Plus size bras
Ladies' lingerie stores are loved by everyone, even men. But there is one category of women who often bypasses such stores. We are talking about women with a magnificent bust, because in the opinion of these ladies, finding a suitable bra is a problem for them. In this article, we will try to refute this opinion and teach you how to choose the right garment for women, which is designed to help a woman feel happy and healthy.
Peculiarities
The peculiarity of a large female breast is that it is necessary to choose a bra more carefully for her, taking into account the fact that the breast is heavy, and sometimes shapeless. Every second girl complains about the inconvenience of a bra, and every fourth is not averse to reducing her breasts at least with the help of an operation.
You should always measure your bra! There is no uniform sizing system. In different countries and even for different manufacturers, it is different.
Women's bras will fit comfortably as long as you have the right model and size. And you will miss if you take the same size from year to year. But we do change in weight, so it is better to measure ourselves annually. After all, weight loss or gain is reflected in everything, including the product for the bust.
Another important point: we do not know how the perfect bra should fit. And the perfect fit is the feeling of a bra like a second skin. In it, we feel better, our body is tightened, posture becomes royal.And if we choose a bra that squeezes us tightly in the belt, and the cups are free, or vice versa, it will not sit on us.
Abroad, there is a bra-fitter in women's stores, whose duty is to choose the right underwear for the woman who turns to him. Unfortunately, we do not have such professionals yet. Therefore, we ourselves need to master this wisdom. Curvy women have undeniable benefits. With the right bra, the waist looks like an aspen. The figure is approaching the ideal hourglass shape.
Models
Yes, big breasts have an advantage, but there are limitations too. Not all models will support high volume and weight breasts. Below are the models that are definitely worth taking for obese women.
Closed
The name speaks for itself - they completely cover the chest. The cup of this bra has several seams. In this case, a closed bra can be satin or lace. It is perfect for such breasts.
You should not choose slimming minimizers. They, visually reducing the breast, actually flatten it, as if redistributing the volume. As a result, it turns out that the volume is shifted to the hands and down, all this is also flattened along the plane and something shapeless is created. You are trying to reduce the volume in this way, and it is better to "dress" the breast correctly than to squeeze it.
With molded cup
It perfectly holds even the largest breasts. The shape of the breast becomes beautiful and neat. In addition, it is versatile, suitable for many types of clothing. Bras for a large foam cup are good. It is thin, soft and invisible under clothing.
With triangular cups
The model is suitable for those whose breasts are far from each other.
With low jumper
This bra is ideal for those women whose breasts are close-set. A great option for a dress with a neckline.
Front closure
Perfect solution for women with wide apart breasts. A bra of this shape will help to "gather" it.
For t-shirts, tops
A good option. A bra will help you look neat with any tops and tank tops. Suitable for owners of sloping shoulders, and the straps will not fall off.
You'd better refuse a push-up bra! It is designed for women with small breasts and is designed to visually enlarge it effectively.
With wide straps
The main load is carried by the belt of the bra, and wide straps not only help him with this, but also make the image more harmonious than with thin straps, which, moreover, will dig into your shoulders. Now many brands make foam straps - they are very comfortable.
With bones
A bra without underwire will not work for you because it will not provide sufficient support for large breasts. This is the first thing. Secondly, the bones seem to push the chest forward, helping to shape it.
For large breasts, the "Balconet" model is not recommended, especially if you wear it with an open dress. The chest will fall out with any awkward movement or tilt, you will look vulgar and ridiculous.
Seamless
A great option for full breasts, since such bras can be with a molded cup inside. They will shape the breasts and be invisible under the clothes. Seamless tops are available and are generally used for fitness and home use. For overweight ladies, they have removable cups. Or you can put on two tops at once in the gym to support the chest and during jumping and exercises, the chest will be fixed.
Corrective
The model will not only support your chest, but also correct the lateral part of the body, removing unnecessary folds. It will be possible to wear a tight dress. It is good to wear it as a prevention of mastopathy and mastitis. This is a great supportive bra.
Corset type
The lower part of this model is wide, it gives some support, therefore it perfectly supports a full chest. This bra can be without straps or they can be detachable
Materials (edit)
A bra can be made of cotton, mixed fabrics, lace, embroidered or even transparent, but always with underwire. Seamless bras are usually made of synthetic materials. They are new generation models, breathable, and they feel like a second skin, which is very comfortable.
Silicone bras have practically no support, because they are a kind of cover on the nipples. They are more suitable for small breasts, when you need to wear an open dress. He will not hold a large chest.

How to choose?
In order to correctly measure your breast size, it is better to contact the seller in the store. You need to know two indicators: the size of the belt and the size of the cup. It is necessary to stand while measuring with hands down. The size chart shows measurements for bust and under bust up to 120 cm in volume. There is, for example, size 85J. That is, the largest bra in chest circumference up to 152 cm.
If you buy busts made in England, USA, France, Australia, we give a different size chart. For example, Australian bra sizes are 10-18. Yes, there is no single, unified size chart. Therefore, bras must be measured.
Criteria for the right choice
- Put on your bra and raise your hands in front of the mirror. If the bra belt does not rise, but remains in place, you have chosen the correct size.
- Look at the cup as it sits. If it is wrinkled even a little, the cup is too big for you. If, on the contrary, the breast strives to jump out of the cup, it is small for you. And if you notice that the chest is falling out to the side of the hand, that is, sideways, this suggests that this model of the bust does not suit you.
- Look at yourself in the mirror and notice the bar in front. It should fit snugly against the body. In no case should there be any distance from the body! The bra is slightly loose when used, so it should fit snugly when trying on. Only then will he be able to support your breasts.
- If the straps fall off, it means that the bra is too big for you. Try lowering the straps yourself. If the belt is still sitting like a glove, everything is in order. Most likely you have sloping shoulders. A bust with crisscross straps would work well for you.
- See if the straps are digging into your shoulders. They should be wide enough to be comfortable. If this condition is met, and the straps still dig into the body, the bra in the cup is too small for you, but it is large in the belt.
- Turn your back to the mirror and see how the belt sits on you. It should be straight without upward bending, that is, it should be parallel to the floor.
- If you put your fingers under the belt, he should squeeze them. But if the whole palm fits under the belt, the belt is definitely great for you.
- Look at yourself from the side. Where is the nipple in the bra? The nipple should be upright. If this is not the case, you need to tighten the straps.
- Turn sideways to the mirror and see how the belt lies, whether it lifts up where. It should be level and parallel to the floor along its entire length.
Don't be afraid to wear a synthetic bra. They are now of a new generation, that is, not only wear-resistant, but also breathable, it is not hot in them. The world's leading lingerie brands often use them in their products.
A full breast bra cannot be cheap. And that's why. If you buy expensive lingerie, the quality is much higher.The bra has a more sophisticated and reliable design. Its fabric is more durable. And this means that it will serve you longer, and it will sit well. After all, quality is made up of details. Sometimes just one incorrectly sewn part or line can cause a lot of problems. This does not happen with premium lingerie.
For fitness, take a dedicated bra. They are called sports. Their difference is that they use a special tightening fabric, so during exercise, the chest will not cause you any inconvenience and will not "run away". You can easily run, jump and bend over. These bras are available as cup tops. At the bottom they have an elastic band and wide straps, which is very comfortable.
Remember that you cannot keep your breasts compressed for a long time. Blood circulation is impaired. Therefore, doctors recommend immediately after fitness to change into a bra for every day.
A high-quality bra will serve you for at least a year with regular use, and possibly longer. But of dubious quality - no more than a couple of months. We hope our recommendations will help you. Enjoy the shopping!
