The bra that best suits you (and II): the filling does not make more chest, the push-up itself
You have already checked the label of your bra and now you know how to calculate your correct size. It is important for comfort and aesthetics. You just need to know the different forms of bra that exist in the current market: preformed, natural, push-up and balconet.
You can feel very comfortable with a balconet but your friend hates that way. Your sister needs a cover glass and the neighbor looks sweeping with a push-up. Each has its preferences but the most common mistake is not having tried any of the available forms.
Do not typecast in one way: try them all, in different models and even different brands. Do not close to the idea of a new bra because you think it will not sit well. You will never know until you see it on. The lingerie industry is more revolutionized than ever: explore without manias or prejudices.
Preformed or filled cup
The typical padded or foam bra has as many fans as enemies: it is a misunderstood cup. Not all padded bras have the same foam thickness nor do they have to make the size increase visually: we leave that for the push-up.
Today the fillings are worn by any type of size, from the smallest to the largest. That filling makes a chest more rounded, firmer and is a fantastic protection for those who mark your nipple a lot. Who said size increases? It is not true, it is just a sensation. You have to decide with the shirt or shirt on: look at yourself. Do you see it bigger or does it just look like it?
Balconet cup or half cup
One of the sexiest bra cup shapes is the balconet or half cup. The chest is well held but the cup covers only half of it, leaving the upper half free. It is ideal for tops with pronounced necklines since this is not what the bra looks like.
It is comfortable? I can tell you yes, and opinions like mushrooms come out saying no. You have to try it. The characteristic of this form is the position of the strips that, by the pattern, are placed very close to the shoulder. The balconet cup joins the breasts but in a natural way, nothing forced.
Envelope or natural effect cup
Those who hate padded bras love the natural effect of the traditional bra. The cup has seams so that the fabric adapts to the chest: it was foam. You do not need it to hold well and give a natural shape. Ideally, they have that elongated seam that runs along the side of the chest, near the armpit. It gives resistance and sublimates the shape.
They are called triangular cup bras and the straps start from the center of the triangle, passing just halfway to the neck and shoulder. Women with sizes and large cups feel comfortable with this shape, pick up the chest very well and feel well attached.
The push-up cut
Eva Herzigova will go down in history with the Wonderbra brand campaign when they launched the push-up bra. The advertising impact was such that today we ask a wonderbra when we want a bra that presses the lateral area to obtain a maximized neckline.
Those are bras that seem to have increased one or two sizes your chest, compressed until your breath is cut. Between the push and the up, my mother! Although it does not have why, most of these go with a foam in vertical form.
If you have a small chest and want to know how your neckline looks with the well-marked vertical stripe, you already know what to wear as underwear. Evening dresses or tops may look better but it always depends on your natural shape and which bra fits best.
Of course you can have several bras in different ways, you will feel more comfortable with one or the other depending on the occasion. If you have a sports one, you are comfortable with him doing aerobics but not going to a pub at night. Each bra has its chance. Long live variety and femininity!
