Push Up Bras: Facts and Figures

Of all type and styles of bras, the most sought after is the push up bra. These bras lift the breasts and with their unique padding give shape to them. In addition, manufacturers have come out with the innovative idea of filling the bra cups silicone insertion, water sacks or mixture of oils and water that fit into a pocket inside each cup. They are called "fillets" and are meant to give the breast a fuller and natural look by adding size. Moreover, you can remove and insert the fillets as you desire. In addition, the push up bras facilitate in showing off deep plunging, stylish cleavage. Their unique and improved fabrication prevents pilling on the cups. They are designed for low cut dresses and revealing fashion statements.

Push up bras come in different designs. Some are half- cupped. They generally cover half of the breast giving them a bare-minimum covered look. Best for showing off a plunging and revealing neckline, these push up bras give maximum support with maximum exposure.
The full coverage bra covers the breasts completely. You can choose from push up bras with or without under wire. Push up bras can be categorized as demi cup bras, full coverage bras and padded bras.
