Push-up Bras enhance a woman's bust line by creating cleavage and the look of fuller breasts. Designed primarily for C cups and smaller, Push-up Bras are shaped like a demi cup with significant padding at the bottom of the cups.
The cups are angled inward so that the breast tissue is pushed towards the center, thus creating cleavage. An elliptical shaped pad at the bottom of the cup - called the bump pad - is s sometimes removable. Placed on the bottom outside area of the cup, this pad causes your breast tissue to be pushed-up bras and inward. Most push-up bras also have wide-set straps. Setting the straps toward the outside edge of the cups will further assist in directing the breast tissue towards the center to create more cleavage.
A recent design change in push-up bras is a new pad in the shape of a wide "U". This U-shaped pad rests both at the bottom and along the outside just inside the cup. Designers feel this pad design gives more extreme push-up and cleavage. American-Intimate-Apparel has several bras with this kind of padding.

- If you wear a 32E bra, or GG cup bras you can forget this category. But if you're like many women, you enjoy taking what you have and moving it around to create maximum cleavage... at least occasionally. The push-up bras has replaced traditional padded bras. No longer do you need padding to give your bust line a fuller look.
- "Push-up" bras are structured so that the breasts are lifted and placed closer together to enhance the cleavage. The best known brand of push-up bras is the Wonderbras. Many push-up bras contain padding, typically made of foam or rubber, but some contain gel-filled pads. The main distinction between padded bras and push-up bras that incorporate padding is whether the padding is centred under each breast to simply lift them, or whether the padding is centred outside the centre of each breast such that it pushes the breasts inwards.
- Push-up bras create the appearance of increased cleavage using angled cups (which generally have underwires), a variety of types of padding including graduated and cookies, and demi cups. |
