Bras
There are several different types of bras available today from a range of different manufacturers. Here is a list of the different types of bras available.
Balconette Bras
This type is mostly underwired and exposes the top half of the breasts making them suitable for low cut tops.
Bandeau Bras
The bandeau is a strapless band of fabric particularly good for wearing under strapless tops and dresses. Can be underwired or non wired.
Full Support Bras
Especially designed for the larger bust size and offering total support. Straps are generally wider and can sometimes have padding or gel in the straps for comfort.
Mastectomy Bras
For women who have had a mastectomy. They come with pockets in either each cup or one cup in order to put breast prosthesis in.
Minimiser Bras
Minimisers are designed in order to make the breasts look smaller by at least one cup size.
Multi-way Bras
This type of bra comes with straps which can be placed in different positions in order to create a strapless, halter-neck, racer back or standard bra. This allows the freedom of being able to wear different tops without bra straps showing. Clear straps are sometimes provided with this type of bra.
Nursing Bras
This style is for nursing mothers as it allows the cup to be removed in order to feed baby whilst still wearing the bra.
Push-up Bras
Push-up bras literally push your breasts upwards in order to create a cleavage. They can have extra padding or be gel or air filled in order to boost the size of the breasts.
Soft Cup Bras
Non-wired - often provide less support than the wired type. Some people prefer the comfort of non-wired bras.
Sports Bras
Wearing a well fitted sports bra will help to minimize possible long term damage to the ligaments in the breasts caused by the breasts moving around whilst exercising. This applies to all sizes and not just to those with a larger breast size. Wearing a sports bra will also be more comfortable whilst exercising.
T-shirt Bras
These are usually made seam free with thin fabric particularly useful for wearing under tight t-shirts in order to appear invisible.
Triangle Bras
Triangle shaped non wired cups particularly suited to those with a small bust size.
Underwire Bras
Wire is inserted under the cups of the bra in order to give full support to the breasts. This can be either metal or plastic.
