The first is that push-up bras are only for smaller-breasted women. This isn't necessarily true. Larger breasted women can benefit from the increased support and lifting action a push-up bra provides, although they don't need one with lots of padding.

Another myth is that smaller-breasted women who wear push-up bras are somehow ashamed of their bodies and want to fake a bustier bosom. Plenty of small-breasted women are very proud of their natural shape, and are happy to wear regular bras or even go braless. However, they might want to wear push-ups on occasions when they want a certain shape under clothing, or when they just feel like wearing one!

Let's Go Bra Shopping!

Before going shopping for a push-up bra, know your bra size. Reports claim that around 80% of women are wearing the wrong size bra. Ill-fitting bras won't provide you with the comfort, support, or breast enhancement you want. You can learn more about bra sizing by searching online resources or speaking with a knowledgeable lingerie consultant. Once you know your size, you'll be ready to find a push-up bra that works for you.
