Solutions for the Bra Blues and Bra Dilemma

November 25, 2009

There are several bra problems that arise only seasonally. The summertime is the season when women like to wear sleeveless blouses, and summer dresses. Women love to do various activities that require a lot of movement during the summer as well. The problem is that our bras just don’t stay in place.

Sleeveless shirts come in various forms. These tops have thick straps that cover the entire shoulder, medium straps, or spaghetti straps. Even if the shirt has thick straps, the bra can easily slip out of place, and be exposed on the side of the arm. The thinner straps on these shirts do nothing to hide our bra straps, and it can be so annoying to constantly fix our bra strap back under the shirt. Some shirts cross in the back leaving bra straps completely exposed in the back.

For church and special occasions, summer dresses two can have the same variety of strap sizes and the bra can easily be exposed. Who wants to dance, clap their hands, or attend a prestigious event only to be self-conscious about her bra straps showing and falling out of place? Sad, isn’t it? Thankfully, we have Tweakerz - Read more below!

Many women struggle with body issues. Everyone wishes to appear slimmer and have the perfect hourglass figure. All women look in the mirror and wonder how they can make themselves look better. They go on diets and hope that it will help, and sometimes it does. The truth is that women may not have to do anything dramatic to their bodies to look and feel better. Sometimes the problem is not you, it’s your bra.

A majority of women wear the wrong bra size. On top of this fact, even the “right bra” size doesn’t always give the support and lift that makes our breasts as attractive as they can be. While a bra that fits well tends to look better than a bra that fits poorly, we still feel that we could look better. Every woman’s body is different, mothers go through body changes, and weight fluctuates. No matter what, that “perfect bra” won’t always be perfect. We all need bras with adjustments, because even though we may be close to a particular size, bras are simply not custom made.

Women are not machines and our bodies will change throughout our lives. Our bras simply don’t change along with us. A good bra is hard to find. Even when we find the “right bra” it eventually wears down and that store we bought it from simply doesn’t sell the same bra. We may be able to find something similar, and we have to settle for that. It never is quite the same, however.

Changing your bra can improve your lift, cleavage, and instantly slim you. Make the adjustments to your favorite bras so that they fit you better and improve your look. If you don’t have the right size, even if a particular size fit you before, don’t be stubborn about buying a new one. Sometimes the bra you have is the best size you can get, all you need to do is adjust it.

The point is that you don’t have to change your body to look better and feel more confident about yourself. It’s not you; it’s your bra.

Bras that enhance cleavage

October 26, 2009

Many women look for bras that enhance cleavage. Often times the fit is simply not what she expected. Therefore most women have heard the saying; "that a good bra is a woman’s hardest working piece of clothing". So it’s no wonder that before you can say end-of-season-sale, that favorite bra is ready for rubbish. And for most women, it’s hard to part with the perfect bra–you know the one that doesn‘t ride up, never slips and supports you just right. And because 8 out of 10 women wear the wrong size bra, finding the perfect fit more than once seems near impossible.

Now, thanks to Tweakerz you can revive worn bras, prevent straps from sliding and use your favorite bra as a racerback style. You’ll look amazing in your favorite fashions and your breasts will be lifted and youthful. You’ll even look taller and appear thinner. It’s like having a surgeon at hand! Because Tweakerz is adjustable, you can get the perfect fit from any of your bras.

Tweakerz: Success in Bringing a Product to Market

October 20, 2009

Mandy Krammel understands that body image is critical to a woman. As a former aesthetician and make-up artist, she knows that a woman’s real perception of her size and shape is key to a healthy and positive body image. Women’s body changes, more so as we mature and give birth — that it is important that the accessories we wear help us feel good about how we look.

Mandy found success by simply listening to her body, and to other women. She knows that a lot of women have issues with their breasts — and the bras they wear.

For over two years, she focused on research and development, determined to find a product that provided versatility in bra type to accommodate different styles of clothing, as well as functionality and comfort.

The result: Tweakerz http://www.tweakerz.com , an FDA approved, totally customizable product that provides lift and support, creates cleavage, is easy to use and is also hypo-allergenic—no small feat in the world of bra enhancement products. She worked meticulously to design a stylish product that, in addition, revives older bras, converts regular bras to racerback styles, and even provides wearers with a slimming effect.

WomenHomeBusiness.com talked to Mandy about the process of bringing Tweakerz  to market and the challenges she faced:

What inspired you to develop Tweakerz? 
After giving birth to my first child, I noticed first-hand the toll pregnancy takes on a woman’s body– and our breasts in particular. For the first time in my life, I felt self-conscious and did not like the way I looked in my clothing. My favorite bras no longer fit the same and I found it difficult to find new styles that provided my ever-changing breasts with that desired perfect fit. I found that after pregnancy my bust lacked fullness and needed lift.

I quickly discovered that what I needed simply did not exist. I tried unnatural feeling bra inserts. I tried uncomfortable bra styles that claimed extreme lift. I even tried using my daughter’s baby barrettes to support my bra straps. Frustrated, I realized that my temporary baby barrette solution would, literally, no longer hold, so I have made it my mission to uplift the confidence–and breasts–of women like myself, giving them an option other than surgery. I realized that if I felt this way, there had to be plenty of other women that felt the same.

