Everyone knows that women's beauty is not only a gift of nature, but also the result of using "little tricks": for example, Marilyn Monroe sawed the heels to achieve a sexual gait, Greta Garbo wore special cut jackets to emphasize the chest and waist, and the famous seductress Cleopatra (like other Egyptians of the time) tied the chest with special leather bands to have a beautiful bust shape. It is from ancient Egypt that the history of the push-up bra begins - an indispensable way to improve the shape of the breast without surgery.
What is the push-up effect?
Despite the achievements of the ancient Egyptians, it is believed that the bra with the effect of push-up created in 1964: it had a conical shape and somehow resembled a knight's armor. Thanks to such a bra, the breasts were visually tightened and increased in size, but this was achieved with the help of a rigid frame that was not very comfortable in everyday wear.
A bra with a push-up effect does two things simultaneously: lifts and pulls the chest forward. This is achieved with the help of oblique recesses, a special structure of the sash and pouch bags, which both increase the visual chest.
Today, fortunately, there are many variants of such a bra, and many models are more convenient than old-fashioned ones: there are even seamless ones that are practically not felt on the body and do not disturb blood circulation.
How to choose a push-up bra?
To choose such a bra, you need to determine how often it is supposed to be worn and under what attire. So, for sports, an irreplaceable option is a seamless push-up bra without pits.
If you need a bra under a dress with an open back, then you can use a strapless model with a silicone part on your back that is virtually invisible and guarantees a secure fit.
A super-push-up bra is simply indispensable for those who want to temporarily enlarge their breasts to several sizes and change their shape. Such models have several pads, which can be freely removed depending on what size and shape are needed at the moment. In conventional push-up bras, two pads are proposed from below, most often they are leaf-shaped, and in super push-ups there are several: two semicircle strips and two ovals for upper and lower correction.
The colors of the push-up bra depend, of course, on the range of clothes, but the beige remains a universal color. Black push-up bras are considered to be the most practical: they look stylish and last for a long time, regardless of the amount of wash (if the dye is good quality).
Also pay attention to the composition: so, the push-up gel bra appeared relatively recently, and its difference from the "classic" is that the pads are filled with gel, which gives the breast a more natural shape, unlike foam rubber.
Preference is best given to those models that are made of natural materials: they allow the skin to "breathe", which is a good choice for every day. For special occasions, you can choose bras from synthetic material with the original lace decor: here, first of all, the aesthetic design of the model is more valuable than its convenience.
How to wear a push-up bra?
Some people think that wearing such a bra is not good for health, because of blood circulation disorders, but this is not the case: a well-sized, well-made push-up does not cause discomfort, and is therefore harmless.
One of the best manufacturers of such bras are Victoria's Secret, Chantal Thomass and Agent Provocateur
It should be noted that under the tight fitting clothes choose seamless models, and push-up for summer time is better to choose without strapless or with detachable so that you can wear under tops with open shoulders.
It is remarkable that today women are given such a wide choice of correction of the shape of the breast with the help of the push-up effect, but at the same time, it must be remembered that this model is the best that is comfortable and allows the figure to look natural.
