    Get professionally fitted at a local lingerie store so it is the right size. Then, wear a v-neck top to make sure everyone sees the hard work you’ve put into looking great!

  • Question

    A push-up bra is a bra that lifts and enhances the breasts. I recommend sports bras and lightly padded bras for teens.

    You could get a silicone 'chicken fillet' designed for use in bras, and use it on the smaller side.
  • Question
    I bought a push up bra when I was out shopping with my friend, and my mum doesn't know. I don't know if she will take it from me. What should I say when she asks me about it?
    Community Answer
    This is a touchy question. I would suggest trying it out and wearing it under a shirt and a fluffy or loose coat. See if it's even comfortable enough for you to justify wearing it normally. I would personally suggest staying away from push-up bras until you're older and more capable of making these kinds of choices about your body.
  • Question
    How do I make my breasts larger so I can wear a push-up bra?
    Community Answer
    Push-up bras are best for smaller breasts, as the padding and construction help to enlarge cup size. The important thing is to measure yourself or have your bra fitted so you have the correct size. Also, try your bra on before purchasing.
  • Question
    Is it okay to have a little room in my push-up bra if my breasts are small?
    Community Answer
    It's better to get the correct size bra with enough padding. Otherwise, it will not support your breasts and give you the look you want. Find your correct bra size by measuring yourself or with a fitting. Try several bras on and purchase the ones that fit you well.
  • Question
    Can I wear a pushup bra every day, 24 hours a day?
    Community Answer
    While you can, it is not recommended. Since wearing it constantly can be harmful to your long-term health, such as causing skin chafing, causing skin tags, stopping you from breathing properly, cinching your chest too tightly, etc., take it off for bed each night and sleep liberated. And shower without it on too!
  • Question
    Does the adhesive work again and again when wearing a push-up bra?

    Community Answer
    There is no adhesive in a push-up bra. Backless or sticky bras have adhesive as they have no band or straps. You just stick the bra to your breasts and yes, they can be reused. You have to take good care of them, though. You can wear push-up bras like a normal bra.
  • Question
    Can I wear a push up bra if my size is 32A?
    Community Answer
    Yes, you can. Even if you have small breasts, a push-up bra will have the desired effect if it's the right size. If it's too big, it won't fit very well.
