What is a push-up bra?

A push-up, or maximizer, is a bra whose cups are usually reinforced with cushions of foam or gel. These are either sewn in tightly or can be inserted into small pockets to enhance or soften the lifting effect. The push-up bra visually enlarges and shapes the décolleté because the breast is pushed up and into the center. The cushions give additional volume, but are not mandatory. Mostly, the push-up bra is used by women when a beautiful décolleté is desired, for example, with a low-cut evening dress. Also in everyday life, many women do not want to do without a push-up bra, because especially with smaller breasts can be conjured up with it a little more bust.

What is an underwired push-up bra?

Basically, an underwire push-up bra is not much different than a model with underwire.

How do men find push-up bras?

DIY - Can you make a push-up bra yourself?

A classically constructed bra is a highly complex piece of lingerie that requires many steps and meticulous work. Unless you have enjoyed tailoring training specializing in lingerie, producing your own push-up bra is not recommended.

What are the benefits of a push-up with gel inserts?

Gel inserts for bras are usually made of silicone and bring some advantages. Since silicone is very soft, the inserts fit perfectly to the shape of the breast and do not form unsightly bumps or press. Once they have assumed body temperature, they are hardly noticeable and thus offer a high wearing comfort.

Is there a push-up bra for a low back neckline?

Even if the focus of a dress with a low back neckline is on the back, woman wants to present herself well around the front. In this case, multiway bras, which are also available in the push-up bra variant, help. With the help of an extension, the back part of the bra is moved far down without losing effect. It is important to note that this variant is usually worn with shoulder straps, so that the support is still given. If this is not a solution, because the neckline reaches even lower or wider, a glue bra can also be a solution, because it is completely without a back part.

Which push-up bra is the best?

This question can not be answered in general. Because what pleases, fits and works well varies from woman to woman. However, the right size and perfect fit are basic requirements. Of course, this is strongly dependent on the body type and the individual breast shape. It is best to try different models and find the perfect push-up bra for you individually.

My push-up is deformed after washing!

If the push-up bra has deformed during washing, the first step is to investigate the cause. Was the bra washed according to instructions? If not, the fault often lies there. If a bra is washed too hot, the different materials can shrink to different degrees. The result: the good piece becomes deformed. Too high a spin setting also damages the delicate material, as does too much fabric softener. Push-up bras in particular, which are often lined with sewn-in cushions, then tend to become deformed. It is then important to carefully pull the bra back into shape while it is still wet. To prevent this from happening in the first place, you should always follow the manufacturer's washing instructions, always use a laundry net and only spin the bra at a low spin speed. You should avoid using a dryer altogether. If the filling can be removed, then wash it separately by hand. If this is not possible, it is advisable to wash the entire bra by hand.

Is a push-up bra comfortable?

The push-up is perceived by some women as an uncomfortable instrument of torture. And of course, this is not entirely untrue, because to get a nice shaping effect, it is inevitably necessary that the bra fits tightly and may also be perceived as tight. Cut or press therefore but still nothing should. Be sure to get the right size and fit. Do you have the feeling that the bra pinches despite the right size, try a model from another manufacturer. Because depending on the manufacturer, the cuts and shapes of the bras also differ. If you follow these tips, a push-up bra can be quite comfortable and pleasant. Of course, this always depends on the personal sensation.
