Hi Rhonda,
You always say “shop your top”! Problem, I wear an XL or 1X in tops. My bra size is 40GG. According to your size chart, I would not be able to wear the AHH bra. I am sure there are other women with the same problem. I wear a DG2 14 jean. I am just large up top. Do you thik you have an AHH bra that will fit? I love your panties and have several pairs of the pinup variety. Can’t wait for more colors in those!
Hello!
You may actually prefer the new Ahh Generation Bra with a double layered knit Item: 163-713 in a 1X. Love the Pin-up panties!

I love that! I understand the search for a great bra can be a challange, and I hope to keep bringing comfortable and flattering new options to HSN. Packs of modesty pads will be available this month- I’ll keep you posted!

I love the Ahh Bra and am a 4x. I was wondering when you will have the larger sizes available again? I have also ordered for my niece who is at the other end of size range and she loves them also. Best thing ever for no more straps falling off shoulders!!
Thanks so much! It’s all about that Ahh moment and being comfortable and confident by starting with the right foundations! I will have more color options in full sizes in all thigs Ahh- in stock soon!

Hi Rhonda! We are wondering when you will have the Arm Shapers in the 2 packs. Item number 755723. I have a friend who has some and loves them and we both want to buy some more! Thank you so much!

Susan,
Thanks for your comment! I have had several requests to bring back the arm shaper, and I am working with my team to bring it back to the line!

Thank you Rhonda! We’ll keep looking for them!

Hey Rhonda, luv your line so comfortable, and when you want something sexy you can have that as well but STILL with comfort. I was wondering if you will be bringing back the “cheeky stretch lace panty” really want to purchase but it is sold out and again that goes back to something that is sexy but still has the comfort. Cant wait till you come back!!
Hello! I love the cheeky panty! It will be back soon, and will be staying in the line; also bringing in some new sexy/comfy panty options- tune in!

Hello Rhonda,
I am looking for your shear shapewear – (shaper for tummy & upper part of thighs)The last time I saw these on HSN probably 2007 or 2008. I have several pairs and would really like to purchase new. The style number is: 4226HSN (RN# 99747)and the material used in these shapers is 80%Nylon and 20%spandex. These are really great because shaper has sticking around the butt area to lift up.Will you bring these back? or where can I purchase from you?
please let me know.thank you.
I love everything about your bras. I’m glad you changed the thickness and width of the ones with the pads. I don’t expect a support bra so I am completely satisfied with them. I NEED a support bra but they are too uncomfortable. I’d like to try some of your shapewear but I have too much to try to shape. I’m afraid my “jiggle” is more than it could handle. Anyway, I love to watch HSN when you’re on and I simply LOVE the AHH Bra!!!!!
Thanks so much for your comment! I’ll definitely always keep bringing new comfy items here to HSN!
Hi Rhonda, I purchased the Aah bra with the pad inserts, I wear a 38C, I ordered X-large, the bra rolls on the bottom and the straps curl on my shoulders, and I feel that my breasts are still sagging, did I order the wrong size?
Hello! The Ahh Bra is designed as a leisure bra and will not have the lift-or discomfort- of an underwire bra. According to the size chart a Large may be a more comfortable fit in this item!
XOXO
Rhonda
The Leisure Bra that I bought Item 493-926 is a good idea…I just have had problems with the shoulder straps always slipping off. I wish there was an adjustment to make them snugger and also I think they are cut too wide a ”U”, meaning that they should be closer together inward as appose to the edge of one’s shoulder so that they aren’t prone to just slide off. I like the bras I just don’t know what to do about them always slipping off my shoulder. I’ve tried different sizes to no avail.
Hello!
I’m sorry that it did not work for you; we do have lots of beautiful new styles coming up and many feature a thinner adjustable strap to help with that! Thank you for your feedback- Happy New Year!
XOXO
Rhonda
Please, tell me i am too slow and that you have not stopped making size 4x in ahh bras !!! I have tried and tried to get a size 4 x in the ahh ahh bra and the 3 x does not fit.I would like to order some please respond next visit please please please.Crazy Beryle
Beryle,
We try to carry as many sizes as possible in as many styles as we can, but unfortunately they do sometimes sell out quickly! More new styles coming soon in full sizes- stay tuned!

