Bra Types

Most every woman knows that there are several different bra types available, but not everyone knows all the benefits each type provides. The type of bra for you will depend on the type of support that you need and the occasion for wearing the bra. In other words, are you going to work, playing sports, going out for a romantic evening and so forth?

Training bras – These are the first bras that girls begin wearing as they are in the early stages of developing breast.

Push up bra – These are the most popular bras because they have padding in the cups. They are designed to help shape the breasts by giving them a lift. You can buy these in full or half cup styles.

Demi bra – The demi bra is a half cup bra that is designed to accentuate the breast when wearing low cut blouses and dresses.

Maternity bras – The maternity bra is designed to give you that added support that you will need during this time in your life. Being pregnant increases your breast considerably and you need this extra support to help your breast from becoming more sore and sensitive.
