Has anyone seen this? I assume it's for workout purposes....but why?

http://www.lululemon.com/products/womens/tops /bras/boob_booster

Wouldn't a sports bra be effective with the boosting thing?

Just curious.

what the....?

i really wish they showed a picture of someone wearing one, cause i don't get it!

Apparently it's a "mini-bra" to accompany people who wear low-moderate support tank-tops instead of exercise bras.

So I guess really flat girls who want more support than a tank top, but without feeling all strapped in to a sports bra, can put this on (over the tank top, for some reason), and voila.

I can imagine it's an incredily silly fashion statement. I think I would have a hard time not staring if someone wore a brightly colored half-bra on the outside of their clothes.

I think this is quite misleading to the people dumb enough to purchase it for added support during workouts ... seen a commercial on the spanish channel that offered a similar item but it was for giving you more cleavage and lifting boobs if they sag in tops. I have to wonder if this is the same kinda thing but just preying on people that are not that bright.Undecided

You use it with your normal bra on, so the strap this thing have pushes the girls up...it's really uncomfortable according to my old gym class teacher LOL

And I don't think it really works.

This has been a reallllly bad day.

No offense, but... opening this thread and seeing your subject line title above your matching avatar photo was the smile I needed.

Thanks!

Thank YOU!!

Ladies,

 

this has to be the funniest thing I've seen all week!

I am totally convinced it was invented by a man.

I can't imagine a woman would ever think this was a good idea.

 

my boobs are in the front of my body...not the sides...I always thought that was a GOOD thing...

I don't get that thing at all? is it to push them together more?  having great cleavage isn't something I think about while working out...

 

I'll tell ya what got me was the first bit it says on the site:

Have the girls ever felt flat and lifeless in their sport tanks?

WTF!?  So having small breasts is not relegated to being lifeless?  Oh for god's sake!  I am so sick of advertisers preying on the self-esteem of women.  And anyway, if you need a pushup bra to do yoga in you probably aren't doing it right. 

Stupid.  Really stupid.  Don't any of you women listen to that crap about how your breasts aren't "right."  Its bs designed to sell you stuff.  I just wear my tank tops to do yoga in.  Yea, it pisses me off when I think about who probably wrote that; some 20's-something guy fresh outta advertising school wearing a suit and his hair all greased back in a car he can't really afford trying desperately to impress the execs at his firm by whatever means necessary. 

I agree with Bill Hick's stance on advertising
