Ripplu Bra
June 25 2008 at 2:48 AM Sunshine (no login)
A few weeks ago I mentioned that I was going to try Ripplu in an attempt to tone down the 'quad boobs' situation I have going on. So this is just to update anyone like Jelly or whomever that might be interested in trying the bra.
I hope me posting about this item is okay with Eve. I don't mean to get off topic, so I'm sorry if this is of any bother to anyone. Just let me know and I won't do it again.
Here goes..
I've only had it two days but I LOVE IT! I don't expect it to work miracles, but I've been looking for a bra that will help keep all my business inside the bra, and this one really does! (I normally wear Lasenza (canada) bras - I think they try to emulate Victoria's Secret). I love the fit, I just wish the effect could be permanent after you take the bra off, but hopefully with time, the fat will be trained to stay there somewhat. I wasn't expecting it to fit so well since I couldn't try it on beforehand, but it fits like a glove (never had that experience before). When I took it out of the packaging, the bra looked so big, but I followed the directions (yes, they give directions
) and it fits perfectly!
-The side/underarm straps are wide so you don't get back bulge
-the cup itself at the sides have alot of coverage to keep the fat in (sits right along the curve of my underarm)
-the underwire doesn't curve/mold into the center so much (sits right under the breast nicely) so the sizing fits me better (to explain - my breasts are really close together, so some bras I can't wear because the cups are too far apart so the underwiring cuts into my breast - if that makes any sense)
-and best of all, the support (for boobs AND quads) lasts quite a while with minimal adjustments throughout the day.
-actually, scratch that - Best of all is the cleavage. I didn't expect to get any cleavage to be honest because it's not really padded. But HOLY! And it seems to stay as long as the support does. I can get cleavage with padded bras at lasenza, but I have to constantly re-adjust to keep it there, you know?
So to end this novel - if anyone else was ever interested in trying their stuff, let me know. I can give you details about how I went about choosing the right one and measuring sizes (measurements vary with their bras, so if you do order, please send them an email telling them your size so they can ensure you get the right fit for any specific bra)

Hi Sunshine, thankyou for updating us !!!!! Yes I thought the bra looked good !!!!! to get the fat to stay you should wear your bra as many hours as possible even sleep in it when you can so 2 bras (while you wash one etc....) is the best option. I might get one as those bras plunge more than the lingerie I sell which is built for catching the whole breast.
So I'd love too know what size bra you normally wear and what size ripplu bra and did you get step one and what was the process you went through ???
Getting the right lingerie makes a huge difference doesnt it ! love Jelly......

Sunshine,
I would be interested in knowing more about this product. I have heard Jelly rave about hers but I can't afford it. I was wondering how expensive the Rippula is? Is there a site that I can go to and look at it?
Thanks

I would really like to know if anyone had perminant results with the bra.Does the fat from underarms really shift to the breasts?

Part 1! Bradelis 7501
June 27 2008, 8:38 PM
JellyD, or should I say JellyE!! I definitely want to purchase a second so I can wear a Ripplu everyday! The bra that I purchased is Bradelis 7501 (a step one) in size 32C. I followed the directions on-line for measuring (bend forward to measure top bust, etc) and did this rather snug-ly and came up with the measurement 70cm under, 80cm top bust early in the month and 83+ cm top bust during my swelling phase which lasts more than half the month so 32C in this specific bra. Normally, I wear 32B bras, which are either a little loose or too tight. It really depends on the bra.
This bra fits me really well. When I first took it out of the packaging it looked way too big, I was so disappointed! But as soon as I put it on and scooped everything up, it fit perfectly, and stayed in place! Its really supportive and actually looks like Im wearing a pushup (but Im not!) wheres the bad in that? I dont want to gush but I feel like it was custom made for me. I probably just lucked out with the fit. Jelly is totally right, when you have the right fitting bra, it makes all the difference!! Its definitely improved the way I feel about them.
I think the reason I got such a well fitting bra is because of the customer service. In two weeks, we must have corresponded at least 12 times via email and they were so patient with me all the way (I asked so many questions and switched up my order many times because the more questions I asked, the more it directed me to the right bra). She gave me very detailed descriptions of all the bras I was interested in (even how wide the shoulder straps were down to the millimeter!) (I dont know how we got on that topic) and compared between bras to help me choose. And even told me her experience with the different bras, so that was really thoughtful and helped.

