Has anyone tried these ? I'm away to order one but the discrepancies in sizes between sites has confused me ! One site said I was L the other said I was xxxxL !

I sent for a couple and they're actually pretty good. I can't remember what size I ordered though, and there's no label on them. I'd say go for a bigger size than you would normally, as they are quite difficult to get on and off. Once you get them on, they're very comfortable.

I don’t think they’re for me.
I have enough wobbly bits to tuck into my under-garments these days.
They sound comfortable ‘though as long as the jelly is not too well set!

I've never heard of them, but am always interested in a comfortable bra. I wear stretch ones in the house, but need more support if I'm going to be seen in public😉

Do jelly ones offer any sort of uplift?

The ones I got certainly do - the 'puppies' have a much higher outlook on life now! grin

Where did you get them, if you don't mind my asking?

I saw them advertised online - think it was from a place called ShapeChic?

Am I the only one who didn’t know what a jelly bra is?
Had to look it up.
Was imagining all manner of things.

Having looked it up I think I will stick with my total support wireless bra from M&S.

Thank you. They are available on Amazon. I'm away just now, but will order one when I get home. I'm sick of wires.

Likewise. Curiosity got the better of me - just don't ask me, as a male, what I imagined they were 😯

Have you tried them? Because I can assure you the ones I bought are very supportive - and I'm a big-bosomed lass!

I think I will stick with the ones I buy in bravissimo. I know what size from there fits me

Are jelly bras anything to do with chicken fillets?

No - they're made of a really smooth material and instead of having foam-type padding on the cups, it's a kind of jelly filling, if that makes sense.

It reminds of a ditty my mum used to say if there was someone dressed à la Barbara Windsor in her Carry On days.

Jelly on the plate,
Jelly on the plate.
Wibble wobble,

I think you can eat one of them but not the other Magenta

Well I've ordered one based on positive comments here. Suspiciously cheap though buy one get one free. Oh well. Time will tell.
