Different Bra Types Explained



For most of us chaps women's breasts are something to be admired for their beauty. But when it comes to the lingerie that your partner needs to cover this particular part of her anatomy our eyes tend to glaze over.
If your wife tells you that she is fuller figured or plus size the fog in our minds tends to thicken.
So the next time that you are buying a bra for your wife or partner here's a guide to some of the most popular options that you will find either in the shop or online.

Balcony Bra

A Balcony Bra suits most body shapes and as its name suggests provides a 'balcony' for the breasts to be supported by and hence is quite flattering.
Can be worn with most outfits and is ideal underneath a round neck or low cut top.

Plunge Bra.

A Plunge Bra is lower at the front than a Balcony Bar and tends to push the breasts together and upwards. Hence it's great for enhancing cleavage, which a lot of women really like.

For a plunging V neck top or a low cut top, a Plunge Bra is ideal.

Push-up Bra 

The push-up bra is principally designed to give the maximum uplift and also to accentuate the cleavage.
It's an everyday type of bra and can be worn underneath most types of clothing.


Full Coverage Bra

If your partner asks for a plus size bra she will probably want a Full Coverage Bra. This bra covers the entire breast and sits much higher on the chest and hence shows no cleavage at all.
It's the perfect bra for the woman who has a larger breast as it is fully enclosed and gives great support. So ideal for the fuller figure.

Demi Cup Bra

Similar to a Full Coverage Bra but does not cover the whole breast. They tend to show more cleavage than a full cup bra and hence not give quite the same level of support.
The Demi Cup Bra tends to more attractive and feminine and would probably be worn more in the evenings or for dressing up.

Moulded Cup Bra.

A bra with moulded cups has no seams. This is because they are made from one single piece of material.
This means that they are perfect for wearing underneath really thin material or any particularly close fitting garment.

Multi-way Bra.

Most women have a multi-way bra in their lingerie draw and this is because they are so flexible.
Plus size, large cup size, Teen Bras all of these can be multi-way bras.
The straps are adjusted so that it can be worn either strapless, in a halter-neck style or as a standard bra.
So this bra is ideal for halter-neck tops, strapless tops, crossover back tops or off-the-shoulder tops.

T-shirt Bra 

A T-shirt bra is the ideal Summer bra. The cups are moulded and without seams, which means that it can be worn with T-shirts or any clothing which is made from ultra-thin material.

Padded Bra. 

The most popular choice of bra is a padded one. This will enhance the wearer's natural curves and give a great shape.A Padded Bra is incredibly comfortable to wear and can be worn under many different types of clothing. Typically will give a woman great confidence in her figure.

Sports Bra 

A must have for any lingerie collection. A Sports Bra provides great support but without wire and is made from a stretchy material. This means that it is great for exercise and will move with the wearer. This is perfect for aerobics, jogging and any other active sport.
And if all else fails, just ask your wife or partner!
