To use a push-up bra correctly, the first step is to make sure you are wearing the right size. It’s important to get professionally measured in order to ensure a proper fit. Once you have the correct size, put on the bra and adjust the straps so that they are snug but not too tight. Make sure that your breasts are fully enclosed in the cups and that there is no spillage over the top or sides. The underwire should sit flat against your ribcage without digging in, and the center gore should lay flat against your chest.
Next, adjust the push-up padding within the bra to create cleavage and lift. Gently lift each breast into position within each cup, making sure they are comfortably positioned with no discomfort or spillover of breast tissue. If necessary, adjust any additional features such as removable padding or adjustable hooks to achieve your desired level of lift and cleavage.
It’s important to note that contrary to popular belief, using a push-up bra does not change your breast shape permanently; it simply enhances their appearance while being worn. Wearing a push-up bra for extended periods of time can cause discomfort or even pain if not properly fitted.
A less-known fact about using a push-up bra correctly is that maintaining proper care for this type of lingerie is essential for its longevity and effectiveness. Handwashing with mild detergent will help maintain elasticity in both the fabric and elastic bands which will extend its lifetime significantly.
Now that you know how to properly use a push-up bra, I recommend experimenting with different styles and brands to find what works best for you. It’s also helpful to educate yourself on proper bras maintenance tips so that you can keep them in good condition for as long as possible.
Remember: A well-fitting push up-bra can give you confidence like never before.
