Rebecca claims that the right bra changes our body and life and makes us happy.

site will show you in detail how to choose underwear so that it perfectly combines comfort and beauty.

How to take measurements

Many women buy bras in the size they want to wear, not the size that actually fits them. And as a rule, this underwear with a cup is smaller than necessary, and the belt is longer than necessary.

In order to understand everything completely, start with measurements. But be aware measurements are just the beginning. Your 75V during the fitting process can turn into both 70C and 80A. And in 65D - too. because Size chart differs from manufacturer to manufacturer. And also because your chest is unique.

Girth under bust

Put your hands down. The measuring tape should go strictly horizontally and fit snugly against the body. It's best to have someone measure you, but you can do it yourself.

Bust

Put on your most comfortable classic bra (not push-up or minimizer). The measuring tape should be placed horizontally and pass along the most protruding points of the chest without pulling it together.

Determine your size using the charts (click to open).

V different countries different designations of sizes are accepted. If you are buying American or French lingerie, please check this chart for size matching.

Our weight may fluctuate, but we still stubbornly buy our favorite 75B. Don't stick to one size. If your weight fluctuates between 3-5 kg, measure yourself again and reconsider your size.

Now you can go to the store. Tune in to the fact that fitting can take an hour and a half.

How to try on

Under bust and bust are complementary. Size C for a girth of 75 cm is different from size C for a girth of 80 cm. How? The larger the circumference under the bust, the wider and more capacious the cup. Keep this in mind when fitting.

Tune in to try on at least 10 bras from at least two different brands. Take classic models with a smooth cup. It can be hard or soft, whichever is more comfortable for you. When you determine the size, you can try on other styles - balconette, push-up, corbeil, etc.

Take the first two models of the size that resulted from your measurements. For example, 75V.

The next two models are smaller at the waist but larger at the cup. That is 70C.

The third pair should be smaller in the waist. That is 70V.

The fourth pair - with a larger cup size. That is 75C.

The last two models are larger both in the belt and in the cup. That is 80C.

Each of the models must be evaluated according to three parameters: belt, cup and straps.

When trying on a bra, fasten the hooks on the far right row(the loosest position). In the process of wearing, the belt, depending on the fabric, can stretch up to 5 cm. That's when the rest of the hooks will be needed.

How the perfect bra sits: a checklist

Belt

But the belt accounts for 90% of the bra support, and only 10% for the straps. The belt should tightly wrap around the chest, but not cut into the body. Raise your hands, lean left and right - the belt should remain in place. The center of the bra should fit snugly against the chest. If the belt is shifting, you need a smaller size.

At the back, two fingers should fit under the clasp, no more, otherwise, half an hour after putting on, the belt will rise up. The correct position of the belt is strictly horizontal. When you first try it on, you may feel that the belt is a little tight - this is normal.

cups

If the cups show wrinkles and creases, the bra is too big, try a smaller cup.

If the cup compresses the chest so that "rollers" are formed on the chest and in the armpits, the bra is small. Take a cup size up.

Bones should be located around the chest - on the sternum and ribs. If the bone is at least partially on the breast itself, you also need a larger size.

Straps

The bra should not only support the chest, but also lift it. Do a simple test to see if your underwear fits correctly. Find the middle between the shoulder and the elbow. It is at this level that the most protruding part of the chest should be. If it is lower, pull up the straps. But remember: they should not cut into the shoulders and lift up the belt on the back.

Check if the straps are too heavy. Let them off your shoulders - the cups may sag a little, but the belt should remain in place.

By the way, the length of the straps needs to be adjusted every day.

Note - breasts should not be lower than the bottom edge of the bra. After all, underwear is just what you need to say no to gravity.

The right bra will help visually lose 3-5 kg.

What else to pay attention to

When deciding to buy a bra with bones or without, know: if your breast size is C or more, additional support will definitely not hurt her.

If the straps fall off, buy a special strap connector that connects them at the back.

If you can't decide on the size, for example 75 or 80, take a bra with large cups and take it to the tailor to shorten the belt.

If the breasts are different sizes, then a classic bra with a molded cup will suit you, which will hide the difference, or a push-up - put a silicone or foam insert in a cup for a smaller breast (they often give an extra one for free in the store). If your bra has pad pockets, you can remove the pad from one pocket and put the extra pad in the other.

