Who ever thought they'd be writing a personal statement about their bra?? lol!
I own five Shapeez, love them all and have much gratitude for the product. The compression is a lifesaver and spares me a lot of pain. It keeps wayward ribs where they belong and helps keep me out of a brace. For me, this alone would make them totally worth the price.
Old sports and medical injuries make a step-in bra a must, so I'd been on perpetual hunt for years to keep up with the need for replacements. No mas! Now I have Shapeez.
I read a lot of helpful reviews before ordering and my fit issues were resolved with the speed of light by the Master Fit Expert Herself. Thank you, Staci!
So here are some perspectives you probably won't see in other reviews:
I love the squeak. I keep the squeak. It reminds me of the sound of a new saddle, and brings me fond memories.
In my Shapeez the girls never inadvertently 'dance up' the top-mounted volume control on the guitar. It used to happen when things got to cooking on stage, and it was embarrassing. But no mas!
In an Ultimate I can play and sing through a two hour piano & vocal set. This is unheard of for me. But the compression, support and posture improvement make all the difference.
Wearing an Ultimate I can load, schlepp set up my own equipment and still feel like singing.
I can move hay bales and live to tell about it.
Compression is my friend.
Plus it makes things look good! The fabric makes all my clothing hang better and migrate less when playing.....especially guitar.
And, to repeat, my full back coverage Ultimates are keeping me out of a brace.
Such goodness!
Shapeez! Making life AND music better! : )
