Another day, another mini-review! I can imagine that you were surprised to see my smiling face on these recent posts, since you never usually see me. A change can be nice.
Today I tried the Bali Concealers Comfort-U Back and was very pleased. When I started getting dressed, I tried to pick the most low-cut bra I had from Bali, since I like to leave a couple of buttons undone at the top of my blouses to balance out my somewhat low and heavy breasts. I'm not a fan of high necks, but that means I have to be careful what bras I buy. They can't be too high-cut, or they will show, but if they are too "demi style," then they will give me a quadraboob. Yikes!
In other words, I am picky. I thought twice about wearing the Concealers bra because when it's on a hanger, it certainly looks full coverage. I tried it on for the heck of it, and I found that the cups cut down low enough that I can wear my Evans London blouse. The bra has an extremely soft hand, and it has those micro-finished seams that don't leave lines under your clothes.
Before I took my "happy bra" picture, I walked around and gave this bra a good run-through. I wouldn't be surprised if some people thought that concept of a Comfort-U bra was gimmicky, but I could actually feel the difference in this particular bra (not as much in the wirefree). Basically, the back dips down low enough so that it doesn't squeeze the fat under the back of your arms and on your sides. It has an intuitive cut that I found comfortable as someone with wide shoulders and what I suppose is called a "swimmer's back."
The Bali Concealers Bra is available for $34, up to 42DD. This has been my favorite bra so far in the challenge, and I will be wearing it again.

The very first thing I check on a bra is the width of the straps. These are too narrow for my taste. It also has wires. When I wore Bali’s (in a 38C) I found they just didn’t do as good a job of support. A smarter buddy told me to look for wide straps. That did the trick for me. Nehmah
I believe it was in my first review that I mentioned that I like slim straps. I like to sport slimmer straps because it feels like I am wearing a cuter bra!
I have a quality bra (not from Bali) that provides insane uplift and has skinny straps, so I know that strap thickness is only part of it. I think that Bali provides a happy medium for most people.
