to ask about your experience with so called jelly bras.

Hi, I’ve seen a brand that sells them, named Sculpt.
However they are a South African brand only as far as I know.

Trustpilot show favourable reviews, but being the sceptical person I am, I wanted to obtain any mumsnetter opinions to help me arrive at a decision.

Im aware that they are expensive, tho’ the Sculpt site offers a lower price if two or three are purchased.

So, I hope you ladies can offer me your thoughts.

Thank you 🙏🏻

I am also interested in this. I've been wearing jelly bras for basically the last 5 years - the Momcozy pregnancy/nursing ones - and they are fantastic! I'm totally converted.

But now I'm about to wean my last baby and want to move on to a non-BF jelly bra... So I'm hoping some MNers will be along with recommendations!

I bought a cheap one from Temu just to see how comfortable they are before I committed. About 5 quid I think it was. I am a 38/40dd/e cup and ordered the 2XL.
Perfect fit, very, very comfortable and has the removable light padding so you can't see nipples but still have the lift.
The only problem, which applies to all non-wired bras, is that there is no separation so you can end up with a uniboob and sweaty cleavage although not quite as bad a some others I have tried.

Uniboob and the sweating cleavage sounds like a 70s punk band.
As you were ...

I have a few cheap ones from Shein, they're all great and I love them comfy to wear and brings my massive boobs up from my knees. I wear a XXXL one.

I've got to check these out now!!

I have bought a conturve one. I like it. I have so many bras I thought I would make sure I would stick with type before I went all in.
im an older person so I’m never going to get the lift and shape I used to but it’s a very comfortable bra. If I want to wear fitted clothes I would have to wear my Freya underwired ones that lift and separate but are uncomfortable as my older softer skin protests!
it’s like most things in life, there is a compromise to be made. Saying that, I will buy more, the comfort they provide is a big tick for me.

Brought cheapie off amazon and I was impressed with the support amd shape without wire.

Have a conturve bra though not jelly bra. It gives nice shape and lift but find the bit fabric over top of it makes me sweaty.

Carockin · 08/11/2026 23:54

I’ve had a few Conturve ones too. They’re not as amazing as they come across on the adverts, but they’re very comfortable and do a reasonable job. I wish they had more sizes - I seem to be on the cusp of L and XL. They also feel like they will stretch after a few months.
Avoid the MissMuse company, their customer service was awful. I think all the jelly bras are the same with a different company’s name on them.

I have never heard of these!

genuineflexor · 09/11/2026 01:39

Monoboob, gave me an underboob sweat/rub rash, no support and boob spillage over the top (although it’s the right size).
Straight back to usual bras which are much more comfortable.

Very comfy but come up big. I really like my madam muse one but I need to order it a size down the back band is v v stretchy.

Hiiiiiii 👋

thanks for the responses so far.
No I hadn’t heard of jelly bras before this week either, so according to the hype, I’ve been living under a rock🤣

Ive looked at various images, and I think the Sculpt ones offer a style that looks as tho it separates as well as lifts.

Like a pp above, I too am past retirement age, so it’s difficult to judge, seeing as the models are all pretty young.
Makes me wonder if there aren’t any mature ladies willing to demonstrate the difference it makes to their shape up top.
it would give more confidence to women of a certain age to give the bras a try, if they used a wider age group of models.

Thanks again

They’re all the same. They’re made by the same company then the smaller companies stamp their brand on them.
I tried going down a size, but the back band gets thinner, which is not so comfortable. And it was still quite big, felt like it would get baggy too.
And I wouldn’t touch Madame Muse with a barge pole. Their return policy is dreadful.
