Using technology that mimics the way a gecko's foot sticks to surfaces, this strapless bra is one that won't fall down. Created by Kellie K Apparel, the undergarments feature something called GeckTeck technology, which was created by Anthony Roy (who has a PhD in mechanical engineering).
The lining keeps bras in place without causing any discomfort. It is also residue-free, reusable and moisture-resistant. The strapless bra design is "engineered for support" while also being fashionable as well as comfortable to wear. The biocompatible material is silicone-based with "superior frictional adhesion." Suitable even for those with sensitive skin, the bra lining is a game changer, even for those with larger cup sizes. Both The Ava and The Alice are available in different colors.
