There’s certainly no denial how significant a bra is to us women: It supports and makes our bosom feel comfy, and can instantly ooze a little sex appeal. When your choice bra is no longer supporting your boobs and are thereby making you uncomfortable, it’s either worn out or your twin are in the wrong bra. Here, the 7 types of bras that should be found in every woman’s wardrobe for support, comfort and everything in between. Continue reading and tell us which is missing in your drawer:

 

#1. Demi Bra

 

A demi bra popularly called “half-cut” is so called because of its design. It has partially cut-away cups and also gives great cleavage and a frame-like effect. Although it offers less support, yet enables low cut garments to be worn without the bra being seen.  

Note: For durability, bras should have at least a day off between wearing.

#2. Basic Bra

Basic bra is a woman’s best friend because its seamless, wireless, unpadded, supportive and comfortable. Most ladies do not really fancy the idea of doing house chores in a bra, but with the basic bra around somewhere in the wardrobe, house chores become more enjoyable.

#3. Push Up Bra

Push ups are best worn underneath a V-neck top and it is mostly used as everyday bra by those with small breast sizes and those with separated boobs (i.e. 2 or 3 fingers space in-between the boobs). It pushes up the breast thereby making a small breast seem full. It is a well padded bra, but chokes one if worn to bed. If you’re big breasted, opt for those with less paddings.

Best worn with T-shirts because its seamless, smooth and casual and these features makes it blend easily underneath a T-shirt which is made of cotton. You don’t want your bra lines showing beneath your work wear.

#5. Minimizers

 

Minimizers as the name implies minimizes the size of your breasts by making them look seemingly small. By reducing your cup size, it thereby enhances the fitness and look of certain outfits. Even though you would love to flaunt what you’ve got, learn to keep it low for some occasions. This particular bra type are often times “sarcastically” called “mother care”. So if you would like to get some peoples eyes off your bumper, minimizers should be your choice.

Note: If you are big breasted, opt for bras with wire/plastic side panel, wide backs and sides to ensure your bra stays up.

#6. Convertible Bra

My personal favourite. A convertible can be used both as a strapless (handless) bra and a backless bra. It has a sewn-in silicone stitching along the edges that keeps it in place on your skin, as well as a corseted bottom. With this bra, putting on an off-the-shoulder dress or top just got easier and sexier.

Note: Your dressing determines the best bra option for you.

#7. Sports Bra

A sports bra or bra top as it is fondly called should be worn not only during heavy athletic exercises but also during light walks as this can also stretch and brake down the breast ligament  which will result in a sagging breast overtime.
