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
- 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. - 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.