Rhonda
is your Ahh bra and the tv ads I see for Genie ra the same? Im ordering for my mother in law, who is DDD, and Tv ads are a lot less cost, looks like the same thing, but I dont see your name o nit anywhere. I dont want to get a cheap imitation if it truley is not your product…? confusing they look so similar!
I understand the confusion and unfortunately the authentic, original Ahh Bra is such a great product there have been a lot of cheaper imitations over the last couple of years. If it doesn’t say Ahh Bra by Rhonda Shear it is not the right one. Many of those imitators use a different type of yarn which may pill or lose color. Here at HSN you can get the best price on the Ahh Bra in tons of fun colors and other styles like my new Item: 146-750! I hope that helps! Happy New Year!
XOXO
Rhonda
Hello Rhonda Shear. Great brand. Two requests. First, evening gowns. Miss the gowns. Second, Rhonda you just have to talk these show hosts into modeling some of the items along with the girls when you are on the show. The show hosts are just as gorgeous as the models.
I love that! I have some HOT gowns coming next month that I am just flipping over. I cannot wait to bring them here to HSN! I also agree that the hosts are too gorgeous not to model, but they do wear the line underneath and do a great job on air with me- love my girls!
XOXO

rhonda ..i love the ahh bra and the seamless briefs…i used to be(when i was a sweet young thing) a victorias secret girl..i loved to be able to buy matching lingerie..it looks so pulled together….here’s the thing…i am middle aged now and love the comfort of your fabrics….i would love to mix and match your products but the colors( aside for the usual boring white, nude and black) are limited to particular styles, which is very limiting and disappointing. HELP?!!!!!..thanks
I love color too and totally understand wanting a matching set! I try to provide a wide variety of styles and a lot of colors and usually have a matching panty in the same collection (Ahh panty to match Ahh Bra, etc). I appreciate the feedback and will look into the line-up for sets this year- thank you for your comment!

Hi Rhonda:
I have been a devoted lover of your shapewear for years..! My weight goes up and down, and I feel your things always are great for whatever weight I am by 30-40 lbs.
Question: About 6 years ago, I bought your jeans in black and indigo with the girdle inside! These were the best jeans I ever purchased in my 54 years. I still wear them, but they are getting a bit worn!
Do you have plans to re-launch this category? My thighs have never looked so good..
Thanks,
Michele
Michele,
Thank you for your comment! It was a great jean-I have some new shaping apparel items coming this year and a jean is definitely a must! Stay tuned!

Rhonda
My problem is that I have the Shear Shapewear bras and it does not support me at all. They also roll up under my breast and the straps give no support either. I am heavy breasted so the straps sag down. I get absolutely no support.. I am a 38 full C cup also.Please help. I ordered a medium. I love this concept of comfort but I’m not getting it.
Hi Rhonda!
Luvvvvv your line it’s all I can wear! I’m totally addicted! I ordered so much stuff from here and your own website that I had to clean out my lingerie drawers! As they say out with the old in with the new! Bought tsv and practically everything you own! I have 1request Rhonda can you please make the lace bras with front closure? And make some Aghh bras with deeper v cut? also more Leopard Prints please! More leggings to!

Hello and thanks for all the love! I have had a few requests for front closure bras this year and have a couple of styles in the works now. I am in love with leopard! Check out my new leopard leggings Item: 135-948- available now!

PLEASE, RHONDA – HELP, ME RHONDA – HELP, HELP ME RHONDA! (YES, I was born in the 60’s)
Hello – I absolutely love your concept/personality/humor – I wear your Everyday Molded Cup Camisole HSN Item #406-902 to work. However, it doesn’t provide enough lift support for my 50+ 40C’s – BUT THE MOLDED CUPS ARE SIMPLY THE BEST FOR MODESTY W/OUT ADDING BULK – please, I beg you to create a AHHH Bra w/ this very same MOLDED CUP BUILT IN, NOT INSERTS THAN CAN SHIFT. WE NEED LIFT/MODESTY IN ONE-PLS REPLY!
Love it! I do have some comfy new options coming up this year including some styles with more of a molded cup-Stay tuned!

Rhonda
Rhonda,
Can you please tell us your real size. I am a 36C and was going to order the Large, but when you said you are a size Large, I stopped dialing immediately. You are more than two times my size – all over. So, when you say you wear a Large, this is very confusing for viewers. Please – tell us your real size. You have to be at least a 1X.
Hello,
I do like a firmer fit as a personal preference and wear a L or 1X in most Rhonda Shear Intimates styles. In this item I would suggest a Medium for your best fit.
Rhonda
Rhonda,thank you sooooo much for making the Aah bra with padded inserts! I bought them the first day they appeared and have been very glad I did! In fact, after coming home from work, I looked at HSN online and discovered that you had more in different colors. I ordered the 3 pack. :-) I feel you would want to know that I am having a problem with the bras rolling up. Of course, the perks out weigh the cons, prompting me to order again. Hope you and your Honey have a great 2012!
Thanks for letting me know; I will look into it! I’m glad you love them! More colors coming through the year-Happy 2012!

