5 Myths About Padded Bras
To ensure you're well-informed for your next bra shopping spree, we're here to fill your knowledge bank and debunk myths about the beloved padded bra!
1. Padded Bras Are Push-Up Bras
One myth suggests that padded bras are often mistaken for push-up bras. That's not entirely true! A push-up bra has a distinct feature that sets it apart from other padded bras: it has a special cut with built-in pads that lift your breasts from the sides and underneath, creating the well-known "push-up effect." Our bestseller bra, "Pure," for instance, offers a stunning décolletage even without push-up padding, thanks to its deep neckline.
2. Padded Bras Make Your Bust Look Larger
Hold on a second! Before we delve into this myth, let's ask ourselves why you would want to make your bust appear smaller. Your breasts are fantastic just the way they are, and there's no need for tips and tricks to "camouflage" anything! However, different bra styles can showcase your breasts differently. How much the bra shapes and/or lifts your breasts depends largely on the material. An airy spacer bra, like our "Roxanne," for example, creates a more understated breast shape because its lightweight material doesn't add much volume.
3. Padded Bras Provide More Support
In general, it's safe to say that a well-padded bra also offers reliable support. However, great support doesn't solely depend on padding. Our unpadded bras, such as our balconette bra "Sienna," don't have padding yet still provide the support you desire. In this case, the cups are reinforced with a firm fabric, shaping the breasts beautifully without sacrificing support. The key here is ensuring the bra fits correctly; the cut and size must suit your breasts. When that's the case, support doesn't rely on padding.
4. Padded Bras Never Show Through Clothes
How well a bra shows under tops depends entirely on the cup style! There are seamed cups where, depending on the seam, something might occasionally show through. Then there are molded cups that are completely seamless. These are perfect if you enjoy lightweight or sheer tops or simply a classic T-shirt. A must-have for every lingerie drawer: our T-shirt bra "Evita"! "Evita" features molded cups covered with delicate lace that doesn't show through. So, a T-shirt bra doesn't have to be boring!
