Quick View: I am a sucker for exercise gadgets. I have loads of them. Some are worthless and some actually work quite well. I saw the Easy Curves "thing" on TV late one night and, as usual, ended up ordering it. I was baited a bit by the low price because the shipping is more than the actual gadget but still, I think Easy Curves was worth the price I paid.
About the As Seen on TV Easy Curves
Easy Curves is a long plastic stick with padded hand grips and a resistance circle in the middle. There are six levels of resistance. The idea is to firm and lift the bust by using the resistance of pulling the the sliding part of the bar out and pushing it back in. There are 10 exercises you can do with the bar to firm the chest area and to lift the bust. I find it works my arms just as much as my chest. The claims are that the average woman's bust will go from 36.4" to 37.2" with five minutes a day usage over a 30 day period. The gadget is guaranteed and you can send it back within 60 days for your money back but the shipping and handling isn't returned so really, it isn't worth it. The bar cost only $9.99 but shipping is $12.83. I hate that.
Anyway, I didn't buy this to increase my bust size (really!), I bought it because I am in my 40's and EVERYTHING is less firm than it was 20 years ago and I am fighting gravity until the bitter end. You can firm the bust line with free weights doing butterflies and other exercises so this really isn't some kind of miracle gadget. However, I find it easy to do and challenging. I have the resistance set on 4 and do the exercises daily. I have only done this for about two weeks but I feel it not just in my chest area but my arms as well. And I do feel firmer. I don't have cantaloupe boobs but my chest muscles are getting stronger and firmer.
Note that this gadget (or ANY gadget) cannot actually make your bust larger. The increase comes from lifting and firming what you already have. I just wanted to make that clear because it is a tad misleading to say that your bust will enlarge. It will appear larger because it is lifted and firmer.
My Viewpoint
Easy Curves is an easy system that will help to firm the bust area and actually works the biceps as well. Anyone can do it. It's not complicated or very taxing. You can achieve the same results with weights and other exercises but this little gadget does do most of what it claims. I haven't measured myself and probably won't, but I am just looking to firm every part of my body and this helps. If I were you, though, I would wait until the gadget goes on sale at other websites and get it for less shipping. It comes to $22.82 with shipping. The actual gadget is only $9.99. I give this 4 stars but don't expect miracles, just a little "lift" where you need it.

UPDATE: July 13, 2008 - I continue to use this bar on level 6 and have seen an incredible change in my back and shoulder muscles as well as the tops of my shoulders, arms, and chest. I use it now for 20 minutes a day and have found new exercises to work the backs of my arms, biceps, and shoulders. It's still working fine. Just beware of the vitamin offer on the site. Cancel IMMEDIATELY when you receive your bar and you should be fine. The bar is still not selling in stores or on other sites but probably will be soon. I'll update when it does go mainstream.
UPDATE: March, 2009 - Still using the bar! I did note that, after so long, it seems like one side is easier to push in and out than the other. The company said this is 100% normal and will not affect anything but I bought another one just because it bugged me. See my new pic to see the definition that my arms have now. I have not done much else for my arms so I have to hand it to Easy Curves!
