By now, you've definitely seen this summer's biggest boob trend: stick-on bras. And it's easy to see why: With the pull of a string, breasts are lifted and cleavage is enhanced, with no painful straps or constricting bands.
Millions of women want the magical results promised by these stick-on strapless bras — and after seeing this video by Amber Rose, who can blame them?
I MEAN… this is incredible.
It seems like the perfect solution to all your summer wardrobe issues — but there's a darker side.
Our team tried the iconic Sneaky Vaunt Bra, and while they didn't really love the results, they weren't HURT in any way.
But they might be in the minority. Women are now saying that these stick-on bras are ripping off their skin, causing blisters, and making them bleed — and the photos are genuinely horrifying.
In a viral Facebook post that has been shared 62,000 times, one woman detailed her absolutely horrific experience with a stick-on bra.
Jami Catherine Moran Jessop created a public post about her experiences, so that other women wouldn't go through what she's been experiencing. "I have never in my life in been in this much pain," she wrote.
Warning: GRAPHIC photos ahead.
Wanting the lifting, push-up results that are so visible all over social media, Jessop purchased a knock-off stick-on bra from Amazon. It seemed safe, with mostly positive reviews. It was not.
Jami's post explains that she applied the bra correctly, but after a very short time, it was GLUED to her breast — and wouldn't come off.
"[The bra instructions say] 'don't recommend for heat because it will make the bra slip,'" Jami wrote, sharing that the only time she was in heat was when she ran outside to her car. "Well, I wore it and it DID NOT slip."
When she removed the bra, it literally ripped chunks of skin off her breasts, and I am ABSOLUTELY SCREAMING MYSELF TO DEATH.
In addition to the painful red welts, you can see that she is lifting up hospital gauze to show her injuries. This is an actual nightmare.
"I never want anyone to experience what I have," she said.
But she's not the only one. On Instagram, one woman showed the "ripped skin and row of blisters" caused by another off-brand stick-on bra.
Twitter users are chiming in with their horror stories, too.
*winces*
*shrieks*
*ACTUALLY CRIES*
So what's the lesson here? When it comes to shopping for viral boob-holders, BUYER BEWARE.
I'll be over here, curled up in a corner and crying.
