How to recognise your bra styles & shapes!!!!!!!!

March 1, 2011 - PRLog -- Balconette bras are very similar to half cup bras apart from they tend to cover a little less of the breast.

Balconette bras are a very popular choice as they seem to suit almost all body shapes, they only reason to avoid them is if you havea really large bust.



FULL CUP BRAS ARE THE PERFECT EVERY DAY BRA FOR YOU LADIES WITH A BIGGER BUST. FULL CUP BRAS COVER THE WHOLE BREAST WHICH PROVIDES A GREAT SHAPE AND FIT. THEY ALSO USUALLY COME WITH THICK SUPPORTING STRAPS WHICH ARE A MUST WHEN YOU’RE BIG BREASTED AS THIS WILL GIVE THE SUPPORT NEEDED, HELP WITH POSTURE AND REDUCE ANY BACK ACHE PROBLEMS.




Half Cup Bras bras are also known as demi cup bras. They cover around ¾ of the breast stopping just above the nipple for a really sexy look but also giving needed support.

Half cup bras usually have molded or shaped cups which provide support, not as much as a full cup bra but usually enough.



Minimiser Bras are as you’ve probably guessed made to help minimize the look of your breasts. They are great if you’re big up top and seem like they were made for apple shaped ladies.

Minimiser bras provide support and full coverage of the bust, they are great for any occasion whether it’s a walk to the park or out to a posh meal. They give the breasts a smoother more appealing shape.



Padded Bras are a lot like push up bras, other than that their name is pretty much self explanatory.

Padded bras give lift, shape and support. They come in various thicknesses so you could buy two padded bras from the same shop and they both give different appearances. Make sure you find the thickness that looks and feels best for you before you buy.



Plunge Bras are great, they come in various styles making them suitable to all sizes and body shapes. The main job of the plunge bra besides give lift, support and shape is to create an amazing cleavage.

Whatever body shape you are you can’t go wrong with cleavage this is most probably why the plunge bra is so popular.




Push Up Bra are defiantly a sexy bra, they provide lift and add fullness giving the appearance of a great natural cleavage.

Push up bras are similar to padded bras yet push up bras have a little more padding in different areas, however the padding is not permanently fixed in place so depending on the occasion it can be added or removed.



Sports Bras  are the basic essential for any lady who enjoys exercising or spends time at the gym. Sports bras help to keep your breasts in place when taking part in energetic sporting activities along with providing support and keeping bounce to a minimum!

Sports bras come in various shapes, styles and supports. Anybody of any shape is sure to find one to fit them properly and feel comfortable in.



Strapless Bra is basically as its name suggests a bra without straps! Strapless bras come in different styles its most common shape is the Balconette, occasionally strapless bras are seen in Full Cups too.



The Triangle Bra are pretty self explanatory. Triangle bras are different to most bras and have unique cups that are simply triangle shapes of fabric similar to those of some bikini tops.

Triangle bras can be very sexy as the fabric tends to be thin and slightly transparent showing what’s underneath. Laces and silks are often used to make triangle bras.


Underwire Bras  come in all styles and sizes, they are designed to give extra support and shape. As the name suggests any bra that has a wire running under each cup is classed as an underwired bra.


Underwired bras are best for ladies B cup and above. Apple shaped figure will benefit from the support underwired bras give but should go for none or lightly padded ones being careful not to make the breasts seem larger.
