Thanks for this great video. I also learnt that underwire in bras interferes with your electromagnetic field of energy - in other words disrupts your flow of energy besides being uncomfortable
There is also some research into a possible link between underwire bras and breast cancer. I had two lumpectomies this summer, followed by radiation, and was told to only wear bralettes from now on. They are so darn comfortable. Due to the pandemic I ordered a few cheaper ones from Amazon- 3 for $25. They are great, but might not last forever, so thinking of upgrading.
@@Carolmaizy Yes, I also leaned this from a Yoga Teacher/Naturopath who specializes in treating women with breast cancer and she always tells us - no underwire bras. I still wear regular bra with little padding but def no underwire and I'm noticing they are more available to buy everywhere - but 3 for $25 deal sounds great - I'll check that out - I guess they would just have small/med/large sizes?
OMG I can't believe you're talking about what I've been complaining about for years. Could never find a proper fitting bra. I'm gonna get that Chantelle bra. It's exactly what I need. I hate regular bras especially underwire. Thank you as usual.love🎶🌻
Thanks to you Renee I am now wire free and have encouraged friends to try bralettes also. We don't have a great range in Australia but have discovered a couple that are so comfortable. Thanks for converting me!
I just bought a couple of these a few months ago and I love them so much! So so comfortable! I wear them all the time now and I love how they compliment my figure. Very nice. Great video! 👍
I haven't worn a "bra" for years...I have Rheumatoid and fibro....and my rib cage is probably the worse where there is always pain 24/7.....so loose sports bras or bralettes.....is what I wear.....thank you for hopping on the "bra less" wagon!
I just adore you Renee. I have been wearing the Bralette for quite a while. So comfortable and such pretty colors. Just picked up some on sale, great deal.
You mentioned stepping into it. I've been thinking I had to pull one over my head and I can't because I have problems with my shoulders. I will try stepping into my daughter's and see if I can do it. Thank you!
I wondered about that also. I have a problem with my shouldar so pulling them off over my head was painful. Now i just pull down the straps, push it down and step out of it. No pain!
Thanks Renee- l hear you, l ditched underwire years ago. But, have not fallen on a comfy bra in all my considerable years. I have actually had pain in my chest with some bras until l realised it was the bra constricting my breathing cray cray! Will have to treat myself to a bralette. I know you love comfort and no fuss. Great tips (no pun intended) 😊
I subscribed and I’m with you. I HATE HATE HATE underwire bra’s. Told the hub that I was throwing them all away and bought a few little bralette’s at Wal-Mart three weeks ago. Should have gotten the next size up but they make me have a flatter uni-boob appearance so I’m gonna try the Chantelle. Thanks so much for letting us know! And I love your beautiful curly hair and the natural color. Rock it girlfriend! Mine is not as curly as yours unfortunately but it is whiter. Colored it the day I was forty and quit coloring it about four years ago when I was sixty. It was just too much trouble and it was expensive.
Hahaha, yes I am with you Renee!!! I have always said it had to be a man who created underwire bras! I love bralettes. I have been wearing a True & Co. bralette but have complained about the bottom not having a band! I quit bras years ago too so I get what you are saying completely! I will check out your recommendation. Thank you! I am enjoying your channel and have subscribed!
I’ve been wearing a bralette for several years but I’m going to have try this one. Looks really good. Also I love v neck tees and am always looking for good ones so thank you very much. I’m excited to order them both😁
You look great today Renee! Bralettes are good for some, but not for all. The good ones have a band that does stay put which I like. I am small with a large bust, and the support in these is not there for me. I can wear them for going out or casual wear, but not for everyday busy day or working out....the lack of support is not good. I do have a few of the MadeWell tshirts and they are very well made. They wash well and do not lose their shape.
Thanks for the great tips! I’ve always hated wearing bras too! At the end of the day it’s coming off. I’ve never tried a bralette bra so after watching your video I ordered me a bralette and I’m excited to try it. Take care and Have a good day Renee😊
Oh Betty!! You are going to love it!! But since you have never worn one before....give it a few days to get used to it. It does feel different, but soooo much better!
