Forget what you may have been told: push-up bras are for absolutely everyone, no matter your bra size/cup size/band size. While someone with small boobs may not require as much support as someone with double-D breasts (we’ve found the best bras for bigger boobs and larger busts here), a push-up bra is still something anyone can wear should they want to.

They also needn’t be uncomfortable. Instead, comfort and lift are now synonymous with style and sex-appeal, allowing you to achieve the boost you desire without having your blood circulation cut off. Phew!

What is the best push-up bra for cleavage?

This won’t come as a surprise to anyone (we hope), but not everyone’s boobs are the same so the best push up bra for cleavage will depend on your shape. Some people’s breasts sit front and centre while others are further apart. Those of you with a larger gap between your boobs should look to push-up bras with a gap between the cups (i.e. balcony or balconette bras), and those with a closer cleavage should opt for bras with cups that touch (like plunge bras). This is to ensure that the bra actually sits over your breasts and provides support to your tissue, as well as giving you a helping hand in the lifting department.

Is wearing a push-up bra bad for you?

Wearing a push-up bra is not bad for you - provided you’re wearing the correct size. The perfect fit is crucial. If you wear a bra that’s too small for you (push-up or not) you’ll find you get uncomfortable quite quickly and that your breast tissue is spilling out or being cut into by the wires. If you wear a bra that’s too big for you then you won’t receive the correct support you need and you’ll find that your tissue will start to sag overtime.