If you have a broad back and a small chest, be guided by the size of the cup, even if the belt is too small. It is enough to buy a clasp extension (bra-extender), and the problem will be solved.

Rounded and taut shapes human body were always in fashion. looking at portraits female images from the depths of centuries, we can conclude that at that distant time the ideal female beauty was a middle-aged woman with a very prominent body shape. Since the end of the 20th century, the mass propaganda of the fashion for thinness has greatly changed the existing standards of the ideal in men's and female figure. Anorexic little girls with sunken eyes and a flat figure for many years have taken a leading position in the world of fashion and among lovers of well-dressed. Many young girls, striving for such ideals, ruined their health.

Although if you look at world celebrities, not all of them strive for this kind of "fashion". In the photo, each star is depicted with very appetizing forms, whether it be luxurious breasts or toned buttocks. Such an impressive effect can be achieved if you choose the right underwear with a push-up effect. What is it and how to wear it? First of all, it is worth saying that in translation from English such an expression means "pull up". It follows from this that underwear with such a name should lift and tighten certain parts of the body.

Push up bra - what is it?

The most common push-up underwear is bras. The chest in such a bra looks much more seductive than in underwear of a regular cut. Such a model is especially popular among women with small or small breasts. Using the push-up effect, you can visually enlarge your breasts by literally 1 size. The wonderful possibilities of such underwear are explained by the presence of additional foam, gel or silicone inserts. They can be either removable or sewn into the base of the bra. The maximum result can be achieved precisely in the second option, when a special material occupies most of the cup of the push-up bodice. The photo presented in the article proves that it works wonders. The entire main part of the bra is evenly filled with silicone, foam rubber or gel, and this is what replaces the natural bust.

Women's and men's briefs

And there is also a linen bottom with a push-up effect. What it is and how it works, we will describe below. Here we are talking more about the need to lift the buttocks and slightly increase their volume. The emphasis is on lifting the priests, as sagging forms do not look sexy. Push-up briefs are much less in demand than bras. This is primarily due to the active attention of men to female breast, and not the bad properties of push-up shorts. The buttocks in this underwear are noticeably rounded, so pumping up the priests with the help of physical activity is almost impossible. By the way, today on the shelves of lingerie stores there are push-up briefs for men. Inserts from fillers are located in front, almost at the very bottom of the trunks. This allows you to visually increase the size of manhood. In the production of such swimming trunks, silicone and gel are mainly used, since such an innovation is especially in demand in models for the beach and pool, where the man is as naked as possible. Foam rubber absorbs water well and strongly draws underwear, which is why it is not used in the men's industry.

Push-up tights

What is it, shapewear or compression stockings? Push up - pants for women, designed to lift the legs. In this case, the load is distributed from bottom to top, but in compression models, the load goes evenly to all areas of the legs. In leggings or push-up tights, you can model your forms: remove the stomach, tighten and lift the buttocks, hide the "ears" and cellulite. At present, almost all manufacturers women's tights release models with a push-up effect. Sometimes they allow you to remove one thing, for example, the stomach, they remove extra centimeters in the press area. You can also find universal models, they correct all the shortcomings of the lower part of the female body.

Cosmetics

Today, the concept of "push up" is widely used by cosmetics manufacturers. Push-up mascara adds volume to the eyelashes, gloss lipstick visually enlarges the lips, and hair products add extra volume to the hairstyle.

If nature has not endowed with magnificent breasts, there is no reason to get upset and hide your feminine figure under hoodie outfits. A bra with a push-up: what will they not come up with so that a woman feels more attractive and confident, and this, after all, plays an important role in her life? So, a properly selected bra can not only hide the flaws of the bust, but also emphasize its advantages. And, of course, everyone has them. The main thing is not to make a mistake in your choice.

Choosing a push-up bra

So, before moving on to a careful consideration of all the nuances in choosing this delicate underwear, it is important to note that underwear of this type is a bra with an effect referred to as a “push-up”. In the cups there is a massive foam, helium or silicone filler, due to which the breast visually increases in size. At the bottom of the cups are inserts made of plastic or metal.

