A favorite of many celebrities, including Cameron Diaz, Courtney Cox and Heather Graham, the Sassybax Very Bare Backless Bra was also given a glowing review by Oprah magazine.  With all that praise, we wondered whether we should even bother to test it.

Our smaller busted  examiners were big fans of this bra:

I enjoyed the extra push that the Very Bare bra provided.  I usually don’t expect all that much support from a strapless, backless bra so to get the added cleavage was certainly a bonus.   -Examiner #9

The AA and A cup sizes feature an added push up pad to enhance the figure.  Despite the glowing recommendation from Oprah magazine, the larger busted examiners weren’t as enthusiastic:

I’ve never had much luck with backless bras.  My boobs are heavy and there’s gotta be some serious support to hold them up!  While the Very Bare bra is the most supportive backless bra I’ve ever worn, it still wasn’t enough to provide the kind of support  I was looking for.  I felt like I was constantly pulling it up.  -Examiner #7

We should note that the Very Bare backless bra only goes up to DD cup sizes so our largest examiners weren’t even able to try it out.  All of our examiners agreed that silicon placed at various points throughout the bra were helpful in keeping things in place.  No one complained of any discomfort when removing the adhesive band.  Some did report that the bra quickly lost its effectiveness after only a few wearings.

Billed as the “non-surgical alternative for breast augmentation”, The NU Bra Ultralite is an adhesive free strapless, backless bra designed to fit your natural shape.  It’s only available in AA, A and B, so many of our examiners weren’t able to try it out.  The ones that did, however, had lots to say.  One thing we did find out is that putting the bra on properly is a requirement:
Be sure to lean over when you first put the bra on. Then you’ll fill the cups with your whole breast. Put it on slowly and carefully, and once the cups are in place, clasp the front. You’ll notice a bit of extra push-up from the clasp.  -Examiner #3
Some were impressed with the bra’s ability to stay on:
Be careful if you get sweaty, it might shift, but for me I only felt that a little bit at the very end of the night after a few hours of dancing. -Examiner #3
Others weren’t so impressed:
I felt really sweaty.  The bra didn’t breathe well at all, but it did stay in one place for the most part.  I think the sweat actually helps create a suction for the silicone.  That’s a little gross, but effective I guess.  -Examiner #7
The NU Bra Ultralite is definitely versatile, but works best if your breasts are small and perky.  It will push your breasts up and together to create more attractive cleavage, but it’s designed more to shape than to support.
