Give "the girls" a lift without surgery

Give "the girls" a lift without surgery

I pretty much have everything I could ask for… A wonderful family, a beautiful home, a job I love, I could go on and on. But with that said, there are two things that would really make my life complete: An alpaca or two (or three) and not having to wear a bra—ever. The livestock may have to wait until I have room for them to roam, but better boobies after having a baby and losing 80 pounds since delivering this aforementioned child are more within reach. Breast lift surgery isn’t on the table at the moment, but I discovered a little hack that helps me skip the bra when wearing a slinky top (or when it’s just not completely necessary)—Bare Lifts.

I don’t usually buy random products that pop up on my Instagram feed, but when I saw these I couldn’t resist. They’re basically stickers that hold your boobs up in a higher position, which is exactly what I want (and need). They have lines so you can trim them to fit your cup size (up to a D), then you position the lower section of adhesive over your nipple, lift your breast and use the upper section of adhesive to hold it in place. They definitely get the job done, but there are a few downsides. They tend to pucker (because that extra skin has nowhere else to go), and I’m always a little paranoid that they’re going to unstick at an inopportune time—but they’re awesome when I’m wearing a flowy top or dress and can’t be bothered with undergarments.

And at $4.95 for 10 “lifts,” they’re a heck of a lot cheaper than breast lift surgery, which helps me save money for my future alpaca family.
