Push Up Bras
From LoveToKnow Lingerie
Why Every Woman Needs at Least One or Two Push Up Bras
Push up bras are like little black dresses. Every woman needs one. They do things for your body that make you feel like a woman, make men drool and sometimes even make your clothes look better on. Most push up bras are made of cotton or a satiny material. They have cups that will hold their rounded shape, often with padding in the form of gel or foam cups included for the illusion of a larger chest. Most of them also have underwire added for an extra lift.
If your girls just aren't where they used to be, nobody has to know. Strap on one of the modern push up bras and help your chest defy gravity as if you were eighteen again. Did you know that was possible? Are you running to the door now to make it to the nearest lingerie shop before they close, and before your night out? You should be. Push up bras are heaven-sent.
Working out a lot--especially cardio exercise--can decrease your cup size but leave you with a bit of sagging, wrinkled skin at first. Unsightly, yes; impossible to disguise, no. Yet push up bras can give you the appearance of full, smooth breasts. A shrinking cup size is no excuse to forego the gym in lieu of a frozen coffee drink with whipped cream. There is a solution.
If you can only buy one bra this year, make it a push up. If you can buy ten, make them all push up bras, unless you need a sports bra. They are truly a phenomenon of the lingerie world; a fountain of youth, if you will.
A Few to Try
Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Push Up: This particular one has gel cups for a comfortable, full-chested look. However, there are other styles of the Very Sexy as well as a vast variety of colors.
Fredericks of Hollywood Exxtreme Cleavage: This one comes with removable pads, so you can choose how much your breasts are pushed up. It also comes in ten colors. Matching panties are available.
Fredericks of Hollywood Exxtreme Cleavage Front Close Bra: This one has two benefits--it's easier to snap shut if you're not super flexible, and front close bras seem to give just a bit of an extra lift. With this one, you can remove the cups if you need to.
Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Plunge Strapless Convertible Bra: This one follows the same concept as the regular Very Sexy listed above, but it's lower cut for those plunging necklines on sweaters and halters. It comes with two sets of straps so you can wear it as a halter, a strapless or the traditional way with two straps.
The Wonderboost, Seamless Foam Convertible Push-Up from Wonderbra: This is a seamless classic. It's available in Ivory, Midnight and Nude. It's seamless, so you can wear it under just about anything without the lines showing through. The foam pads are what will make you look your best.
What's Their Story?
Push up bras were inspired by the fashion of the 1930s. We've all seen the pictures of those bras that would hold their pointed shape on a clothesline in a hurricane. Well, those are the bras that introduced the sturdy, more rounded cups found in some of the best bras today.
