Pushup Bra

Whilst not having big boobs that get in the way the whole time, might be advantageous in some situations, but one day, sooner or later, comes the moment where even a cup A equipped woman wants to show off a bit. Enters the push up bra! Basically it is all in the name, this kind of bra pushes the breast upwards and allows for a bust line that looks naturally fuller.

Basically by using different methods, and combinations of those, to push your breasts together and to lift them at the same time. A good bra can make a visual difference of up to two cup sizes. Methods that are implemented can include a wire to fortify the base of the bra and to form a semi-rigid base from where to push things up. Padding, lining and inserts help to add more volume to the bust line and last, but not least, the form of the cup plus the straps help also to shape your breasts. Inserts give normally more volume then padding and lining only and can be made of silicone (yes, the same material that is used for a “boobs job”), water and even air. Water bras have the added advantage that the breasts swing more naturally, but they can make the whole design also a bit heavy. A lot of models have multiple “slits” into which additional gel, water or air insert might be slid in, making them easy to adjust to your personal preferences and giving you less or more oomph. Bras that have several pouches in different locations, give you also the advantage that you can adjust the direction the push comes from. Other bras feature a “front click”, leaving the back strap flat and adding this little bit more effect to form a nice cleavage and decollate. The best thing to do is to try and see if you which model and system you like most. Take water bras, some women swear by them, others not. So, what is now the best way to find your ideal one?

To choose the right bra it is always important to think about where and when you want to wear it. You will need a different model for playing tennis than for going to a ball wearing a shoulder free ballroom dress. Also the type of clothing you normally wear plays a role. If you are a jeans and t-shirt person, you are looking for a push bra with a very smooth design that doesn't show through the fabric for example. So that it its smooth and comfortable design makes it an ideal every day bra and it even goes well with a top that shows both, a back and a front decollate.

Now, not one of those ;-) Get a session with a lingerie expert to fit you out with a bra that is just right for you. Most woman try to find the right bra alone, and a lot of them succeed. But having a one-off bra fitting session in a specialized lingerie shop will literally open your eyes to the possibilities you have when choosing this important piece of undergarment. Bring the dress or t-shirt that you want to wear with your new bra with you to the shop to see how the two fit together. In the end you don't want your bra showing under your wedding dress? A trained retail assistant can show you models you have never thought even looking at before. Don't forget to note down your size and style information after the fitting session, so that you can refer to it in future. As long as you don't change weight too much, you will need only one fitting session to get you started. And if you know exactly what fits and which size you need, you can take advantage of the, generally lower, online prices. Plus you are not “seen” when you buy your little secret, as you shop from the privacy of your own home ;-)

Even if you normally prefer the natural look of your body, special events and dresses might call for a bit of extra help to give you this gorgeous cleavage. Choose a type of push up bra that not only makes you look good, but also is comfortable for you. Remember, the best push up bra is the one, that makes you look AND feel your best. Only if you feel comfortable, you will irradiate this to your surroundings and in the end, that is all what you want to achieve!

Best thing is obviously to follow the instructions for washing and general care that came with your purchase. In the end, the manufacturer knows best how to treat the material, but some advice would be to always hand wash them and to never put them in a dryer. Best way to dry them is laid out flat on a thick towel in the shade. Oh, and it might be obvious, but still, don't iron them ;-)

There are a lot of other possibilities around to give your girlies a little lift with out resorting to surgery. Whilst this article is about finding the best push bra for you, I will still mention a few of them.

That is here the question. Whilst soft cups are more comfortable to wear, underwired bras are a bit more pushy. I prefer comfortable, but your mileage might vary.

Push Up Bras are available in nearly every form, shape and color imaginable nowadays. If you are new to this whole bra-fitting business, I strongly recommend that you go to a specialized lingerie shop and get a fitting session. If you still insist you want to shop on your own I do recommend Amazon for convenience and choice. Have a little thought about where and under which garment you want to wear your new push bra and which method you prefer. Remember water, air and gel bras have normally inlets you can adjust whilst padded bras come often as they are and soft cups are more comfortable than underwired bras but provide also less push. Yours the choice...
