The bra that sucks!

It sounded too good to be true. When the news first emerged that an American surgeon had invented a device - a sort of glorified suction bra - called the Brava, which expands breast tissue and gives lasting results, the initial reaction was incredulity, closely followed by a rush of interest from women fearful of breast implants.

Air is sucked out of the domes, and a gentle vacuum pressure is created, controlled by a microprocessor. If you've ever used a breast pump, that's what it feels like. This stimulates new breast tissue to grow. The contraption must be worn for at least 10 hours a day, every day, for at least 10 weeks, after which the average increase in breast volume is 100cc - one cup size...

And does it work? Yes, say thousands of delighted women.

Susan Roots...and after three weeks, she's delighted.

...like most women, I'd be delighted to have them just one size larger

..."But," says Dr Khouri, with a smile...

You know, it sounds like the manufacturer is trying to tell us the device does more than just create suction. I can't help but be reminded of the comments on Amazon.com's website about the Harry Potter Nimbus 2000 broomstick before they wiped that page clean.

Excellent!, June 11, 2002
Reviewer: poola13 from Ohio
When my 12 year old daughter asked for this for her birthday, I kind of wondered if she was too old for it, but she seems to LOVE it. Her friends love it too! They play for hours in her bedroom with this great toy. They really seem to like the special effects it offers (the sound effects and vibrating). My oldest daughter (17) really likes it too! I reccomend this for all children.



Hmmm...12 year olds spending hours alone in the bedroom? A 17-year-old girl likes it too?
