Pushup Bra

Types of Bras

The Pushup bra...
A question that's often asked about the different types of bras is - what is the difference between a pushup bra and a demi bra ?

To understand the difference between these two favorite brassieres, we need to understand what each one is and what each one does.

First, let's take a look at demi bras and where the word demi comes from. The word "demi" is French in origin and is (pronounced dihmee). What does it mean? It translates as half or small.


Demi cup bras are also known as half bras or half cup bras since they support and cover the bottom half of the breast, and show a great deal of the top half.

These small or petite bras are ideal for women with a smaller bustline and a great option for lower cut and daring necklines

And, at last we come to the ultra popular push up bra also known as the miracle bra.

Push up bras are strategically designed brassieres that push the breasts up and forward giving the wearer a more exaggerated cleavage.

These padded push up bras further enhance the bust size and create more cleavage by literally pushing the breasts together and upward.

Compared to the demi bra, push up bras are considered to be a Ferrari, the intimate apparel equivalent of exotic lingerie.

Made of silk, satin or lace, they are ultra sexy and usually kept only for special occasions.
