Bras for Breasts with Upper Fullness that Won't Give You Quadraboob

Image
If you have breasts with upper fullness (sometimes called full on top) breasts, it can be hard to find a bra style that contains your tissue properly.  Many bras will cut across the top of your chest, leading to the dreaded "quadraboob" effect.  Others will gap at the bottom, because you don't have enough breast tissue at the bottom of your breast to fill out the bra. You can tell if you are full on top by bending over (with the upper part of your body straight and parallel to the floor) and looking at where your breasts fall on your body. If you have more tissue on top, and the nipples are facing toward  your stomach, you are likely full on top. The best bra styles for full on top breasts will have one of several features.  First, a bra with a vertical seam in the cup will help give you more lift and raise your breasts up from the bottom (helping with the gapping).  Next, is a balconette style.  Since there is less material on top, and the neckline is a sw...

Comfortable Lounging and Sleeping Bras You Can Wear All Night or Weekend

Image
There are a number of reasons to want a comfy sleep or lounging bra.  If you're pregnant you may feel sore and want extra support while you sleep.  If you're nursing, a sleep bra can be useful to help keep leaks from getting all over your clothes. Or. you might want a leisure bra because you've had surgery and can't wear your usual bras until you heal. Then there's monthly bloating and tenderness. Your regular bras ride up, the clasps won't close, and you're just plain miserable. In all of those cases, you need some support, but comfort is your number one priority! Or maybe, it's just because it's the weekend or the evening, and you want coverage and stability without the hassle of a full-fledged bra. Note that wearing a bra at night while you sleep will not prevent sagging.  Gravity is gravity. If you want to stay cool and comfortable too, check the descriptions for cotton bras (including plus sizes). Pullover Sleep or Leisure Bras in Plus Sizes Jus...

Best Minimizer Bras for Large Breasts

Image
Having large breasts can be a pain (sometimes literally). One annoying problem is trying to just get dressed in the morning. You try to put on a shirt and your buttons pop. Grab a sweater, and it gets stretched to its limit. To fix it, you'll probably want to get a minimizer bra. The principle for most of them is that they minimize large breasts by redistributing your tissue to make you look smaller. Unfortunately, many of them also end up making you look wider. Not good. The best minimizer bras work more like a sports bra. They encapsulate and lift your breasts, making them look smaller and higher, not squashed or pushed out to the sides. This helps reduce projection, and makes your clothes fit better. These are a great option if you have a large bust and don't want to resort to surgery. No more popping buttons! And, you'll look more proportional. Wacoal 857210 Visual Effects Minimizer Bra This bra's motto is "flattering not flattening!" It's soft, comfor...

Bras that Hide Back Fat and Keep You Looking Smooth

Image
Having rolls of back fat pushed up under your bra is not anyone's idea of attractive or flattering. It ruins the line of your clothes, and just plain doesn't look good. Fortunately, there are bras that are especially designed to smooth back fat and give your clothing a sleek, flattering look. What's the secret? The trick to stopping rolls of fat is choosing bras with wider bands and sides (to keep everything pulled in). Bras made with power net and stretchy fabric help minimize back fat and make your clothes look better. Some even add elastic along the band to adjust for a custom fit. Back fat can be the result of gaining weight or sagging skin caused by loss of elasticity from aging. Some women try to get a larger band size to compensate. This just makes the problem worse because the band will ride up and push up your flesh. It's also uncomfortable, particularly if you're busty, because the band does most of the work supporting your bust. If the band doesn't ...

How to Help Lift Sagging Breasts with the Right Bra

Image
Let's face it, age and gravity, breastfeeding, or even your natural shape can mean that your breasts are not quite where you want them to be. This can also be an issue if you have a large, heavy bust. A bra can't prevent or reverse sagging breasts (you would need surgery for that), but it can help lift them and reduce the saggy appearance.  If you're sagging without a bra, these bras will give you more lift.  One thing though, if you sag even when you're wearing a bra, your band is loose, and the front of the bra pulls away from your chest, it may be time for a new one. High quality bras can last for years if they're rotated regularly (don't wear the same one every day or every other day, give them time to rest), but eventually even the best bra will start to stretch and lose its elasticity.  Once it does, it's no longer giving you the support you need, and you won't feel comfortable wearing it, as it will start to slide around on your body. If you want...