Hi Rhonda! Love your products! Last year you offered the Ahh Bra with Underwire….these work best for me….can’t seem to find them on HSN website anymore….it wasn’t a Leisure bra..it was a regular Ahh Bra with underwire! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE offer them again! Thanks!
Hello!
This is absolutely one of my favorite bras in the line! We do have more coming in later this month, and there may be some available online in your size – try Item: 122-550!

Rhonda
Is there a high waisted thong product? If not, any suggestions for not showing panty lines when wearing tighter bottoms? Happy 2012 everyone!
Hello!
I do have some thongs coming later this year, but I would suggest trying Item: 156-507 for a full coverage, supportive panty option as well. It is adorable on and eliminates those pesky panty lines without feeling like everything is “hanging out”. Happy 2012!
XOXO

Hi, I am a very large busted women 42DDD or 42G depending on the style. I have a very hard time with underwires just not fitting right is there any possibility of you making an Ahh bra with enough support for us big girls? My mom bought me a few different size and brands do this type of bra including the Ahh bra but my girls are just so heavy that they pull the bra down so no support or definition at all. I would pay just about anything to have a fit like those on the models .
Thanks
Try the new double layered ahhh Bra Rhonda just put out. the difference between the old bra and this new one is astounding. My gals aren’t as hefty as yours but they are 44c and my new bra fits me with the suppoer of a sports bra and has the comfort the the original ahhh bra. It’s worth a try
Thank you for your comments! I do think the new Ahh Generation II Bra, Item: 146-750, will be a comfortable choice or you might also like Item: 156-508 which is another bestselling leisure bra with no underwire here at HSN!

Have not worn anything else since discovering your bras 9 yr ago. But, last fall I tried the ‘other’ bra,( that starts with a G ). It came with modesty pads. I don’t need extra padding, just don’t want to show everything, and need some support! I’m glad to see this TSV, with the pads. So..I’m back to your bras!! But could you put a GOOD THICK QUALITY MOISTURE WICKING fabric in the front band? I am plus sz, AND MENOPAUSAL!!! I fold a wash cloth on the bias, and change 2 or 3 times a day!!
Thanks for coming back! There are unfortunately a lot of cheap imitations out there, but we do our best to keep innovating and bringing our customers the best quality designs at amazing prices. I am happy to say we are working right now with some totally new fabrics that keep things dry -which I personally am so excited for since I have also been enjoying my own personal summers lately! Stay tuned for a whole new kind of Ahh coming this Fall!

Hi Rhonda. I need help. I am a small girl size 6 on the bottom with a bra size of g,h or I when I can find it. my bust is heavy & I probably have 10 lbs on each boob. I ordered a size large in my 1st set of bra’s but I have no support even when I put on 2 bras. So I got some in XL and they don’t support me either. When I bend over in either size my boobs try to come out the top of the bra. I tried taking the straps up about an inch, helps support but back pulls up & not comfy. Help me, need supp
Hello!
Which bra did you try? Also, what is your bust measure? I’d love to help!
XO
Rhonda
Tried the Ahhh bra . I am buying a 36 I in a bra. hard to find except for the layne bryant catalogs. I just measured and came up with a 44. I would love to have the comfort of the Ahhh bra with some real support for the girls.
Hi, I have purchased your ahh bras in the past & loved the concept. The bottom front curled up all the time & when I sat the straps fell off my shoulders. I have had a mastectomy & can’t begin to tell you how painful a reg. bra is. I want & need your ahh bra to fit. I had a 1x before. Iam in a size 38D or 40C. What size should I be getting? I just ordered L in TSV. Thanks for cups for prosthesis. Also mas. bras are very costly, should I have gotten 2x? Gen.IIsounds better! Thanx
Thank you for your comment!I think the L should be the best fit, and I think you will love the Ahh GenerationII!I have been very involved with my local American Cancer Society and I really want to bring some more bra options to women who need the comfort in an affordable bra that is pretty and works for everyday. Traditional bras can be so uncomfortable and often unflattering which is why I created the Ahh Bra- no hooks, no wires, no itchy tags, no digging straps- just pure comfort!
XOXO

As I have gotten older, I have noticed I have no shoulders. I had ordered bras from Lane Bryant yrs. ago that had built in shoulder pads, which I luv, luv, but they are getting pretty worn out and no longer available. I have tried pads that you attach to the straps, but nothing works or looks as nice as the bras wiht the shoulder pads built right in. Is there any chance you could design such an item?? I have other friends with the same deliemma and we would be forever grateful!! Thank-you
I understand and agree! Have you tried any of the Ahh styles, the unique seamless material is made with a 4-way stretch with wide straps that bounce back and fit to your unique shape. I also have a tank, Item: 406-902, with a nice padded adjustable strap. Thank you for the feedback!