Before I emailed them with my inquiries I had my mind set on a step 2 bra because it looked like it had better coverage at the sides, and the bra shoulder straps looked further apart so I thought they would be better at keeping the fat in. but after telling her about my reshaping goals, she recommended the one I now own (a step 1) (and its cheaper too).
The one I chose is more flexible than the other Step One bras which is perfect because of the luteal swelling I experience (its a pretty big fluctuation) so keep that in mind if you plan to place an order. 7501 has some give to it. It really hugs me, yet is flexible. The coverage is amazing. The sides go up really close to my armpit, so it really holds everything in well. And this one is good for petites, or people with breasts set close together like me.

Permanent shaping?
June 27 2008, 8:40 PM
Dixieland and Sandy -
I dont think that these bras are comparative to the type of shapewear that Jelly wears. Her garments are more restrictive, because they are shapers really high-quality I would imagine. I believe her shapewear has three separate pieces so it is much more effective.
Ripplu is only a bra, so I dont think we should expect the same kind of drastic results that Jelly has gotten. But I think a difference in shape can be expected after a while. Youre no longer spilling fat out at the sides, because the bra surrounds that area. And the company expects there to be results since it does divide the bras into steps and people seem to move from one step to the next. She told me not to get a Step 2 bra as my first bra, because Step 1 shapes them to become more full, rounded and centered. Step 1 is a ¾ cup push-up bra, so it has more coverage and support to scoop all that extra fat into the bra. Once that is accomplished, you move to Step 2 where the bras are only ½ cups. If you skip to Step 2 youll experience spilling out at the sides if you havent accomplished Step 1. (I didnt ask about step 3 because I dont want to get ahead of myself!)
I dont expect to get rid of all the sidefat, but I hope with continued wear, it will help reshape that area somewhat at least. I think a huge reason I have so much side fat is because Ive been wearing the wrong bra size/shape, etc.
There was another poster, Jenn, in the other thread who received her Ripplu right while I was contemplating ordering one, and she loved the fit as well. I wonder how she is doing with it now that its been a month or more.
Even if it doesnt reshape, Im just happy that I have a bra that holds it all in without constant readjusting, so I can actually wear tank tops without constantly having to maneuver ways to slip the fat in when no one is looking (hah). I really would like to get to step 2 though, theres a gorgeous one that is sold as a step 3 but the girl told me that it would be a good fit for a 2 stepper as well. Fingers crossed Ill get there.

Lastly - measuring advice!
June 27 2008, 8:41 PM
I just want to emphasize that you should measure snugly. A couple centimeters difference does make a huge difference. I was really worried because my measurements were on the brink of being between two sizes for the bra I was going to order. So if youre unsure like I was, please email them before you order thats how I found out that the 7501 is more flexible and accommodating than the other step 1s.
Also, beware. their size charts are weird ! there are 3 or 4 of them, some tailored to a specific bra. I asked her to clarify which chart to go by, but didnt get a clear answer. So when you get your cm measurement, email customer service the numbers and tell them which bras youre interested in so they can give you a clear quote on which size bra to order.
I hope this information helps!
Sorry for posting so many messages. i thought reading in parts might be less of a bother to people who want to sift through or skip parts

It really is a pretty bra. I looked at the website and am wondering, the size charts are a bit strange. Do they make one for a size A cup?
I am glad to hear you love it so much. Buying bras is so depressing for me. But when I find one I like, it's like a party! My mom sent me a really nice one just recently. It's Calvin Klein. Padded just right. Thank goodness.

June 29 2008, 1:18 AM
thankyou sunshine for all the details !!!! yep its great to have a great fitting bra and certainly helps our big boob journey !!!
JUST TO CLARIFY GIRLS !!!!
re my growth. I did not grow to a size E just from wearing my corps de reve lingerie !! if it were that easy nowone would be getting boob jobs in the world ! I spent 1 1/2 years slowly with trial and error with herbs and massage growing them. When I turned 50 I decided to get myself a birthday present (the corps de reve lingerie) and for me the rest was history lol....
What I did achieve with it was I went from D to F according to thier sizing which made me in real size a bit over a DD. Iwas happy to have all the back and side fat transfered and my boobs shape changed.
Moomn I cnat say its permanent because Im addicted to the system but I can say when I take off my bra the shape is much much better and seems to look the same when I put the bra on the next day my waist also remaims changed and the curve in my backside.
I think RIPPLU must be a really well made bra and its not expensive I dont know if It will fit me but I hope so because its like a plunge bra which I dont have yet love Jelly......
