About Skin Lift Bra
Mae Skin Lift yn fra a gynlluniwyd i godi croen llac ar yr abdomen. Mae stripiau gludiog hypoalergenig wedi'u bondio i gaeadau bachyn a dolen ac wedi'u gosod y tu mewn i'r dilledyn, sydd wedi'i leinio â neilon brwsiedig. Gwasgir y stripiau ar y croen, ac yna tynnir y strapiau ysgwydd i fyny i godi'r croen i'r uchder a ddymunir. Mae'r croen sydd wedi'i godi yn edrych yn llyfnach ac mae'r wasg yn edrych yn deneuach, heb lawdriniaeth. Cynigir Skin Lift mewn tri maint, gydag estyniadau ar gyfer y maint mwyaf, a gwerthir y stripiau tafladwy mewn pecynnau o ddeg.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- Using a special technique ,by attaching human skin onto a specially designed garment, the skin on the body gets lifted,instantly creating a much younger looking and smoother looking skin and also improving shape.It is an instant tummy tuck,lifting skin instantly without the risk,pain and cost of surgery.Similar attempts to lift skin by means of a set of adhesives are not as effective,as skin needs an anchor garment to keep holding it in place.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The bonded adhesives are cut into 10 cm strips, and are 2.5 cm in width and sold in small packages of 10.This will be sold as a starter pack together with the garment. Larger amounts can be bought separately as the adhesive strips are disposable .The adhesive strips are disposable, hypoallergenic and therefore a lucrative by product.
The garment will be sold in 3 bra sizes; large (with attachable extensions),medium and small. - Tags
- underwear garment, tummy tuck, cellulite and wrinkle removal.
- Production Technology
- After having found the right adhesive and tested it for strength,I had to find a way to attach it to an anchor garment,so I bonded it with Velcro.To attach the Velcro hook strip to the garment I had to find a suitable fabric on the inside of the garment,for which I used brushed nylon
- Design Challenge
- The greatest challenge after finding the right adhesive and matching fabric for the Velcro,was to design a garment that would hold up the skin on the tummy and not pull the bust down.I eventually realized that a garment that holds up skin on the tummy and also holds up the bust would not be possible,so I then decided to separate the two,giving the option to wear a bra with the T&T garment or just on it's own for those who do not need much bust lift,but have sagging skin on the tummy.Then another challenge was to design a garment with straps that would not interfere with the bra's function.
- Research
- Various adhesives first had to be tested for skin friendliness and strength until the right one was found.Various fabrics were tested for matching the bonded Velcro adhesive to the garment.
- Inspiration
- I wanted to find a solution for women's most universal beauty problem;sagging,wrinkled and dimpled skin.I was inspired by an Oprah tv program with Sarah Blakely who invented Spanx,a shape garment and how she came up with a solution for improving shape on the body.Her story and ultimate success inspired me to find a solution for improving skin texture,as well as shape,without the constrictiveness of most shape garments.
- Project Duration
- The road to this invention was a long one;research started in 2008 and was completed in the Western Cape South Africa in 2022.
- Operation Flow
- The wearer attaches the garment below a regular bra leaving the straps loose.The garment is then turned around to open the inside and the adhesive strips are attached,the adhesive strip cover is removed and the adhesive is attached to the skin.The garment straps are then pulled up and the skin is pulled to its desired height for dramatic effect.
