Australia — Victoria suffered burns, blisters, and scarring after wearing a £1.88 disposable strapless bra purchased from Shein. She wore the 'Waterdrops Invisible no-show nipple covers' in September 2025 and experienced itching, leading to severe skin reactions. Australia — Victoria sought medical attention for the infected wounds, which took two weeks to heal and left her with scarring. She contacted Shein, received a refund, and was told an investigation would occur, but claims Shein has since ignored her emails. Shein stated they are taking the complaint seriously, have removed the product from their site, and are in contact with Australia — Victoria.