Hello there from Tn. and so happy to see you and hear you. You are a dear! I am so glad to find you and love the info that you have given us Keep sharing your good work! Love your curls!
You might want to take a look at the Rhonda Shear collection on HSN. They are very similar to what you call bralettes. I think you might like them. Bras are so uncomfortable really enjoyed your video. You said what we all are thinking!!
I love your videos! They leave no stone unturned! All the details you give are so helpful.I'm going to try both products. I love your v-neck T! Im not temp sensitive person, but I find a v-neck, even if it's not a deep v, is so much cooler.
i juat received my chantelle bralettes today... rose and neutral. wearing and super comfortable. couldn't find in xl anywhere except sheila's sheer elegance simpsonville s.c. 2 weeks order to delivery. thank you for this referral!
I know this is an older video, but I ran across your channel by happenstance after watching multiple rescue dog videos (while crying my eyeballs out). This video piqued my curiosity because I, too, hate bras! So I took a chance and ordered one and can I just say...I'm in LOVE!!! Thanks for the suggestion! Clicked on your link to purchase, so I hope they give you credit! P.S. Pollux & Maxxie are the cutest!!
I've got to try this.. I absolutely hate a bra..underwires, the tight binding.. just the whole thing. And you're right Renee.. a man had to have created the bra. Someone who did not wear them had to create them cuz nobody would do that to themselves intentionally.
Renee is like the new and improved Martha Stewart of UA-cam! Love it. 😊 The best thing I ever done was buy bralettes, I get mines from M&S in Britain, they have a cross over bralette and its the comfiest bra ive ever had. Never fall out of it, it holds me in place all day and give the best lift and best of all, it feels like im wearing nothing. I feel bad for the girls who are still wearing those victorian torture devices everyday 😂 Great video renee, thanks for the recommendations, your videos are all brilliant 😊🌷
I have not worn a regular brah for over 3 years now I stopped wearing bras in general for about a year now . Due to an acident I can't wear anything that pushes on my shoulders (bras bags etc) I do wear a sport bra when I'm exercise since we Al know it hurts when the breast bumps up and down but as sooner as I'm done I have to take it off our ouch. Will look up this one since it does looks comfy and cross my fingers that it don't push on my shoulders
Actually.....I find that sports bras put more pressure on my shoulders. They are tighter and made to hold weight for when you are working out. This Chantelle bralette simply feels softer and more equally distributed (if that makes sense).
I have a total of four. I have black, hazel, taupe, and grape. Mine are hookless. They are over the head. I don't know if mine are called bralettes they are like one piece and the whole thing fits like my skin. So far i love them. So far they have not lost their shape.
I was laughing so hard when you were going on about how you are never going to wear a traditional bra again and who invented underwire bra's anyway...I feel the same way. You get to a certain age and the girls are no longer perky as they used to be so it takes more support to get them from drooping which leads to feeling very uncomfortable with tight fitting bands to hold everything up in place. I think the bralette is a good compromise giving just enough support to look good.
Thanks for information. May I suggest you support local department stores instead of A-Z that wants to take over the world and put other stores out of business. ! Thank you. Ebay is a better price, BTW
Thank you this is a great tip. I have lost 80lb and my boobs have disappeared along with the fat. I’m now only a B cup where as I was a double D. These bralet looks comfortable and flattering.
I stopped wearing bras years ago. I have fibromyalgia and wearing bras always made my underarms so sore and tender. I just wear tank tops under my tops. Cheap and comfortable.
I have a similar styles to that love them. Never wearing a traditional bra again. I have large breast these are great!!! They work great. It’s great to be free. Love the tee shirts. We do not have a store here. Going on the site. Thank you for sharing 👋
The BALI 2XL 3488/488 sold at Sam's Club has the soft band at the bottom but it would roll up when I wear it. Nothing to stop the wide fabric band from rolling up.
