What a joke!
I ordered the Genie Bras after watching an infomercial (I know I can't believe I fell for an infomercial). I am an RN and have to do a lot of bending over and moving so one of the major problems I have with bras is that either the straps fall off of my shoulders constantly or when I bend over my breasts spill out of the top of the bra and am having to constantly adjust it. I've tried most sports bras but all they do is squish my breasts so tight it gives me the "one boob" look... I am a large breasted woman a full D-DD. I ordered the size XL-1X according to the size chart on the website. XL-1X was supposed to cover a woman who wears a 18W shirt and a 41-46 bust size. Since I am an 18W and my bust size is 42, one would think that this would be the appropriate size. However, upon opening the package, I broke into a full on laugh, assuming they MUST have sent the wrong size as the cup was around size A-B. I couldn't believe when I looked at the tag on the bra and it said 1X. Really??? Clearly, the size chart is BS. I did try it on just for the hell of it and of course my breasts were spilling out all over the place, which is what happens when you put a D into a A-B cup... Anyway, the idea was a good one and the bra material seems nice but they seriously need to get their sizing figured out. For 19.95 shipping and handling I won't be mailing back and forth until I get one that fits... So much for wishful thinking... Also of note, it took over 1 month for me to receive the bras.

Shoulder straps discomfort
I agree with so many of these complaints, that it takes entirely TOO LONG to receive the product (I'd ordered mine for a vacation and had PLENTY of time to get it), but it came a week and a half after I left for my 3 week trip!!
Ok, well, I was excited to try one on and noticed the CHEAP bag/package they came in, well, I knew I was over-charged for the shipping right away, but what can ya do??
I pretty much liked the beige bra I put on for the first 4-6 hours, but then realized the shoulder straps, if you can call them that, were starting to roll. Thus, making a thin, tight strap of fabric going over my shoulders instead of a wider, smoother strap...I kept straightening them out, but to no avail. I've gone on 12 hours almost now, and can't wait to REMOVE THE DARNED BRA! My shoulders are sore and achy. I've never worn a bra that did that to me. The VERY THIN fabric also keeps slipping down on my breasts, I'm fairly large, so I have to keep pulling the sides/straps up...again, never had that problem with a brand new bra. There's no way to adjust as there is no metal or plastic on it. So if it's already not holding shape and rolling then I can't imagine what it'll do in a few months?! DO NOT BUY THIS, and thanks for the number whoever posted it; I'll be calling to return these silly things first thing TOMORROW morning!!
