Do women with small breasts obsess over bras? Well, yes! In fact, they do so much more than women who are well endowed.
If you have large breasts, you pretty much know the size and type of your assets. So, all you have to do is choose the right fabric, a nice color, and an appealing design. However, things get much more complicated when your breasts are not large enough.
People with small breasts often dread going for bra shopping, simply because they never find something they like available in their size. This may be the reason why most people with small breasts prefer going bra-less, but still there may be times when you want to flaunt that gorgeous wee-bit transparent dress without feeling too exposed.
So, before we delve into some types of bras that are especially made for small breasts, let’s start by taking a look at some of the things you should look for in a bra designed for small breasts.
Look for bra support
It is a well-established myth that only large breasts need support and padding, otherwise they sag over time. Well, this is not true! Small breasts are as affected by gravity as large breasts, and should be well supported on the bottom as well as the sides
Look for spacing between the cups
Based on the body type, there is always some amount of gap between two breasts, and this gap is even more pronounced when the size of the breasts are small. This is something most people tend to disregard; however, it is important you go for a bra where the space between two cups matches the space between your breasts for extra support and comfort.
Look for a good fit
Yes, you read that right! A good snug fit is not just for large breasts. Even if your breasts are small, they need to be covered by a bra that fits well, so that they don’t sag or come out the bottom when you lift your hands.
Look for material
This is a secret not known to many, but different materials of the same bra brand and size can affect the way they fit the same pair of breasts. For example, synthetic fabrics may have a lot of give as compared to lace which might offer a comfier fit. So, if you are targeting a particular size which seems too big for you, go for thick lace or embroidered bras to give you the look and feel you’ve always wanted.
That being said, let’s look at some of the myriad choices of bras especially designed to provide fullness and style to small breasts.
Convertible bras
As we all know, bra shopping can be a huge pain especially if you have small breasts.
So rather than trying to find a bra in your size for different dresses and occasions, go for a convertible that can be used for plunging necklines and modest t-shirts alike. Additionally, convertibles are usually lightly padded providing the right amount of support and shape to your breasts.
Full coverage bras
This is a comfier option for people who are tired of not wearing bras of the proper size, and not being able to bend or lift their arms without their breasts falling out of an ill fitting bra. Choose a full coverage bra that fits like a second skin to your breasts giving you the comfort, shape, and support in a natural, yet sexy way.
Front closure bras
Despite the fact that it has a quite sensual appeal to it, front closure bras are particularly suited for small breasts for multiple reasons. The closure mechanism in the front can provide the right amount of spacing between the cups thus fitting snugly to small breasts. At the same time, the straps are better supported and don’t fall off easily in this case.
Bandeau bras
Of course, every time a traditional bra doesn’t work, and sometimes you might need a strapless bra to carry off a halter or a cold shoulder dress. For people with small breasts, a bandeau bra is the best option in the strapless category. Even here, the material is important, so go for lace with boning on the sides and get ready to rock your party.
Padded bras
If you are a little self-conscious about your size and want to add some extra volume to your breasts, you can choose from a wide range of padded bras. Based on whether you want a natural look or some extra push and volume, you can go for a fully padded bra or a bra padded at the bottom; in any case, padded bras are comfortable, supportive, and not to forget, subtly sexy.
For all those who say, size matters, show them that the way you carry off your size is way more important than the actual size!
