Padded & Push-up Bras — Know the difference
When you go shopping, you come across this common query that almost everyone faces. Well, not everyone is blessed with a full chest, so women have been resorting to push-up and padded bras, but basically their objective is the same. It’s used to enhance the look of your breasts.
But what makes the two different from each other?
In simple terms a push up bra has foam padding at the bottom of the cups to provide a push while a padded bra has pads inserted between cups to give fullness to your breasts along with a smooth look.
Let’s talk about Push up bras first. It’s a simple thing that helps to push your breast up a little higher and helps to give your chest a more rounded look. Women with larger breasts that seem to sag are often seen using push-up bras. A push up bra usually contains a light padding on either sides of the bra that helps to push your breasts upward thus giving your chest look whole.
So what about Padded Bras?
Padded bras usually contain foam padding that helps your chest to look bigger and increase your chest volume. But there’s more to a padded bra than what meets the eye. These also have featured cups with distinctive sizes to help you get the suitable lift and silhouette needed.
So which bra do I choose to wear?
If you have an uneven breast size or a disproportional breast size you can opt for a Padded Bra, although it’s a myth that padded bras are only worn by women who have smaller chest sizes. It can also be used by women with bigger breast size to get a smooth look while ensuring modesty.
A push up bra on the other hand helps to make your breasts look more uniform and round which makes your chest look fuller.
And regarding when to wear or what to wear?
A padded bra can be worn under low cut tops or when you’re wearing form fitted clothing. But if you’re sporting a push up bra, it’s best to team it up with low cut shirts or party wear.
