Bra Baby

50 PROBLEM SOLVERS UNDER $50

I never thought I’d be listing a Sky Mall product, but I got an email from Marielle Vena who says:

“I wore a 36C in the eighth grade and know a little something about bras – mostly that I hate ‘delicates day.’ I have been a slave to hand-washing my unmentionables ever since I discovered that those care tags mean business and ignoring their warnings was going to leave me destitute. I still have to hand wash a few things, but as far as most underwire bras are concerned, this product has been the biggest time-saver in my life. I love it! Try the two-pack and I swear you will have six or eight in no time.”