The most interesting thing is that such lingerie is popular not only among girls with the first size, but also among busty ladies. Who doesn't want to highlight their natural wealth? With the help of "pushup" the chest does not sag, its roundness is moderately emphasized. Moreover, body proportions become close to the ideal beauty of every woman.

This bra is suitable for dresses with, erotic costumes.

At the same time, its undoubted benefit is that after childbirth it helps to avoid the occurrence of stretch marks.

So, if we talk about the choice of fabric, then ideal option will become coolmax. This modern material, which is famous not only for its elasticity and beauty, but also for its ability to perfectly ventilate and repel any moisture.

Everyone knows that a properly selected bra does not press, squeeze the chest and does not make it difficult to breathe. In addition, he should not “walk” while raising his hands.

Push-up bra models

In the fashion world, the following classification of underwear of this type is distinguished:

• level 1. Equipped with a soft cup, this push-up bra is more suitable for teenagers. It slightly lifts the mammary glands without squeezing the chest;
• level 2. Classic lingerie with removable cups with volume effect. Here you can independently adjust the increased size of the breast;
• level 3. Helium filler is used. He lifts his chest and brings it closer;
• level 4. The double push-up bra is not for girls. The foam insert makes the chest not one, but two sizes larger.

The reasons for the popularity of push up bra models are obvious. This is the key to a beautiful and harmonious figure, this is self-confidence, these are admiring male looks.

Push-up bras (push-up) - according to some studies - are among the five most important inventions of mankind.

For example, in 2007, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC-TV) presented the results of an Internet poll in which Canadian respondents rated Wonderbra (the company that invented push-up bras) as the fifth most important Canadian invention.

In 2008, a poll of 3,000 women in England showed that they considered the invention of the push-up bra to be the biggest event in fashion history.

The word “push up” itself comes from the English “push up”, literally translated “push up”. The visible effect of using such a bra is the creation of volume and a deep neckline. In addition, many clothing models fit perfectly on the figure with push up bras.

But it turns out that such an appetizing neckline significantly affects the self-esteem of women. Psychological experts assured that a properly selected bra gives a lady self-confidence. University of Manchester Professor Geoff Beattie conducted a study (on 60 women aged 20-55) and proved that bras that visually increase breast volume increase women's self-confidence and their sexuality. The result of the study showed that ladies who wore push-ups smiled 73% more often, and 63% less likely to non-verbally demonstrate self-doubt.

Today, there are three main types of push-up bras:

Classic push-up bras have cups with an adjustable push-up level, that is, pads can be removed if desired.

Push-up with a sewn-in pad (most often it is a gel filler), which collects and lifts the chest high (usually the chest visually increases by 1 size).

The so-called double push-up with an insert that increases the chest by 2 sizes. (Sometimes such models are called super push-up, or 3D)

The secret of visual breast enlargement and volume is in a special cut of the bra. Firstly, in rigid cups with underwire, with a diagonal or T-shaped undercut, which provides support and makes the chest more rounded. Secondly, the shape of the cup is most often close to a triangle that opens the chest from the inside (this is how the effect of a beautiful neckline is achieved), and thirdly, in the linings (pads) installed at the bottom of the bra cups. It is they who raise the chest up and sideways, towards each other. The patented oblique cut of the bra cup creates an image of a magnificent breast, which, in fact, is “pushed out” by the lining.

The most popular fabrics for push up models are satin and cotton, and pads of special shape and composition give a unique shape.

When choosing a push-up bra, you must follow simple but useful rules:

1.Choose a push-up bra that is comfortable for you. Some push-ups have hard metal or plastic underwires that can damage the skin and cause discomfort. Cotton push-up bras with padded pads are usually the most comfortable.

2.Choose a push-up that fits well. Before buying, be sure to determine your size, and among the bras with your size, choose the one that best suits you. The chest should not be compressed, and the bra should not create discomfort and cause pain. Get exactly the model that best suits your breast shape.

3. Choose the bra that best suits your clothes. Push-up bras come in all styles, including strapless, with open back, with half-cups. The first option is more suitable for a dress, and the latter is more suitable for V-neck blouses.

4. Choose a push-up bra, depending on its support. Some push-ups have air cushions, water cushions, or super-volume, while others create a push-up effect without pads due to the cut and bone. Some women find the pads redundant and prefer the built-in underwire to create shape, while others find the underwire uncomfortable.

