    About this review

    Cindy often wears soft, knit tops, and one day she caught a glimpse of her back in them. Having heard about Shapeez, she ordered three styles to compare. As a full-figured, big-busted woman who hadn't worn a padded bra in years, she started with the minimizer and was immediately happy with how smooth and slim her back looked.

    Next she tried the Ultimate and the Ultimate Pretty, which have padded underwire cups and Shapeez's smooth tank-style back. She was surprised that they shaped her front and middle as well as her back, giving her the lift she wanted under her clothes. She even tested one during an afternoon of yard work and found it comfortable, with straps that never needed adjusting.

    0:00Hi, I'm Cindy Miller, and I have to tell you about a product that I just tried not too long ago, and I have fallen in love with it. My husband has always said I have a big mouth, so here I am using it.

    0:13I often wear these knit-like tops, and one day I got a glimpse of my back. I went, “Oh, I think maybe I should start wearing those Shapeez I've been hearing about.”

    0:25And so, lo and behold, I ended up getting three the first time. I wanted to try different variations of their product.

    0:34The first one I was eager to try on was the minimizer. Being a full-figured woman and being big-breasted, I didn't think I needed help with any padding. I haven't worn padded bras in years.

    0:47So I put this minimizer on. Oh, this is sweet. I tucked the girls in their places, and then I could appreciate what you're seeing now, which is just a very nice, slim back. No bulges.

    1:08So then I was anxious to try on the ones called the Ultimate and the Ultimate Pretty. I have the Ultimate Pretty on now, which has a little more of an embossed—that's not the word—damask-like, silky finish on the cups. But I tried both of them on.

    1:24I was surprised. I was not expecting my front to be altered, or my middle to be altered, as well as my back.

    1:38So what happened when I put the Ultimates on, which are the padded cups, is that I got great shape. And you know how important it is to give the girls lift and shape so that you look attractive in your clothing. So I just have fallen in love with these.

    1:58They have a wonderful compression to them, which is just enough for me to feel put together and comfortable. I don't have to worry about it being too tight. I don't have to worry about it going on or coming off. It works really well.

    2:15The other thing is, I actually wore one of these out in the yard when I was working, to see how it would do. Am I comfortable? I felt a little overdressed for yard work, but I had the best-looking back of everybody else, let me tell you. And I discovered I didn't get any more heated wearing it than I already was from doing yard work.

    2:38The last thing I discovered: I was a couple of days into wearing this, and all of a sudden I realized I am no longer doing this [adjusting her straps]… or this [pulling at her band]. Everything stays put, and it has just been really freeing.

    2:59So because of Shapeez, I am feeling even more confident in the clothes that I choose to wear, but I'm also feeling very feminine and more streamlined, because the “bubbles,” as I call them, have been contained.

    3:16So I just want to encourage you: if you have not yet, get yourself a Shapeez. It is worth the investment. It is a matter of buying confidence. You're not buying a bra. So enjoy, let me know how you like it. Bye!
