    Knix is a Canadian company. Most of their sales are online, but they have a few brick and mortar…read morestores. Luckily for us Ottawans, we recently got one of their stores in our city. Admittedly, I had never heard of this company until they opened up the store in my neighbourhood. Knix sells comfortable and functional underwear. The owner once said that in the women's underwear world there's too much frills, not enough function. Now don't get me wrong, there's a time and place for sexy as all get-out but uncomfortable as heck lingerie, lol, but there are also times when comfort should reign, at the expense of sex appeal, haha. (If anyone knows of a brand that is the best of both worlds, let me know). In all fairness, I guess their underwear could be seen as girl-next-door attractive, but definitely not vavavoom vixen hot, at least not in my opinion ;) Knix sells seamless comfortable basic looking underwear (panties and bras). Their panties range from $23-$48. Their bras are $50-$98. They also sell comfy clothes to lounge around the house in. Prices are $50+. In addition to regular everyday underwear, they also sell specialty items like nursing bras, and panties with extra absorbance for incontinence and for menstruation. Their models are of all shapes, sizes, ages and races. They are very inclusive and "real life." This store is big with lots of open space. They have samples on display and when you purchase, they get you a new one from the back storage room that other people have not manhandled (I like this). Staff are friendly and helpful. Street parking only.

    Bra shopping is the worst, it's so hard to find the perfect one. I went to Knix on my daughter's…read morerecommendation. She's getting married and since my dress has a V-neck, I needed the perfect fit. The lady who helped me was so understanding of my embarrassment. She made it seem like the most ordinary thing in the world. She was a huge help and found me the perfect bra. There were also 2 other ladies that I got to speak with and by the time I left, I felt like I had made 3 best friends.. Thank you!

    I am hard to fit. I finally found a brand that worked for me at Secrets From Your Sisters in…read moreToronto. I bought several there and more here in Ottawa. Then came time to replenish. I was dismayed to find Grenier the Canadian brand I was wearing is no longer in business. I had several failed fitting attempts at other places. No one's fault. I was giving up hope. Yesterday at Brachic (November 2019) they found me TWO different types that are terrific. Sales staff could not have been more encouraging and considerate.

    Today was my first time visiting Brachic. I had an amazing experience. I am larger breasted and…read morehave struggled with bras and sizing for some time. I went on YouTube to see how to properly size myself but realized from reading info online that I might be better off visiting a specialty bra boutique for fitting and consult since it seems size varies by manufacturer. I found out about Brachic via Google search but then a friend of mine also mentioned them so we decided to go together for a visit. We were cheerfully greeted by the staff and asked if it was our first time to the shop. Then we were asked what we were looking for. I was introduced to my fitter Maryanne who was just lovely. She took me to a private room where my concerns and taste in bras was discussed and then she brought a selection of bras. I tried several on to narrow choice of style and support level and I ended up choosing 2 bras. The price point is on the high end but this is a garment you wear daily and after this fitting I honestly can say that the foundation you wear makes all the difference not only to how your clothes fit but to how you physically feel better with a proper fitting, supportive bra! It is so worth every penny! It boosted my confidence to see how nicely my shirts fit with the right bra and to be able to wear a tank top again feels amazing. The ladies told me how to properly care for the bra so it lasts a long time and gave such helpful tips. This is a fantastic shop and I will be back to get more bras. It also feels great to support a local Ottawa business!
