EXTREME PLUNGE GEL BRA

MULTI WAY PADDED GEL BRA

 

After seeing the above kind of bras that some sellers have for sale, I felt compelled to write this guide! I will not mention any names (though I would love to!) as I have received several insulting emails from these rip-off merchants! You may think that the price they are offering is very good for a cleavage boosting gel bra (which can be expensive if it's a Wonderbra, Playtex, etc) Yes, the 5 in 1 padded gel bras are amazing. In fact, I have several of them in different colours, so why am I warning you about these great bras...?

BECAUSE I BOUGHT MINE IN PRIMARK FOR JUST 4 POUNDS, NEARLY HALF THE PRICE IN WHICH SOME SELLERS ARE CHARGING!

SOME ARE GOING FOR A TENNER, AND ALL OF THEM OVER CHARGE ON POSTAGE!

I have nothing against the sellers personally, and I know everyone (including me) sells things on eBay for the sole purpose of making some cash back on things you don't use or wear. But it just made me really mad that they are intentionally ripping people off by buying flogging cheap underwear which is available on the High Street and selling it as something it is not! (i.e. failing to mention it is a Primark bra)

I see that some have taken the Primark tags off the bras, but the last time I looked, some had the  Primark tags still clearly visible! Granted, some do mention it is a Secret Possession bra, but again, it is Primark that make Secret Possessions. If you go into any of the 100's of stores Primark have, in the lingerie department, you will see that this is the name of Primark's lingerie line. Despite some of the sellers arguing that they are merely providing a "personal shopping service", I have, as yet, not found any evidence in any of the listings that clearly state this! Or state, that yes, they are in fact Primark bras! 

Just want to say again, I have nothing against the sellers but would like to tell anyone thinking of buying these miracle bras, take a look in Primark first! It's much cheaper heading to the high street! 

So if you see "Secret Possessions" tags, or the name is mentioned in the auction, it is in fact a PRIMARK BRA! Save yourself some money!

P.S Here is a pic of the bras in question! There is quite a lot of them on eBay, particularly from one rip-off seller. Here is also a quick description of the bras:

 

  • The bras are lace covered gel bras. They are also padded.
  • The bras have lacy wings too.
  • They come in just about every colour, but a lot of sellers sell the black and white ones consistently.
  • They have a cross-over detail between the cups (which you can see in the pic here).
  • Straps are detachable.
  • The straps can be worn different ways (i.e. multi way)

 

 

P.P.S I have now noticed that the rip-off sellers are doing the same with the "i-tec" seamless bras. Again, these are 6 quid PRIMARK BRAS and I have just saw one seller trying to flog them for 9.99 (plus 2.30 postage)!

The Primark bras themselves are actually rip-offs of the original Itec bra by La Senza (R.R.P 22 quid), and the sellers like to add that they are very similiar. So people *think* they are getting a bargain when, AGAIN, in fact THEY ARE RIPPING YOU OFF! Cheaper (yet again) to go to Primark ladies!
