As Seen on Tv.. I went there.
I mentioned recently that my fortieth birthday is coming up. Two years ago I wanted to have a HUGE Old School party. About a year ago I was talking about wanting to go to Vegas and party it up poolside with friends. About 6 months ago I began to sprout 4 bright white hairs from the right side of my widows peek. About a month ago I decided that I didn’t want Mr Shann to waste money on a party when I don’t ”party” and said I’d rather have my front yard re landscaped and we have begun to work on that and it’s been cool.
I don’t know what it is about turning 40 but it feels a whole lot worse than 20 and 30 ever felt, and 30 was HORRIBLE. I have terrible self image issues anyway, so now putting that dreadful age next to it really has been doing a number on me. I have begun to pull skin to flatten out wrinkles, notice every little freckle and somehow convince myself that it’s new and it’s because I’m turning forty!! Most recently I have been disgusted with the lines my bras make in the side of my torso. I’m positive I’ve been wearing the wrong size bras as long as I can remember, however the appearance of “back fat” has really gotten on my nerves lately and because I cant just go out and get lipo and it wont just magically fall off on it’s own, these things take time and effort to lose which I am working on but I want fast results now!! So I searched the internet far and wide and after a failed attempt at Torrid to get a bra that fits me and doesn’t make back fat lines, I did the one thing I thought I would never do.
I bought the as seen on TV miracle, the “Bra Genie”
I have no shame. I will admit to leaving the mall in tears and going straight to Walmart and spending $20 on exactly what I was looking for that wasn’t a sports bra and was going to get rid of my back fat that day… and it did!! I almost cried when I put it on and went to show Mr Shann and even HE noticed my back was smooth and had no creases in it, and he seems to not notice anything anymore. I tried not to let it bother me that he could see a significant difference and shouted out “WOW” but I was so much more excited that this is what I wanted and it worked!! I cant even care that it is something off an infomercial and that it was nine bucks instead of the forty five I was about to spend on some high end bra for fat chicks at the mall.
I’m planning on going to Walmart this week and buying 2 more and then possibly buying 2 more a week until I have them stock piled just in case they vanish off the face of the earth one day. Not only do they smooth out my back but my boobs are secure and look really nice and it is SO stinking comfortable it’s disgusting. I have to drag myself out of bed and take it off at night because I keep forgetting I’m even wearing it, where when I wore a bra I couldn’t wait to take it off the second I walked in the door!
So there you have it. If you’ve ever seen this infomercial and wondered “hmmmm” I am here to tell you it is probably one of the best chances I have taken buying something as seen on TV and recommend it to anyone who has as many issues with their body as I do. Or if you just would like your back to be more flattering, that is a good excuse too.

Wow…I’m sold! Honey Bunny, I hated my back fat and worked out my way into an injury and the fat is coming back! (because I had to quit the workouts for awhile…long enough to comfort eat). Now, I’ll be going to Wallyworld to purchase my own BraGenie. Do you buy the size you would like a “normal” bra? I cannot wait to get over there and get one! Maybe at like, 10:00 tonight. Heehee.
@Richgem - I might buy a size bigger just because they are snug for support but in some places it’s just TOO snug. There is a guide on the back of the box. Heck, they are right by the changing rooms, I would probably try it on even. Let me know how it works out I tell you, I wore one to dance last night and I didnt have to mess with my straps falling down or my boobs being all bouncy, everything stayed put, it was great.
