I’ve been wearing Intimissimi’s comfortable strapless bra for a decade

When I was young, traveling the world alone, I found myself wandering the streets of Florence in a pretty white dress that I was particularly proud of. As I walked past the boutiques, ice cream stands, and a million other stylish tourists, there were plenty of things that would catch my eye. And yet, the only thing that kept coming into my vision was my reflection, specifically my bra straps peeking out from under the spaghetti straps of my dress. This had to change quickly, and unfortunately, that’s how I discovered the Italian brand Intimissimi.

In less than ten minutes, I walked in, bought my very first strapless bra, and exchanged it for the strappy underwear that was hurting my eyes. I didn’t think much of it at the time, but it became my all-time favorite bra, lasting me over six years before I replaced it with the same model, just to freshen things up.

Now I definitely have try other strapless bras over the last decade, but no matter how many new bras I bought, I never wore them. None were as smooth, comfortable, well-structured and soft as my Intimissimi. Most importantly, this strapless bra stays in place all day without any tingling or discomfort. I love it so much that I actually prefer it over any other bra, even under regular t-shirts that don’t necessarily need a strapless option.

Guess who wasn’t surprised at all when she found out that Jennifer Lopez also dresses in Intimissimi styles? Considering the impressive Italian quality and alluring designs, the brand is a perfect fit for sed(act)ress. Plus, now that the temperatures are rising, I can’t wait to break out tube tops and bodycon dresses, all of which require a strapless bra to keep things sheer and supported. Take it from someone who’s tried over ten different types of strapless bras: this one from Intimissimi reigns supreme.
