anything. I have worn them five to six days a week for a month now, and I am grateful for them when I put them on before I go to work or wear a more form fitting top. They are also very easy to wash with a little warm water and soap.
I bought two pairs of these, and I appreciate the freedom and increased confidence the discs bring. I look forward to being able to buy a thin, lacy bra (not padded) and to be able to wear it with these discs.
I appreciate everyone's reviews for these which helped me decide to purchase these. These discs are GREAT and I am so glad I found them after all these years.