5. Choose a push-up that looks attractive and aesthetic to you. Push-ups are made in a wide variety of styles and designs, some are simple, others are very intricately decorated with braid, lace and rhinestones. The simple style is of course more suitable if you prefer t-shirts or tight tops.

The history of the push-up bra is interesting. The first bras with special pads for the chest, which gave volume, were developed by the American company Maidenform in 1935. At the same time, Israel Pilot improved the cut of the bra (the cup of the bra began to fit snugly against the body) and registered it a little later.

The cut was called "oblique" These bras were produced under the Wonderbra brand, and for a long time the brand name was almost synonymous with push-up bras. A low-cut bra lifts and brings one breast closer to the other. The main feature of this bra is a large number of details (about 44). The T-shaped design and corrective liners, consisting of a special linen polyamide mousse, allow you to visually enlarge the chest.

But not so long ago it turned out that the push-up bra is much older than expected. An exhibition was held in England, where a 200-year-old push-up was demonstrated.

Can we imagine what awaits us in the fashion world in another 50 years? And what exactly in the same 50 years will women call the most important invention in women's clothing? No, but you can be sure that seductive lingerie items in the top five will definitely be present :-)

Modern women attach great importance to the beauty of their breasts. Regardless of the volume and size of the breast, you always want it to be toned, seductive, to attract the admiring glances of the opposite sex. Unfortunately, due to many reasons, the breast loses its elasticity, becomes flabby, sags. This, you see, does not look attractive at all. What leads to the loss of former forms? It is, first of all, age. The fact is that with age, the muscles of the chest become weaker, they are no longer able to support the chest as before. The reasons for the deterioration of the shape of the breast include pregnancy, as well as the subsequent feeding of the child. During pregnancy and lactation, an increase in breast size can be observed, and when a woman’s milk disappears, the breast shrinks again, while losing its elasticity.

Many women are concerned about the question of how to restore the breasts to their former seductiveness and elasticity. There are several means. For example, this is a surgical intervention. Of course, the result will be noticeable almost immediately, but this method there are a number of significant shortcomings. Firstly, the operation is not indicated for all women, due to the state of health. Secondly, it is a difficult postoperative period. And finally, no one can guarantee that the operation will go as expected and the result will be the way you wanted.

The second way is regular training of the chest muscles. Nobody disputes that physical activities are simply necessary both for the whole organism as a whole, and for the pectoral muscles in particular. However, the first results will be noticeable only after a long time of enhanced training. But what if you need beautiful forms not in a month, but today?

In this case, there is only one way out - the use of special bras that lift the chest, visually make it more toned, and therefore beautiful. Push-up bras are suitable for women with small breasts, as well as owners of magnificent forms. A small breast acquires additional volume, visually becomes larger. But if you have breasts of 3 sizes or more, you simply need such a bra. He will lift the chest, give it a seductive shape. However, what makes push-up bras so effective? The fact is that they are equipped with special silicone tabs necessary to give the breast the desired shape.

Before and after

Now let's talk about how to choose the right push-up bra that is right for you. First, it's important to remember that not all bras are the same. There are models without straps, models with and without underwire, bras with various fillings, such as silicone, paralon.

The first thing you should pay attention to is, of course, the quality of the product. Remember that even the most beautiful bra made of low-quality materials will soon lose its shape and appearance. Which means you're just wasting your money. Therefore, it is necessary to choose only those models that are made according to all the rules, and only from high-quality material.

Next, the bra should fit exactly to your size. Here you should pay attention to the volume under the bust, as well as the size of the cups. Remember that if the bra is too big for you, you will not get any effect of a tightened chest. A too tight bra causes discomfort, as well as health problems.

Now let's figure out which bras with which tabs are best. There is no definite answer here. You should be guided only by your preferences. Although, in my opinion, gel tabs are more comfortable and look more natural.

Currently, there are seamless push-up bras. And they are becoming more and more popular. The fact is that such underwear will be imperceptible even under tight clothes, and it is much more convenient to wear it. Suppose you often wear sleeveless clothing. In this case, you just need to purchase a strapless model.

And most importantly, remember that underwear, including a push-up bra, should be, first of all, comfortable.