I wear scoopneck bralettes under v-neck tshirts too. They really look like you're wearing a cami underneath, and heck, if you see a little bit of my bra at least be grateful I'm wearing one! 😁
Me too. It's been 3 to 4 years that I have been wearing bralettes. After a long summer vacation wearing bathing suits and bralettes I just could not wear an underwire bra when I went back to work. My Mom had already switched; I found hers at Marshall's and TJ Maxx. Last year they were $13 for 2. They also have a band, plus removable pads and lace over the front that makes a v-neck top a little more modest for work. They come in 1x, 2x and 3x. I have a small back and would be a DD or DDD cup depending on the band size (I am not huge, it's just I have a small band size measurement). Finding regular bras is a problem for me, and I am an expert at bra fitting (don't add any inches to your band measurement except to round up, like 33 to 34, and every inch difference between bust and band is a cup size, but manufacturers don't always follow along, which makes bra shopping hell, and the stores don't sell small bands and larger cups). Back to the bralettes that I have... The 1x and 2x sizes are good for me. When the bands stretch out I just sew up the sides of the band a bit. The band needs to be tight. If they ride up they are too big, just like a regular bra. I wear them all day and sleep in them too, plus I wear old ones under bathing suits that no longer give me the support I need. The bralettes I found are wonderful for my needs. I'm glad you found ones that suit you. ~~Kitty
@@ahnnette and they are now back to 9.99 for a black and pink 2 pack, go marshalls. Listed under bra, not bralette. Never look back at BRAS. Write me back when you get them.
Hey Renee, Watched this vid ages ago and got the bralette you were talking about. I liked it a lot but, found one I like better & less expensive. Try True & Co bralette, just got one for Christmas & I Love Love Love it !
LOVE LOVE LOVE this video-----i need some clarification, did you say you "step into" the bralette? The number 1 concern of mine with bralettes is wrestling into it....it never occurred to me that I could step into and pull it up from the ground up! If that's the case, I'm sold!
Hey Renee I'm an Italian 37 years old man, I litteraly love your YT channel even though I'm not going grey and I don't wear bras :D The thing is the way you speak up with all honesty about what you like and what you don't about any subject, about your every day life, your dogs and share with us your life is really captivating, very beautiful I almost feel part of your family (it might sound weird maybe I don't know). So yeah, the point is you're doing an amazing job with your YT channel, keep up the good work! Lots of love from Italy ♥
I had bought them but get sweaty around the cleavage. There is no enough gap in between for ventilation. In winter these were found to be comfy but not in summer,that too the Australian summer.
I do wear something like it but I have adjustable straps. How have the straps help up and have you ever wished you could adjust the straps over time if they have stretched out? I like the tee but think it might be a bit low for me. I will look to see if they have then in a crew neck. Thanks!!
Renee, Thank you for this video. I love how you review items with us, because you are very detailed and go over everything. Do you hand wash your bralettes or do you throw them in the washing machine? Dryer or hang dry?
I'm confused by the size chart on the Amazon link. How does that Chantelle size chart help me to know which size to order?? What am I not understanding? Help, Renee!
The size chart on Amazon does not show US inches unfortunately. I didn't realize that when I made the video or I would have included the chart that was attached to my barrette. I have posted the chart on my Instagram page....and can also send directly to you if needed. Simply DM me on Instagram and I'll send the chart. Sorry for the trouble!
I want to wear a bralette so badly, but I wear a 30DDD and I have not found anything. That will work for my size. Even if I find my size. The band rolls up at the bottom because I’m too heavy. The girls art too heavy. I need he XS size but the cups are way too small. It was comical trying it on. Being petite wit h big girls is a bummer, but at least I am happy and healthy
They look so confortable The problem for me was HOW to put them ON and OFF without dislocating your shoulders... I remembered one time I had to cut the sportbra right off me.😐 What’s the trick?
What I dislike about traditional underwire is, you would pay $35-$60 for it and the wire comes out and hurt, you try to sew it back into place which would last for a hot minute, then you trash it, I just went wireless a month ago and I LOVE IT. Oh, wire bras bruise you and leave marks under the breast.
