Expert Fitting > T-Shirt vs Padded Cup Cups
|
So you can’t seem to find a bra these days without a
padded cup you say? Not true!
|
This frustration is actually a common misconception among
many women; it’s time that we help by sharing our expertise.
Knowledge is power after all! Okay, a padded cup is indeed
molded with a pre-shaped contour lining built into the cup, but
it has a little more too. Some padded bras offer padding
throughout the cup while others offer a graduated cup, meaning
they are padded in the bottom and start the cup for you, thereby
offering you a push up in order to maximize your breast tissue.
This push is particularly helpful for those ladies who have
smaller busts and for those women who are seeing the effects of
gravity and time on their silhouette.

Now, it is also a common misconception that when we speak
about gravity, and the bust falling, most women imagine that the
bust is actually falling down. This is just not so. As the bust
becomes affected by gravity and time, it becomes shallow, and
gradually loses the top round definition that we all seek to
replace. It is very similar to what happens when you open an
oven door too early while baking a cake. The cake falls in and
becomes slightly concave. While imagining your bust as a concave
cake is certainly not the most pleasant information to impart,
it is important for you to know as it is actually very common.
The good news is that we can easily provide you with some
fabulous solutions.

On the other side of the padded bra coin are T-shirt
bras. While seeming to be the same in appearance as bras
with the lower cup or overall padding, they are in fact
very different. They too offer molded, pre-shaped
contour lining built into their cups, but most women
mistakenly refer to them as being padded bras. They are
NOT padded bras! T-shirt bras offer smooth seamless cups
that are pre-formed to allow for a more uniform shape
and appearance when wearing t-shirts and jerseys. When
being fitted for a t-shirt bra, it is essential to fit
to your larger side if you have any asymmetry (meaning
any difference in the size of your breasts). Some women
have as much as a full cup size difference between their
breasts; a common example is when one side fits a B-cup,
while the other fits a C-cup. The reason we must always
be sure to fit to that larger side is because otherwise
you will see the inevitable bubble-over that looks like
an extra breast under a shirt. We cannot have that!

Now, with T-shirt bras it is also important to know that the
support is coming primarily from the cups. For this reason, the
center of the bra needs to sit flat to your chest bone and the
band around your back needs to anchor in place to properly lift
the front. Many women will also find that the width on the sides
of a T-shirt bra tend to be smaller and this can lead to side
tissue spill over. The trick to minimizing that is to try the
pre-selected styles in our inventory; we have many, carefully
researched and tested options to make you look and feel your
best.

In the past few years, a new item has also become available:
a simple cup liner. The accessory liners offer the same uniform
shape, appearance and modesty factor that a t-shirt bra offers,
and they conveniently fit into non-contour lined cups. More
traditional non-contour cup bras tend to have wider sides, and
therefore more support, to help decrease the possibility of side
spill-over. For some women, this traditional bra really offers
the best fit,so by adding the cup liners, they nowcan have the
very best of both worlds.
