Understanding Your Bra Options
Tiffany Hart
You wear different clothes for different situations. The same thing should go for your bras. There are different designs for different times, so make sure you understand the options so you can get the best look possible.
Underwire bras have a thin flexible wire for added support to bra cups. 75% of women own underwire bras. They are more supportive of the breasts. Bras look sexier with underwires, as well.
Soft Cup Bras come without wires and may be padded or lined. They are becoming more supportive with side sling action. They are great if you had surgery. There are limited styles but many women enjoy the comfort without the wires.
Push-up bras provide you with a fuller looking bust. It is designed to push the breasts upward. 30% of women own these bras. Great to flaunt your stuff. If you are a large busted woman, no need for the extra lift.
Strapless Bras have no straps as the name suggests and are designed for strapless outfits. 39% of women own and 1% wear this bra. This bra is great for those special evenings when you have that strapless dress or blouse.
Exercise is the key to maintaining good health. Far too many of us don't have enough time, but it has to be done. Sports bras provide the kind of support you need for an active lifestyle.
Some looks are better when you present a more reserved appearance. For women with larger breasts, this means using a minimizer bra. This bra works by flattenting the breast and moving material horizontally to the sides.
Demi Bras cover half of the breast and nipples. They give you a straight bust line without the extra push-up effect. They use shorter wires, which are more comfortable and great for lower cut dresses and blouses.
Full cull bras are designed for big busted women. They are designed to maximize support and comfort. These bras do not necessarily go up in band size. If you are a DD and above, you can find your cup size here.
The brassiere has come a very long way in the last 20 years. Don't short change yourself by using one type of bra for all occassions. Investigate your options and improve your look and comfort.