Thanks again for these great tips! I did end up ordering two of the Victoria Secret bralettes, and I love them except for one thing: I don't like that the pads come out in the wash. Do the new ones have removable pads that pop out in the wash?
HI Debbie! The Chantelle bralette pads are not removable so they stay put. They don't come out in the wash. I found the VS bralettes would ride up on me.....I was constantly having to pull them back down which was frustrating. But I'm glad you were able to get some before they were discontinued :)
I hate bras, period but I have to wear something!! I also quit the underwear bras about seven years ago. I will check these out because I do want a bra-let that feels like I have nothing on, lol.
Hello Renee! Just found your YT channel! I would like to purchase the Madewell t’s and the bralette, but not sure what size to get on either one. I wear a 36C . Shirts in petites I wear a PM. I don’t have any t’s to go by what size to get.
Well.....I guess I haven't noticed any issues with sweat. I'm not wearing it when working out or walking my dogs. I wear it when I'm dressed just as I would with a traditional bra. I've had it on all day in fact running errands, tidying up my house to film a video, etc. It's been fine :)
Although I hate having to step into a bra, this one does look very comfortable. I HATE bras, even ones without underwires like I wear. I don't need a bra at all with my tiny boobs, but if I don't wear something, I get nipple burn. LOL! Wait, how are you an XS/S with C-D cup boobs?! I must be an XXXXXS.
I have worn them in the past and got some bad ones, I am going to try this one, I detest bra’s so much, the bralette is easier for me to get on too I have arthritis in arms and shoulders, thanks hun ❣️🆒💟
Is it just me or is figuring out my bralette size on the Amazon site difficult? I normally wear a 36 DD but couldn't find the how to convert that on these bralettes. Someone help me PLEASE. :)
Is the padding enough to hide the "headlights"? I've purchased other bras with thin padding, but it was still way too thin. I just found your channel and love it!
I used to be a 42 triple D and I had a breast reduction after my six kids cuz I didn't need all that anymore I breastfed all of them and I was so much more comfortable after the breast reduction no more big uncomfortable bras with underwires and extra this an extra that to hold everything in place I wear bralettes all the time or even tube tops under some of my t-shirts it's just so much more comfortable I have a lot of issues with my back from having such big breasts and I've had a few injuries on my back so I don't blame anybody for looking for Comfort but you look absolutely beautiful and I wouldn't care what anyone else had to say about it as long as you and God are comfortable with it the rest of the world should be to God bless you
I quit wearing underwire bras close to thirty years ago. I was having so much pain in my right side that I thought my gallbladder or liver was screwed up. Turns out the underwire was putting pressure on my rib and causing the pain. No underwire, no more pain. I have been known to snip the bra and remove the wire. It’s hard to find a good pretty wireless bra. I have some brallettes, but they don’t give great support. I have removed the padding in all the ones that had it because it made my boobs look square and not at all normal. Some of the earlier ones had no separation, so after a minute or two my boobs would squish together in front. My husband calls those my uniboob bras. I may have to give this a try to see if they work better. As much as I love the comfort of the bralette, I still wear a regular bra so my boobs aren’t around my waist when I go out in public.
Haha. When I was young I prided myself that no pencil would stick under my boobs. Now as a Grandmother I pride myself if I don’t pinch one in my waistband.
@ Marguerite Peaden maybe you'd like the just my size by Hanes. No underwire with the front close bra & has cushion straps. They can be ordered online, too. Plus, Walmart has Just My Size by Hanes. I like the front close, easier to put on. They have back close ones, with no underwire, also.
I also have a deep-seated hatred for bras and underwire. I've had bad luck with wireless bras and the band rolling up under my boobs. Does the band roll on this bra?
I dont see a bra size chart like you showed on the tag. It only shows band and cup sizes, so I wouldn't be able to order. I even went to their website and found nothing.
Oh my goodness.....I didn't look closely enough at the picture on Amazon. It's showing everything in cm. If you are on Instagram, send me a DM, and I'll send you back a photo of the tag from my actual bra. I kept the tag just in case anyone asked me questions. Unfortunately, I don't have any way to send it to you through UA-cam.
