Push Up Bras

What Is a Push-up Bra?

A push-up bra is a regular bra, but with enhanced angled padding. The extra angled padding fits under the breasts to push the breasts inwards and upwards. This gives your breasts a more visually appealing look and symmetrical appearance. It has been scientifically proven that men are attracted to symmetry and a good push-up will make you look better while feeling more confident at the same time.

Push-up bras are designed to be worn sparingly and should not be worn every day while doing basic tasks. For instance, do not wear a push-up bra if you are going to work out. A push-up bra does not give the type of back support needed for working out and could cause you problems in the long run. Push-up bras are for purely making breasts look more attractive and should not be used for support.

Push-up Bra Levels

When you purchase a push-up bra, you need to think about what level of push-up bra you want. There are levels 1, 2, and 3.

Level 1

Level 1 has more coverage and covers the entire breast. This can be good if you wear a t-shirt and just try to make people curious about what you have got underneath the shirt.

Level 2

Level 2 has medium support but still does have an underwire. This would be appropriate if you wear a sexy dress and want just a little boost to your breasts.

Level 3

Level 3 shows the most cleavage. This level is great for the bedroom with your partner or if you are still trying to attract a man or woman. This level allows the top of your breasts to be visible and they will have that perfect cleavage line that makes men drool.

Do Men Find Push-up Bras Attractive?

Yes, men do find push-up bras attractive. Not only men but women also find push-up bras to be sexy. Even if your breasts are smaller, wearing a push-up bra can enhance your breasts’ appearance and make them look bigger than they actually are. Let’s face it, most men love cleavage.

Push-up bras appeal to men because they make your breasts more noticeable and a rounder shape. To really attract men or women, wearing half or demi cups are a great option because the cup does not cover the whole breast, just the bottom of your breasts.

This is great for when you are making out with a partner, and they like to take a sneak peek at the top of your breasts.

While most men and lesbian women love push-up bras, some simply do not. Some prefer the all-natural feel when they are going under your shirt. This means a push-up would not be your best bet. Push-up bras have a lot of padding and some men or women would rather have a had full of real breasts over a hand full of padded bra.

Keep in mind this while shopping for bras because it can make a big difference in your sex life.

If you are not worried about your partner and are just looking for a good self-confidence boost than a push-up bra may also be for you! You may not even have a partner and want to feel overall more attractive, then go for it! Push up bras can give you that extra boost of confidence at a bar or even while wearing a perfect dress that you wanted to feel even better in!

Is It Harmful to Use a Push-Up Bra?

Health is a concern for everyone in today’s world. If you are wearing the correct size push-up bra, you should not worry about any health concerns. However, if you are wearing the incorrect size, then it could be a recipe for disaster.

1. Formation of Lumps.

The formation of lumps in the breast tissue can be common with push-up bras. Push-up bras restrict the lymph liquid in your breasts and also restrict the lymph glands themselves. This leads to the formation of lumps, cysts, and fibrous tissues. We all know that finding a lump can be scary as a woman, but make sure to consult a doctor before panicking because not all lumps and bumps are cancerous.

2. Increased Chance of Breast Cancer.

As said, not all lumps are cancerous, but constantly wearing a push-up bra can lead to an increased risk of cancer. Push-up bras unnaturally change the breast’s shape and apply constant pressure to your breast tissue that is not meant to be there.

The constant pressure restricts blood flow throughout the breast and causes a lack of nutrients and also more toxins in the breast because the pressure does not allow the toxins to exit. The toxins can then result in cancerous tissues.

Make sure to give yourself monthly breast exams. This will give you the benefit of noticing any lumps in your breasts right away so you can get them checked and have an eased mind.

3. Decreased Melatonin Levels.

Do you wear your bra while sleeping? If so, you shouldn’t! I always knew it was uncomfortable to wear a bra while sleeping but did not realize it can cause issues with your melatonin levels. Think about it; melatonin is distributed throughout the body via your blood. Push-up bras lead to a reduction in blood flow.

Therefore, wearing a push-up bra while sleeping can cause a lack of melatonin to the brain and can make it more difficult to fall and stay asleep throughout the night. The purpose of sex is to take all of your clothes off, right? So, make sure throughout the night your sexy bra comes off as well!

4. Altered Shape of Your Breasts.

Gravity is there for a reason. Wearing a push-up bra goes against the law of gravity and, in return, will alter the long-term shape of your breasts. The push-up bra pulls on the soft tissue of your breast and can cause sagging if used daily.

It can also cause just your nipples to be shaped downwards instead of straight. Again, make sure you take a break from the bra and let your breasts breathe once in a while!

Overall, this list can be pretty scary, but remember, these problems only come into play if you are wearing the wrong size bra. Surprisingly, most women are. If you see indentation lines after removing your bra or have constant back problems, then you may want to look into a bigger size. In order to avoid these issues, it is recommended that you get professionally sized for your bra.

You can do this at any lingerie store, such as Victoria’s Secret. Once you obtain your true size, you can then order bras online or at any other store that is convenient for you. Please remember that all brands have different sizing and to always keep a receipt while shopping, even online.

If it does fit like your fitted push-up bra, you can swap out the bra to your correct size. Never settle for a size that does not fit perfectly!

Where to Buy Push-Up Bras From

Push-up bras are available at almost every major clothing store, boutiques, sex stores, or online. Remember that with any bra purchase, pricing does match quality (I know this from experience). If you purchase a push-up bra from, let’s say, Walmart, you may spend only $20, but after a few weeks, the bra will start to lose shape.

I have even had underwire start to poke out after a short wearing time. This is something you do not want to experience, especially if you are out in public! There is nothing more annoying than being stabbed by a wire in your breast and not being able to fix it!

On the other hand, if you purchase your bra online, or at a lingerie store, you will pay more, but your bra will also last longer. The higher the price, the higher the quality. A good push up bra can last you for years if it is taken care of properly. If you buy a few you will be good to go in the bedroom and will be able to switch out your bras every other day to make sure they do not lose their support.

Buying a variety of push-up bras can also be great for role play or to fulfill other fantasies. For instance, do you have a fantasy of being in all leather while your man or woman goes down on you and has their complete way with you? Then a good leather bra can be the perfect piece for starting to fulfill your fantasy!

How to Clean a Push-Up Bra

Speaking of being taken care of properly; it is important to wash your push-up bra according to the instructions on the label. If there are none, you can follow a few basic rules to ensure that any bra will hold its shape and last as long as possible.

Remember that you can use a bra for a few days before washing it, but it is important to give your bra a break that way it does not lose its elasticity in the bands.

Hand Washing Your Push Up Bra

The best way to wash your bra with being reassured that it will not get ruined is to hand wash your bra. Put a small amount of detergent in a sink with cold water and let your bra soak for about 30 minutes. Then lightly hand wash the bra, rinse well, and let hang to dry.

This method will ensure that the bra will not lose its shape in the washing machine. Make sure to use a detergent without bleach. They even make special lingerie detergent if you prefer to use that!

Washing Machine

If you are running short on time and cannot handwash your bras, using the washing machine is the second-best option. Ensure you do not wash your bras with other clothing items unless they are delicate, such as other undergarments. Put the washing machine on delicate mode and make sure you put your bras in a mesh bag.

Double-check the clasps on your bra to make sure they are hooked together. I have ruined all too many bras by not doing this, and the clasps would break by attaching to parts of the washing machine. Again, wash your bras in cold water, so they do not lose their shape and use the correct detergent.
