Rixie Clip Bra Band Tightener, Black, Size 3.0

I lost a bit of weight and my expensive bras no longer fit around the band.The Roxy band helped make my bra band smaller by more than two inches.But be aware that by reducing my bra band I created other problems.1. The edge of the bra cups now cut into my underarms.2. The "tail" of the old bra clips feels weird against my back.3 I can feel the metal bar on the Roxy clip on my back, especially when I bend over.I'm glad I bought it as it is a "quick Fix" until I can buy a new bra, but I am happier I only bought one.

I am very pleased with this tightner. It works well. It fits my bra perfectly and that may be the key to it working well. My bra band is a 30 and choices are limited. For years I've tried to sew or glue more hooks on my bras but it always broke due to the tension. I put this on my sports bra. Lunaire style 1111. I got the 3/4 three hook one. I was concerned it would break while I was wearing it at the gym but I've worn it twice now with no problem. I really do think the key is making sure your bra and hooks work really well together. The metal never bothers my back. For the first time I didn't have back pain or shoulder pain because I had a tight band on my bra. It is so hard for me to find a good fitting bra. I have tried hundreds. I'm different cup sizes in different brands,Usely around an G but my band size rarely changes. Even though I have found a few regular bras I like, I never really found a sports bra besides Lunaire. It's so nice to have found this tightner that is almost lined up perfectly with my bra band hooks so I can keep wearing it. Instead of taking the tightner off to put it on another bra, I will just get another tightner. I don't want to bother it once it's on - not sure of it's durability.

I ordered the 3 hooks with 3/4" measurements, as that was the only type with 3 hooks they had for sale, and the majority of my bras have 3 hooks. As someone with a larger bust, I usually have to sister-size my bras and get ones with backs too wide in order to get the right cup size. So one needn't imagine my excitement upon finding the Rixie Clip, which promised me a future where every bra was a successful fit. I was completely ready for Rixie to revolutionize my life; I was already imagining a beautiful world in which I wasn't ordering expensive specialty bras online anymore, but simply waltzing into any local bra shop and loading up on sister-sized bras that could be taken home and tailored perfectly with my Rixie Clip. Needless to say, I ordered one immediately (though the reviews seem mixed) and waited with bated breath. Sure, it seemed sort of expensive, but the costs would clearly even out with all the money I would ultimately save.But in all seriousness, this thing is a huge waste of time and money. Of course, maybe if you get the smaller size, or wear bras with larger backs than I, you'll have a different experience. The 3 hook 3/4" is just massive. I'm going to attach a photo for reference, with it next to one of my three hooked bras and my hand. And this thing will not fit if it does not align completely perfectly. It was a pain to get on, as it sort of gets caught on the existing hooks of the bra, and as far as everyday use- I don't know, because I gave up on it then. I usually get Victoria's Secret bras, and it just didn't work. Really. Save your money. Try and tailor your bras yourself. $10 for this cheap thing is not worth it. I can't stress that enough. There are a few positive reviews, but this is just poorly made and not well designed.

I bought the 3-hook 3/4 inch clip thinking the overall width was 3/4", but when it arrived it was quite large. According to the Rixie Clip website, the 3/4" measurement is the spacing between the hooks, not the overall size, and they list the overall width on the site as well. Look through the Rixie Clip website for sizing before ordering from here (it's also cheaper on there as of this posting).

I'm in between bra band sizes and previously would have to take bras to be altered immediately after purchasing them. I've been wearing the clip for about a week now and I'm very satisfied. It's going to save me lots of money and will allow me to adjust to the perfect tightness as my bra band stretches over time. It does take a little practice to get the clip on just right but once it's in place you'll not need to adjust it again until you launder your bra. The clip lays flat and is not visible under clothing. The sizing did trip me up at first so know that the 1/2" or 3/4" measurement is referring to the spacing between the existing hooks on your bra. When i reached out to ask Rixie Clips some questions before ordering they were quick to respond and provided excellent customer service.

I don't know if I didn't have the right size or was doing something wrong but this did not work for me. I ended up getting a refund from Amazon.

It does not stay put like the product suggests. Good concept, poor execution. Likely, I will find a similar item for cheaper, purchase several of those, and either sew or pin them into place as this was not worth it.

The product was bent when I bought it. Overpriced. The actually sell a generic version of this at target cheeper now