I do want some lift. Unlike sports bras that squish everything together into one lump, this bralette does provide lift. It also eliminates the "uniboob" look that you get with a sports bra. When I wear the Chantelle bralette, I look like I'm wearing a traditional bra, but I'm not! I still get the lift and shape but with soooooo much more comfort.
I am a 38 C or really a 40, but can't find that sz anywhere. 66 yrs old and ill, but still have class, ok...so I like the feel of bralettes, but 3 styles in, they ALL curl up underneath! That feels as bad as an underwire or worse. So I guess unless I spend $ I don't have on a $180 one, I am stuck w/what I know. At home, which us 90%, they are free and not too low!Not so bad for a sick ol broad! Anybody got suggestions? Peace
You have such a natural ease with the camera
Thank you 😊

Thanks to you Renee I am now wire free and have encouraged friends to try bralettes also. We don't have a great range in Australia but have discovered a couple that are so comfortable. Thanks for converting me!
Oh yay!!!! You're best best may be to simply go to a department store on try on various styles/brands until you find one you love
I just bought a couple of these a few months ago and I love them so much! So so comfortable! I wear them all the time now and I love how they compliment my figure. Very nice. Great video! 👍
That’s fantastic! So glad you love them! Me too 😊
Never heard of a bralette before. These look so comfy and perfect for me and my 36C girls.

Linda Ball - Where did you find It? I've been told it is no longer made or for sale.
Thank you so much for sharing!!! You're so right I hate the old wire bra!! I really want to get the brallete it looks so comfortable.💝💝💝💝💝💝
You mentioned stepping into it. I've been thinking I had to pull one over my head and I can't because I have problems with my shoulders. I will try stepping into my daughter's and see if I can do it. Thank you!

You lady are so darling. Love the curls and as I say, with girls with curls you know what you’re getting, we wear our crazy on the outside.
Olga makes one you can get at Kohls. I love them plus you do not need to pull it on it has hooks
You might want to take a look at the Rhonda Shear collection on HSN. They are very similar
to what you call bralettes. I think you might like them. Bras are so uncomfortable really enjoyed your video. You said what we all are thinking!!
I wear the playtex 4159, no underwire and it's fine. A bralette would be a good option too for a lot of people. I only wear one when I go out.
Ruts on the shoulders from skinny straps. I have been on the hunt and I will try this bra
So glad I could order in Sweden! Yay - ordered two beige bralettes! :)
Yay!!!! Glad you were able to get it!!
I got one and I love it. Mine came from Pennington's.
Girl. Your hair is gorgeous!!!
I love your videos! They leave no stone unturned! All the details you give are so helpful.I'm going to try both products.
I love your v-neck T!
Im not temp sensitive person, but I find a v-neck, even if it's not a deep v, is so much cooler.
Hope you love them as much as I do. I love this v-neck tee because the neck is deep....but not too deep. It's just right!

Girl I love it. Plus the T shirt. Yes!!! Yes!!!
I have been living in those bralettes for years. They are amazing. I get mine from amazon.
Thank you so much for sharing your favorites with us! Blessings 🙏
Thanks for information. May I suggest you support local department stores instead of A-Z that wants to take over the world and put other stores out of business. ! Thank you. Ebay is a better price, BTW
YOU'RE HAIR IS GORGEOUS!!!!!
Thank you Barbara!! 💗
I love my bralette too.. Huge winner !!! I wear a size 40+ bra.. I love my large Bralette.. Great coverage and hold me up perfectly !! TY
Thank you this is a great tip. I have lost 80lb and my boobs have disappeared along with the fat. I’m now only a B cup where as I was a double D. These bralet looks comfortable and flattering.
In the amazon add the black bra on the model looked like it came down much longer than the others. Is there a longer version and a banded one?
I've worn bralettes for years. I could never go back to the wire bras, they are torturous.
I stopped wearing bras years ago. I have fibromyalgia and wearing bras always made my underarms so sore and tender. I just wear tank tops under my tops. Cheap and comfortable.
