Secrets Behind A Push-up Bra

Published

on

I  know many people have read and heard so much about push up bras but don’t understand just exactly how they work. I thought to bring it to light. But before I explain exactly how a Push-up bra works, I’ll answer a few other essential questions first.

What exactly is a push-up bra? 
A push-up bra creates cleavage and enhances your bust-size by lifting and emphasizing your breasts. The design and structure of a push-up bra is meant to fit snugly under your breasts, lifting them and pushing them forward. Push up bras can come in multiple styles that give you slightly different looks. You might find a padded push-up bra that gives you the appearance of a larger bust, or  a balconnette push-up bra to create killer cleavage in a low-cut outfit. A push-up bra can also make you look slimmer by lifting your bust and creating a better-defined waistline.

Revealed Secrets of a Push-up Bra

  1. Push-up bras are only for small busted women.
    Many women with larger busts wear push-up bras not to create a larger bust, but to enhance their cleavage and get the extra lift that a push-up bra provides.
  2. Wearing a push-up bra can cause health problems.
    The potential problems with push-up bras come when you wear a bra that isn’t the proper size. When you wear an incorrect bra size, any bra can cause health problems, ranging from shoulder and neck pain to headaches, breathing problems and other health issues. Don’t avoid push-up bras because of conceived health issues. Just make sure that every bra you’re wearing is the correct bra size.

The Science behind a Push-Up Bra

Push-ups are meant to enhance cleavage and/or make your bust look bigger. Bras achieve lift with a few different tricks- almost all use padding, which obviously adds some substance to your natural breasts.

The placement of the padding will change where the cleavage is most enhanced: padding in the bottom of the cup, as with a balconette, will give maximum cleavage on top, since it tends to push your breasts upward. Whereas padding that steers toward the lower outside corner of the cup will give more cleavage in the middle as it tends to push your breasts towards the center.

These paddings are usually in the form of inserts that fit into a pocket on the inside of each cup these inserts are sometimes called fillets. These pads or fillets are usually made of sponge or some other material that will give a more natural look and feel. The pads can sometimes be inserted or removed as necessary depending on the look you require. They can help to improve the look of  your cleavage or to help enhance the look of whatever outfit you are wearing.

Moral of the story, different kind of push-up bras can help you create different kind of illusions with your breasts. I hope this article helps you pick one that will suit your needs. I personally prefer the ones pushing your breasts upward and not inward. Let me know which ones you like.

Nigerian Travel Creator Alma Asinobi Falls Short of Guinness World Record Due to Visa Delays

Nigerian Travel Creator Alma Asinobi Falls Short of Guinness World Record Due to Visa Delays

Nigerian Travel Creator Alma Asinobi Falls Short of Guinness World Record Due to Visa Delays

Nigerian travel content creator Alma Asinobi may not be setting a new Guinness World Record for the fastest journey across all seven continents after visa-related delays prevented her from reaching Sydney, Australia, within the required time.

In an Instagram update on Sunday, Asinobi, who is still en route to Sydney, confirmed that her total journey time would be 71 hours and 35 minutes, falling short of the current record of 64 hours, set in February 2025 by American veteran Johnny Cruz Buckingham.

Reflecting on her attempt, she noted that had she been competing against the previous record of 73 hours, set by Indian travelers in 2022, she would have surpassed it. However, multiple setbacks meant that by the time she made her announcement, she had already spent 63 hours, 54 minutes, and 33 seconds traveling, making it impossible to surpass Buckingham’s 64-hour record.

Asinobi faced numerous obstacles throughout her attempt, particularly due to visa restrictions associated with her Nigerian passport. One of the major setbacks occurred when she was denied boarding on her flight to Perth, Australia, forcing her to rebook on a later flight to Sydney.

In her Instagram post, she reflected on the challenges she encountered, including unexpected disruptions such as the Heathrow Airport fire that further complicated her travel plans.

“So close, but so far away. I may not have won this one, but we can sure win the next one together,” she wrote. “My eyes may be swollen from all the tears I’ve cried, but I promise to find moments of laughter in between.”

Despite the setback, Asinobi emphasized that her journey was about more than just breaking a record. She expressed hope that her attempt would inspire others to take on challenges, regardless of the limitations they face.

“When I land, we will catch up on lives and pour our hearts out to each other. For now, let’s finish this! I really hope this attempt was worth something for a Nigerian out there,” she added.

Now shifting her focus to her homecoming event on March 30, Asinobi aims to set another record by gathering Nigerians to sign a national flag in solidarity.

“We still have one more record to break at the homecoming event on March 30, where we will make history by signing our Nigerian flag,” she wrote. “I can’t wait to see you all there. I totally and physically cannot do that one without you, so please show up for me.”

Throughout her journey, Asinobi has been vocal about the difficulties Nigerian passport holders face, including complex visa requirements, expensive travel arrangements, and last-minute flight cancellations. Her experience has sparked widespread discussions on passport inequality and the barriers restricting global mobility for citizens of certain countries.

While she may not be taking home the Guinness World Record, Asinobi’s attempt has garnered widespread support, with many rallying behind her efforts.

“You did win! A personal win, a win for Nigerians, a win for me as a fellow Black girl navigating the world without passport privilege,” one supporter commented on her post.

Despite the challenges, Asinobi remains determined to continue making history and inspiring others to push beyond their limitations.

Those who wronged you may never say “I’m sorry” – Prudent Ludidi

Those who wronged you may never say "I'm sorry" - Prudent Ludidi

Those who wronged you may never say “I’m sorry” – Prudent Ludidi

 

 

Ladies and gentlemen,

Today, I want to talk about something that can be difficult to accept, those who wronged you may never say “I’m sorry.”

 

Those who wronged you may never say "I'm sorry" - Prudent Ludidi

We’ve all been hurt by someone at some point in our lives. And often, we hold onto that hurt, and hope in waiting for the person who wronged us to acknowledge their mistake and apologize.

But the truth is, that apology may never come.

It’s hard to accept because we feel like we deserve closure. We deserve to hear that the person who hurt us regrets their actions.

But closure is not something someone else gives you. Closure is something you give yourself.

You have the power to choose:

Choose to heal, even if they never acknowledge their wrongdoing
Choose to move forward, even if they never make amends

Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting what happened. Forgiveness means releasing the hold that person has on you.

Forgiveness means taking back control of your life.

You don’t need someone else’s apology to move on. You don’t need someone else’s validation to heal.

You are strong enough to do it on your own.

And when you do, you’ll find peace. You’ll find freedom.

Remember, holding onto anger and resentment only hurts you. It doesn’t change the past.

But forgiveness can change your future.

So, don’t wait for someone else to say “I’m sorry.” Say it to yourself: “I’m sorry that happened to me, but I’m moving forward.”

Say it loud and clear: “I deserve to heal. I deserve to be happy.”

Take back your power. Take back your life.

Move forward with courage and faith.

You got this.
