I keep seeing these advertised on Facebook and can't work out if they are a con. Has anyone bought one?

I keep putting them in my basket and then not buying them because they just sound too good to be true!
I hope someone comes along who's bought one.

Hmmm must stuff advertising on FB are scam sites so be careful. Have you looked on Trust pilot?

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 11/08/2023 08:22

Looks like a scam sites to me and a quick Google and trust pilot review says he same.

Marks and Spencer Flexifit bra is what you need for £20.

Typos 🙄

@MrsPelligrinoPetrichor I was about to say they don't do it in my size but they do! Thank you so much - I've ordered 2 so fingers crossed they fit. I like the option to cross the straps at the back because it takes the weight (😑) off my shoulders. Thank you for the recommendation .

They're great, hope you get on ok, at least with M and S you can just send them back and get a refund of they don't fit.

@torwen oh so they do actually arrive if you order one? Side spillage isn't really the look I'm aiming for so fingers crossed m&s comes good!

Hi @Forgoodnesssakejustletme - did yours arrive/were they ok?

Forgoodnesssakejustletme · 10/09/2023 10:35

@Chenford they did and they are really comfortable however they don't do a brilliant job of keeping my breasts separated so I got a bit hot in between (tmi!) during this heatwave in the UK. They don't give huge uplift so better for looser tops but enough that i don't feel embarrassed going out in them. I have worn them under an open linen shirt which looked nice. Thanks to @MrsPelligrinoPetrichor for the recommendation.

Thanks @Forgoodnesssakejustletme - glad they arrived ok.

What’s the support like? I am pretty large of nork but really prefer non wired bras; finding something remotely supportive is like finding the Holy Grail. 🙄🤣

Forgoodnesssakejustletme · 10/09/2023 10:44

@Chenford they have a band of supportive material which slings under your breasts to give a bit of lift. They are definitely off my ribcage but not like the shape an underwire gives me. I'm a 34g. They are the cheapest bra I have bought so worth a try.

OP posts:
Chenford · 10/09/2023 10:45

Thanks again! @Forgoodnesssakejustletme I think you’ve convinced me to give them a go.

Rollerbird · 10/09/2023 20:42

I've had some (new) cheaper on eBay @Chenford

Forgoodnesssakejustletme · 10/09/2023 21:36

@Rollerbird the m&s ones?

OP posts:
Forgoodnesssakejustletme · 10/09/2023 21:37

@Chenford let me know how you get on 😊

I ordered an Alora bra back on August 17th and the order finally arrived today (yes, 6 weeks later!!!). Needless to say, the bra does not fit well so I inquired about making a return. I was just notified that the only way to return an item is to ship back to their warehouse in CHINA at my own expense!! They do not offer a shipping label nor will the reimburse the shipping expense. I am very upset - I should have known this company was a scam. 😐

Mirabai · 28/09/2023 22:29

It doesn’t cost as much as you’d think to return to China. Make sure you use an international tracked though.

Amazon have a selection of bras that look like Alora ones. I don’t get on with M&S flexifit personally.

Forgoodnesssakejustletme · 30/09/2023 20:59

@Kittymomof7 oh god how annoying. How did you pay? I bought an elaborate chopping board with a waste bin attached - fab. A plastic board was received 😐. I reported to PayPal and rhey refunded me. Could you try that?

OP posts:
Forgoodnesssakejustletme · 30/09/2023 21:00

@Chenford did you try one in the end?

OP posts:
FictionalCharacter · 01/10/2023 19:01

That sounded really good so I ordered one. They sent a wired one 🤦‍♀️

Rollerbird · 01/10/2023 19:31

Oh no!! @FictionalCharacter
You should get a refund and a new one sent