I have a similar styles to that love them. Never wearing a traditional bra again. I have large breast these are great!!! They work great. It’s great to be free. Love the tee shirts. We do not have a store here. Going on the site. Thank you for sharing 👋

I wear scoopneck bralettes under v-neck tshirts too. They really look like you're wearing a cami underneath, and heck, if you see a little bit of my bra at least be grateful I'm wearing one! 😁
Me too. It's been 3 to 4 years that I have been wearing bralettes. After a long summer vacation wearing bathing suits and bralettes I just could not wear an underwire bra when I went back to work. My Mom had already switched; I found hers at Marshall's and TJ Maxx. Last year they were $13 for 2. They also have a band, plus removable pads and lace over the front that makes a v-neck top a little more modest for work. They come in 1x, 2x and 3x. I have a small back and would be a DD or DDD cup depending on the band size (I am not huge, it's just I have a small band size measurement). Finding regular bras is a problem for me, and I am an expert at bra fitting (don't add any inches to your band measurement except to round up, like 33 to 34, and every inch difference between bust and band is a cup size, but manufacturers don't always follow along, which makes bra shopping hell, and the stores don't sell small bands and larger cups).
Back to the bralettes that I have... The 1x and 2x sizes are good for me. When the bands stretch out I just sew up the sides of the band a bit. The band needs to be tight. If they ride up they are too big, just like a regular bra. I wear them all day and sleep in them too, plus I wear old ones under bathing suits that no longer give me the support I need.
The bralettes I found are wonderful for my needs. I'm glad you found ones that suit you. ~~Kitty
BobbyTheDogUSA and then. I found it!!! HAHA!
@@ahnnette and they are now back to 9.99 for a black and pink 2 pack, go marshalls. Listed under bra, not bralette. Never look back at BRAS. Write me back when you get them.
Started to wear bralette during covid lockdown and I'm hooked but I'm too thin and need adjustable straps.
I feel the same way the wire is so uncomfortable, who thought of that thanks for the info.
Hey Renee, Watched this vid ages ago and got the bralette you were talking about. I liked it a lot but, found one I like better & less expensive. Try True & Co bralette, just got one for Christmas & I Love Love Love it !
LOVE LOVE LOVE this video-----i need some clarification, did you say you "step into" the bralette? The number 1 concern of mine with bralettes is wrestling into it....it never occurred to me that I could step into and pull it up from the ground up! If that's the case, I'm sold!
I've seen them in Sam's Club...very comfortable
Hey Renee I'm an Italian 37 years old man, I litteraly love your YT channel even though I'm not going grey and I don't wear bras :D The thing is the way you speak up with all honesty about what you like and what you don't about any subject, about your every day life, your dogs and share with us your life is really captivating, very beautiful I almost feel part of your family (it might sound weird maybe I don't know). So yeah, the point is you're doing an amazing job with your YT channel, keep up the good work! Lots of love from Italy ♥
Thank you for the kind words! Glad you are enjoying my content....so happy to have you here 💗
Been wearing Jockey brand bralettes that are very similar. Have not seen a Jockey V-neck style. Can buy Jockey at department stores and Target.
Thank you for the tip! Never paid $58 dollars for a bra yet & don't want to! Hoping Jockey is less.
Jockey bralettes are about $28, but I bought mine on sale.
I had bought them but get sweaty around the cleavage. There is no enough gap in between for ventilation. In winter these were found to be comfy but not in summer,that too the Australian summer.
I do wear something like it but I have adjustable straps. How have the straps help up and have you ever wished you could adjust the straps over time if they have stretched out? I like the tee but think it might be a bit low for me. I will look to see if they have then in a crew neck. Thanks!!
I have a ton of bralettes love them especially during very hot weather!
Renee, Thank you for this video. I love how you review items with us, because you are very detailed and go over everything. Do you hand wash your bralettes or do you throw them in the washing machine? Dryer or hang dry?
Same here. I hate traditional bras
I'm confused by the size chart on the Amazon link. How does that Chantelle size chart help me to know which size to order?? What am I not understanding? Help, Renee!
