For many people, push-up bras are an integral part of their daily wardrobe, because they conjure up a beautiful décolleté in no time. By the way, wearing them all the time has both positive and negative effects on our body - find out what they are here...

Bras with a push-up effect have probably been a topic for most of us since our youth, because for some they have always been THE secret weapon for a visually larger, plump cleavage and for others a helpful support, which is essential especially for a large bust size. Even though the trend has recently moved more and more in the direction of replacing the useful models with softer, unpadded bustiers or bralettes, or even doing without wearing them altogether, many women still can't or won't live without the supportive underwear. The effect that makes the breast appear larger has much more than just an aesthetic sense, because especially a voluptuous bust is better supported and held. However, besides the benefits, wearing them also has some negative consequences - what exactly happens to your body when you wear push-up bras all the time, we'll tell you now.

1. Your breasts stay in shape and are supported

Primarily, we wear push-up bras to give our breasts support and to make everyday life easier, because especially women with a large bust size know how exhausting and sometimes painful, movement can be without the helpful bra. Models with padding support our breasts from below and bring them into shape. 

2. You get pressure points

When we come home after a long day on our feet, we love to free ourselves from our bra. But when we then look down at ourselves or in the mirror, we may notice unsightly pressure points. Especially on the side, on the back, under the breast or on the shoulders, we discover sometimes painful marks from grommets, straps or the underwire. This may be due to the fact that we have chosen the wrong cup size or the bra is too tight. It is important to seek advice when buying, because often we overestimate the size, so that the bra sits uncomfortably and gives us a tight feeling.

3. Blood circulation worsens

However, besides annoying marks on the upper body that disappear after a short time, a push-up bra can have much worse effects on the body: It can lead to worsened blood circulation, which is caused by too tight underwear! If the bra is too tight and cuts in, it presses on the lymphatic system and squeezes important blood vessels. In the worst case, this can lead to bruising or even breathing problems, which is why the right size and fit are enormously important - especially if we wear the bra often.

4. You don't get saggy breasts so fast

This thesis is much disputed: Some are of the opinion that wearing bras, even promote sagging breasts, because it is said that the chest muscles are no longer stressed. Others say push-up bras can prevent the "sagging" of the tissue. The second theory has already been confirmed by many gynecologists, because especially if you have a large bust size, without wearing a bra, the breast tissue becomes softer and is overstressed. It is then important to find a suitable model that supports the breast sufficiently without being too tight.

5. You can conjure up a plump cleavage for yourself

Last but no least - bras are real wonder weapons and conjure up a beautiful cleavage for us in seconds! Even though every breast, no matter what size or shape, is unique and beautiful, we want to put our bust in the spotlight on certain occasions, with the right bra or make it comfortable and skillfully out of focus.
