I got some for when we were on holiday in Aussie. It meant I could wear backless dresses without my boobs disappearing.
They are pretty good but you shouldn't wear them for more than about 6 hours at a time or your nipples start to get really sore. You also need to be religious about washing them in soapy water after you wear them or they loose their stick and also make your boobs smell YUCK, like sweaty plastic

none of them, but I'd probably ge the fillet things as oposed to the bra thing? I think the bra thing would stick on your skin (like one of my straplesses) and hurt a bit if it gets sticky? pull the skin? ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

Ok, speaking from flat-chested experience, I bought some of the stick on ones, they sucked, got sticky and i hated them. end of story.
However, I got some lovely ones that are just inserts, from farmer.. $19.95 for a pair, and you either choose full cup bigger or half cup, you stick em at the outside edge of the boobs if you want cleavage, or underneath if you want uplift. Just pop them in and lift your own boob up then let it fall and it will fill the right shape. (i went for full cup bigger, cos i'm greedy) I love them, I wear them every time we go out. they work best with those t-shirt bras that already have the rounded foam cup cos it gives a much nicer round shape. Definately if you are going to get some, go into farmers and get theirs, the stick on ones are so not worth the effort, and there are some dodgy ones out there that are material backed that are also crap - the ones ihave are great, soft, warm to your body temp and then just mould to you. they are easy to just wipe down once you are finished and they come in a pouch to keep them nicely stored. *sheesh they should employ me* ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

I have the chicken fillet stick ons (the first one you put on there) and i don't really like them. I feel they drag my boobs down (and im only a B) and also you get all sweaty under them etc.
I really like the wing bra... http://www.trademe.co.nz/Clothing/Womenswear/Accessories/Other/auction-179701555.htm - wing bra I used this for my wedding and it gave great shape and stuck on really well! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I've got an actual bra with the gel in them. Its like the normal push up bra but instead of the padded bit, there is a silicon insert. And it has material covering it so its not sticking to your skin  ------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">

I've got a bra that has slits in it so you can insert the material covered silcon inserts so it just seems like you're wearing a normal bra. I've never tried the ones that stick to your skin- they look like they'd sweat when you get hot ------------- My beautiful 2 girls...nearly 4 and 13 months

I used the chicken fillets before I had M (I've gone up a size since  ) They are very good, my only recommendation is to not jump around too much with them in! I went to Jimmy Barnes, and at the end of the night only had one chicken fillet left!  ------------- http://lilypie.com">
