Having large breasts is a dream for most women. However, breast augmentation surgery certainly requires a lot of pockets. That's why not a few women who choose to wear push-up bras so that their breasts look denser.
Choosing a push-up bra according to breast size
In contrast to ordinary bras, push up bras are specially designed to have wire support and foam pads in the cup to make the breasts more raised so that they appear larger and denser.
This type of push up bra is actually suitable for any breast size, from small, medium, even large ones. However, you must carefully select this type of bra. If your breasts are small, wear a bra that has thick foam pads and coats the entire cup to provide additional volume to make the breasts look bigger.
Meanwhile, if your breasts are large enough, use a bra that has thin foam pads but thickened at the bottom of the cup only or only on the outer side of the bra cup. In this way, the breasts will not look saggy but also will not look overstated.
Push-up bra with foam only under or the outer side can also prevent tightness for those of you who have large breasts.

Can you wear push-up bra while sleeping?
It's okay to wear a bra while sleeping, depending on the comfort of each person, but you should not wear a bra type of push up, said Dr. Amber Guth, director of the Breast Cancer Surgery Multidisciplinary Fellowship at NYU Langone Medical Center.
So far there have been no serious health problems from sleeping with a push-up bra. However, this bra wire can press against your chest so that it makes you short of breath and uncomfortable during sleep. Especially if you sleep on your stomach. Friction between bra material that is too tight with the skin during sleep is also prone to cause irritation.
If you still want to wear a bra while sleeping, choose a bra with soft and soft material and absorb sweat. Do not wear a bra that has too tight a wire to limit or stop blood circulation. Wear a bra that looks like a mini set or sports bra. Choose the right fit in the breast, not too stretchy or loose.
Tips on buying a push up bra
- The bra stretches easily and stretches on the back. So when you buy a new bra, make sure when you use the bra that has the last (or the outer end) fit on your body and doesn't make your breasts tight.
- It is better you try the bra that will be purchased first. If the cleavage is too narrow, you should choose another size. Use your fingers to get into the breast gap when wearing a bra. If the finger can enter easily, the sign is right. If it's difficult, the sign is too narrow.
- If the breasts overflow out of the cup or there are traces of wire traces on the skin, the sign your bra is too tight.
- Make sure the push up type bra wire is under the breast. Move your body. If the wire or cup moves up, it's a sign the size of the bra does not fit. Look for bras that have no wire or cup moving when you move freely.
