This weekend, though, I discovered yet another amazing benefit of the Handful bra. Oldest Brother LOVES a good theme party and was hosting a tiki/luau themed party at his house last Saturday, costume required. Since I don't own a huge amount of Hawaiian clotheing (or any...), I decided to go with a beach cover-up over a bathing suit. Somehow I figured that my TYR diamond back suit wasn't quite in keeping with the theme, so I rummaged deep into the back of my dresser and found a top from a 2 piece suit. When I was about to put it on, I noticed that one of the removable pads was missing and was nowhere to be found in my drawer. I considered going without, but...well...like I said before, my, um, chest is not my BEST asset. Sometimes a girl just needs a little help, amIright? (Don't get me wrong--I LOVE my body, and long ago embraced my flat chest, but still. It's nice to feel like a girl!) Anyways, I puzzled for a minute or two over the lopsided swim suit, then spotted my Handful in the drawer. INSPIRATION STRUCK.
I pulled the removable pads out of the Handful and put them in the bathing suit top. They fit perfectly! Not only that, they gave the top a great, flattering shape, and actually made it way more supportive than a regular bathing suit top. Check out the comparison between the original pads that came with the suit and the Handful pads:
The best part was that they made my cheapie Target swim suit feel much like higher-quality suit in about 1 minute. I will definitely be using the Handful pads in my suit all summer, and probably even buying an extra set. Handful sells additional sets of pads for $10 here. Oh, and of course I won't leave you without a picture from the I wish it were summer Party Tiki Party:

DeleteAwesome! I love love love my handful bras! I didn't know you could get extra pads. Yippie!! I lost some of mine in Maui since I put them in my swimsuit in Maui and took them out to change and left them on a boat. boo. Then handful bra with my pads doesn't look nearly as good on me.
