| Padded bras, unlike push-up bras, have padding throughout the cup, not a graduated padding that has more fill on the bottom of the cup. There are several different materials used to make padding, including cotton, gel, fiberfill, water and flexible foam. Regardless of material, a padded bra will create a perkier shape and the appearance of larger breasts. Padding is often combined with an underwire to give maximum support. Underwires are usually padded for comfort as well. Underwire bras are recommended for larger breasts, but also benefit women with smaller breasts, providing lift and separation. Padded underwire bras are available in virtually every style and size. One wardrobe staple is the underwire t-shirt bra, with padding for shape and modesty. But there are bras with padding and underwires for everything in your wardrobe. Styles include seamless bras, strapless bras, demi-cups, longlines, front-close bras and racerbacks, among others. The combination of underwire construction for support and padding for shape makes this type of a bra a must-have in your lingerie wardrobe. |