What makes this product different? Why should it be a must-have accessory of every woman?
8 out of 10 women wear the wrong size bra, finding the perfect fit more than once seems near impossible. Tweakerz is a patented, hypoallergenic detachable bra accessory, the only customizable (opens to different sizes) bra accessory, which easily connects the bra straps to create cleavage, lift and support. It’s so easy to put on. There’s no looping, weaving or difficult finagling, just slide it under your bra strap. It lies flat against a woman’s back rather than looping around bra straps, creating a visible bulge. The flexible middle piece offers 2 inches of various sizes. Because the center piece can bend, it creates a natural movement between the shoulder blades and is therefore very comfortable to wear.

There aren’t any products on the market that cater to different size people, being customizable, giving them the option of different sizes. Because of Tweakerz’s hypo allergenic properties, it can be worn to the gym or during physical activity with no fear of irritation or rash. Additionally, chiropractors are praising the products’ potential to reduce neck strain and encourage a more natural shoulder position.

What were the challenges you faced when starting the business?
Finding honest people to work with and a reliable manufacturer in the USA.

How did you finance the business?
I believe in my product so much that I used most of my savings.

It took you three years to get a patent for your product. From your experience with the whole patent process, what advice can you give other women inventors out there to make patenting easier?

First of all a good patent attorney is very important. I really loved the “Mom Inventors Handbook”. This book takes you through patent information, prototyping, manufacturing and all aspects of bringing your product to market.

How are you marketing Tweakerz?
My husband helps me with the marketing and PR and has developed and awesome website that features various videos and a store locator. We also have sales reps throughout the country.

Tweakerz will be available in boutiques as well as in your web site. What tips can you give in terms of convincing retailers to carry your product?
We offer a FREE sample to store owners, so they can experience firsthand the benefits of our little adjustable bra-miracle. We also provide a product comparison sheet that shows how Tweakerz prevails against competitor products. Our press package includes raving reviews from store owners like this one: “It’s definitely a counter top piece, it’s something that you really need to say to someone ‘you gotta try this on’ or ‘you need to have this’.” Alene Too – Boca Raton, Florida.

What are your plans for Tweakerz in the next 5 years?
I have 2 other variations of Tweakerz, one for petite women and one for larger busted women.

How has Tweakerz changed your life?
Being a makeup artist most of my life, I’ve always enjoyed helping women look and feel their best. Now thanks to Tweakerz, women contact [3] me and thank me for creating such a useful product. That motivates me to work harder, creating other products that will benefit women of all sizes.

What lessons can you share to other women entrepreneurs?
If you believe in your product, don’t give up. My patent was rejected twice, thank goodness I tried again. The bumps in the road helped me to create a better product. Do your research and don’t be afraid to ask questions. Consider doing your market research study before investing too much money.

Tweakerz Prevails in Bra Accessory Comparison

October 8, 2009

As-see-on-TV Bra Accessory comes in second against Tweakerz

The Tweakerz bra accessory is proving to be a winner against its competitor when placed side by side in comparison with the bra accessory advertised on television.

 Tweakerz, which is sometimes confused with its competitor, offers the benefits of lift, support, and cleavage as well as hiding bra straps. The competitor brand mainly focuses on keeping unsightly bra straps hidden.
 
The Tweakerz accessory is simply easier to use, as there is no difficult weaving required. Users can simply slip the bra straps right onto the product and it holds in place.
 
The composition of Tweakerz is also superior. The patented rectangular design is made from a hypoallergenic, clear, flexible material that is FDA approved and made in the USA. The opposing product, manufactured in China, is made from a hard plastic, reported as “uncomfortable,” and is disc-shaped.
 
A chiropractor has confirmed that the way Tweakerz was designed can relieve strain on the neck and back. Since the opposing product sits directly on the vertebrae, it doesn’t offer this relief.
 
The primary reason why Tweakerz beats its competitor, however, is the fact that it is fully customizable. Reviews on the contending product prove that bra accessories should not be “one size fits all.” Tweakerz provides two main size options, each with 3.5 inches in width variability. The competition offers multiple clips in different colors that are identical in size.
 
Tweakerz is favored in comparison on points of size, shape, composition, ease of use and functionality.
Tweakerz is an innovative bra accessory that is hypoallergenic, FDA approved and fully customizable. Its patented design gives women lift, support and the appearance of cleavage, as well as hiding unsightly bra straps, even with special occasion attire. This easy-to-use accessory is comfortable, functional and stylish. Tweakerz is available at upscale boutiques and lingerie stores throughout Florida, as well as in our online store.

No Need to Lose Weight, A Tweak to Your Bra Will Make You Thinner

June 23, 2009

Did you know that a simple bra-fix can instantly slim you? If you look in the mirror and don’t see those classic hourglass curves, you are not alone. The boxy, frumpy shape that many women experience is mostly commonly attributed to weight, and women automatically assume that they should go on a diet to look better. The truth is, you can look thinner without diet and exercise.

First of all, get a professional bra-fitting. A majority of women, about 80% of them, wear the wrong bra size. You need to get yourself into a bra that fits you well. Once you know your true bra size, try on a few different styles of bras and only get the ones that give you the most support, cleavage, and lift that you want. With the correct bra size, you should be able to notice the separation between the smallest part of your waist and your chest. This creates a slimming effect.

I know. It is virtually impossible to find the perfect bra. That is why you need this next step: Make adjustments. You will only be able to find bras that are nearly perfect, and then you can make them perfect with a little tweak. Tweakerz, that is. Not only will this product slim you, but it will keep your bras functional and fashionable for a long time.

You don’t have to lose weight. You just need a little tweak.
