What Is  Your Body Type?

Everyone has their own unique body type and shape and there’s no point in trying to fight it. Work with your figure and choose push up bras that fit and flatter your frame.

It’s easy to find lingerie that works for you when you understand what your body type is. Are you petite? Small busted? Average sized? Large busted? Plus size?

So, before you go shopping for a push up bra, think about what kind of bra you’re looking for and when you’ll be wearing it.

Are you looking for a bra style that you can add to your every day lingerie rotation?

Or are you searching for a special piece that you can wear for dressier moments?

You can save a lot of time and energy by avoiding bras that don’t fit with your needs and you can focus your attention on the pushups that are perfectly suited to what you’re after.

 Your Pushup Bra Style

Just like clothing, there are bras to suit every woman’s unique style.

Are you a minimalist? Athletic? Ultra feminine? Smoldering and sexy? Or perhaps you prefer classic and beautiful lingerie.

Whatever style you gravitate towards, you can find a pushup bra that stays true to the look you love.

Try:

  • cotton or mesh for a sporty look
  • push ups in smooth microfiber for a minimalist look
  • ruffles and bows for a girlie girl look

Before you get caught up in gorgeous displays or lingerie that's unattainable, take a quick look at how much you have to spend.

 How Much Cleavage Do You Want?

We’ve covered the basics of shopping for a push up, and now we’re getting to the fun part: how much cleavage you want to create. Push ups have the power to offer a subtle oomph or add on entire cup sizes.

If you just want a small boost, look for lightly lined pieces with padding only at the sides or bottom of the cups to lift your natural curves.

If you’re really going for the ultimate impact, choose a push up that’s padded all over with extra padding along the sides of the cups to add major volume to your bust and create unforgettable cleavage.