The size chart on Amazon does not show US inches unfortunately. I didn't realize that when I made the video or I would have included the chart that was attached to my barrette. I have posted the chart on my Instagram page....and can also send directly to you if needed. Simply DM me on Instagram and I'll send the chart. Sorry for the trouble!
I want to wear a bralette so badly, but I wear a 30DDD and I have not found anything. That will work for my size. Even if I find my size. The band rolls up at the bottom because I’m too heavy. The girls art too heavy. I need he XS size but the cups are way too small. It was comical trying it on. Being petite wit h big girls is a bummer, but at least I am happy and healthy
This woman is stomp-down gorgeous. Incredible!!
They look so confortable
The problem for me was HOW to put them ON and OFF without dislocating your shoulders...
I remembered one time I had to cut the sportbra right off me.😐
What’s the trick?
I simply step into mine 😊
What I dislike about traditional underwire is, you would pay $35-$60 for it and the wire comes out and hurt, you try to sew it back into place which would last for a hot minute, then you trash it, I just went wireless a month ago and I LOVE IT. Oh, wire bras bruise you and leave marks under the breast.
Thanks again for these great tips! I did end up ordering two of the Victoria Secret bralettes, and I love them except for one thing: I don't like that the pads come out in the wash. Do the new ones have removable pads that pop out in the wash?
HI Debbie! The Chantelle bralette pads are not removable so they stay put. They don't come out in the wash. I found the VS bralettes would ride up on me.....I was constantly having to pull them back down which was frustrating. But I'm glad you were able to get some before they were discontinued :)
I hate bras, period but I have to wear something!! I also quit the underwear bras about seven years ago. I will check these out because I do want a bra-let that feels like I have nothing on, lol.
Hello Renee! Just found your YT channel! I would like to purchase the Madewell t’s and the bralette, but not sure what size to get on either one. I wear a 36C . Shirts in petites I wear a PM. I don’t have any t’s to go by what size to get.
How is it with sweat? I find that all the bras are very uncomfortable once you are out in the heat.
Well.....I guess I haven't noticed any issues with sweat. I'm not wearing it when working out or walking my dogs. I wear it when I'm dressed just as I would with a traditional bra. I've had it on all day in fact running errands, tidying up my house to film a video, etc. It's been fine :)
@@WelcomeToMyCurls what do you wear when working out and walking the cute dogs.
@@cowgirlchelle1 I have various styles of sports bras from Nike and Champion
Although I hate having to step into a bra, this one does look very comfortable. I HATE bras, even ones without underwires like I wear. I don't need a bra at all with my tiny boobs, but if I don't wear something, I get nipple burn. LOL! Wait, how are you an XS/S with C-D cup boobs?! I must be an XXXXXS.
I have worn them in the past and got some bad ones, I am going to try this one, I detest bra’s so much, the bralette is easier for me to get on too I have arthritis in arms and shoulders, thanks hun ❣️🆒💟
You are so welcome! Hope you love it as much as I do. And I step into it....I don't pull it over my head. That may make it easier on your too :)
They are wonderful for a smaller bus..but sadly there is extra support in for ladies over 36DD
Is it just me or is figuring out my bralette size on the Amazon site difficult? I normally wear a 36 DD but couldn't find the how to convert that on these bralettes. Someone help me PLEASE. :)
Your are beautiful and your hair is AMAZING!👀👀👀❤❤❤
These bralette also have a v in the back?
I have trouble with the shoulder straps stretching an sliding off my shoulder, Does the bra you mention have any problems with that?
Is the padding enough to hide the "headlights"? I've purchased other bras with thin padding, but it was still way too thin. I just found your channel and love it!
