00:00It's Emily here.
00:01Today I have three bra tips that we are going to test out on set for you.
00:05It's going to be un-bra-lievable.
00:08So bra-some.
00:09So I am here with my friend, Laura, Hannah, Courtney, so we're going to test out some
00:13fun tips and tricks for you to try.
00:15The first trick is going to come from these guys.
00:18Handy dandy things you find in your drawer trusty old safety pins.
00:23You take the pin and take your two sides of your straps, put them together in the back
00:29and pin them together so it becomes more of a V-shaped in the back.
00:34It pulls up on the sides, so it gives you that little extra cleavage.
00:37Well, I've never had cleavage before, but if this pin trick will do it, then it's literally
00:42the trick of all trades.
00:44I don't think something that weighs this amount is going to hold up my chest.
00:50I just don't think that that's going to be possible.
00:52So we pinned it in the back here.
00:54It feels like I just got a boob job.
00:56Look at you, like, cheesing over here.
00:58I'm glowing.
00:59The reason I don't like wearing bras with straps as much is because I feel like throughout
01:05the day the straps just get really loose and they fall down and I don't feel as much of
01:11a support from my bra, but this, it's like turbo tightening my bra straps.
01:15It didn't give me cleavage per se, but, like, definitely a little more, like...
01:21Yay to the safety pin or nay to the safety pin?
01:23Yay to the safety pin.
01:25Yay on the safety pins.
01:26Yay on the safety pins.
01:27So this next tip is to be just an added layer of support.
01:30So if you're wearing a strapless bra, you can use one of your straps to kind of circle
01:35around because we all need that little extra support, that little 3 p.m. pick-me-up.
01:40That's insane.
01:41That's not a thing.
01:44So this one's not working for us.
01:46So Laura, tell me what's happened.
01:47The top part of the bra is actually folding down, so I'm actually not even, like, I'm
01:54not safe for work right now.
01:55That's what this is.
01:56Um, I think it would definitely help it from falling down.
01:59It's a little snug.
02:00Um, but yeah, no, it is a lot of added support.
02:03If I'm down.
02:04I'm afraid I'm about to have a nip slip.
02:05Like, seriously.
02:06It's the worst thing when you're in the middle of, like, talking to somebody at a party,
02:11and you're like, like, gotta tug it up.
02:13So I think I would definitely use this.
02:14That's so true.
02:15The awkward tug.
02:15Yeah, you're, like, trying to be, like, coy.
02:18Like, it's like popping your collar.
02:19Yeah, right.
02:21Maybe someone with smaller, smaller boobs can do this.
02:25Not me.
02:26That's okay, though.
02:27Next we have these blister pads that you can use to tape down to your bra straps to avoid
02:33lines or, like, painful straps from wearing them all day.
02:35So what you do is you can peel and stick, put the sticky side against your bra, and then
02:41the soft, squishy side, wherever it, like, really digs in the most.
02:45What do you think?
02:46It adds extra, especially on, like, closer to my shoulder bone area.
02:50Mm-hmm.
02:50I think it's a little bulky, so I think you have to be careful.
02:52It is a little bulky also.
02:53Final words on the blister pads as bra straps.
02:57Is it a yay or nay for you?
02:58It's a yay for someone with big boobs.
03:00You're not, okay, okay.
03:01As I was gonna say, you're not convinced.
03:02Yeah.
03:03That was good.
03:04Yeah.
03:04Cool.
03:05Not convinced on this one.
03:06Already feeling the relief.
03:08Ooh.
03:09Just you doing that right there makes it feel a lot better.
03:13Yay!
03:13Cool!
03:14Approve.
03:15Approve.
03:16Forever.
03:16Approve.
03:17So, Laura, of all three of them, which one do you give the absolute thumbs up?
03:21I'm using this in my daily life, and which one are you like, no way?
03:25I would definitely probably rank them number one, the wrap around strap, number two, the
03:30pin in the back, and number three, the blister pads.
03:34The one that I'm super no, no, no is the strap around the boobs, and then the one that
03:43I thumbs up is actually the really cute pads that you can put underneath your straps.
03:48My big takeaway from today is that every body is different, and every body is beautiful,
03:53and I hope these tips or tricks make you at home feel more comfortable or confident in
03:57the skin you're in, because you are important and you're valuable, and I love you.