Hi Donna! LOL....yep! For me, its adequate padding. Thin enough to not be bulky but thick enough to do its job :)
@@WelcomeToMyCurls thank you ! 🙂
I used to be a 42 triple D and I had a breast reduction after my six kids cuz I didn't need all that anymore I breastfed all of them and I was so much more comfortable after the breast reduction no more big uncomfortable bras with underwires and extra this an extra that to hold everything in place I wear bralettes all the time or even tube tops under some of my t-shirts it's just so much more comfortable I have a lot of issues with my back from having such big breasts and I've had a few injuries on my back so I don't blame anybody for looking for Comfort but you look absolutely beautiful and I wouldn't care what anyone else had to say about it as long as you and God are comfortable with it the rest of the world should be to God bless you
Ordered the Bralette...can't wait. How do you wash them? Do the pads have to be removed? Thanks. I too hate a bra!
Hi! The pads are not removable. I wash all of my intimates on the delicate wash cycle with Dreft detergent then hang to dry 💕
I quit wearing underwire bras close to thirty years ago. I was having so much pain in my right side that I thought my gallbladder or liver was screwed up. Turns out the underwire was putting pressure on my rib and causing the pain. No underwire, no more pain. I have been known to snip the bra and remove the wire. It’s hard to find a good pretty wireless bra. I have some brallettes, but they don’t give great support. I have removed the padding in all the ones that had it because it made my boobs look square and not at all normal. Some of the earlier ones had no separation, so after a minute or two my boobs would squish together in front. My husband calls those my uniboob bras. I may have to give this a try to see if they work better. As much as I love the comfort of the bralette, I still wear a regular bra so my boobs aren’t around my waist when I go out in public.
Hi Marguerite! This Chantelle bralette gives me the shape and lift of a traditional bra....and no "uniboob". I think you might enjoy it!
Haha. When I was young I prided myself that no pencil would stick under my boobs. Now as a Grandmother I pride myself if I don’t pinch one in my waistband.
@ Marguerite Peaden maybe you'd like the just my size by Hanes. No underwire with the front close bra & has cushion straps. They can be ordered online, too. Plus, Walmart has Just My Size by Hanes. I like the front close, easier to put on. They have back close ones, with no underwire, also.
Beverly, amen to that.
@@beverlyciufo8888
I hear ya!! 🤣
Thanks you for the info!
Have not worn an underwire in MANY years
I also have a deep-seated hatred for bras and underwire. I've had bad luck with wireless bras and the band rolling up under my boobs. Does the band roll on this bra?
I have curly hair to x
What about us size A girls, is there enough padding? I also was told to stop wearing wired bras after having breast cancer surgery.
I dont see a bra size chart like you showed on the tag. It only shows band and cup sizes, so I wouldn't be able to order. I even went to their website and found nothing.
Oh my goodness.....I didn't look closely enough at the picture on Amazon. It's showing everything in cm. If you are on Instagram, send me a DM, and I'll send you back a photo of the tag from my actual bra. I kept the tag just in case anyone asked me questions. Unfortunately, I don't have any way to send it to you through UA-cam.
I’m sure you don’t need since smaller size , but is it uplifting ?
I do want some lift. Unlike sports bras that squish everything together into one lump, this bralette does provide lift. It also eliminates the "uniboob" look that you get with a sports bra. When I wear the Chantelle bralette, I look like I'm wearing a traditional bra, but I'm not! I still get the lift and shape but with soooooo much more comfort.
Ok, I'm gonna give them a try... thanks Rene!
You're so welcome. Enjoy!
They are unfortunately unavailable on amazon now.
Oh not!!! Surely they will restock soon. Fingers crossed!
Do they come without extra pads?
I don’t think so. The pads are thin...not big and bulky. Just enough to provide discretion and a little roundness in the shape.
@@WelcomeToMyCurls thank you!
I am a 38 C or really a 40, but can't find that sz anywhere. 66 yrs old and ill, but still have class, ok...so I like the feel of bralettes, but 3 styles in, they ALL curl up underneath! That feels as bad as an underwire or worse. So I guess unless I spend $ I don't have on a $180 one, I am stuck w/what I know. At home, which us 90%, they are free and not too low!Not so bad for a sick ol broad! Anybody got suggestions? Peace
Are your curls natural?
Is there one that would fit a 44 ddd
Wonderful
