How Side Support Bra Can Enhance Your Figure

The standard bra consists of three parts: the band that goes around the chest, the cups that protect the breasts, and the shoulder straps to hold the cups upright. Contrary to what is often supposed, it is the chest band and the cups that support the breasts, not the straps that go over the shoulders. The straps are there only to keep the cups in the correct position; otherwise you'll never find any strapless bras.

Over the years, from the time the bra was invented, many different styles, forms and makes have been created to answer the needs of different breast configurations. Bra forms may be as few as five to as many as 30 (or even more?) depending on who makes the counting and how he determines the differences of one form from the others. Sometimes function is the basis in differentiating the styles, so you may get support, lift, nursing, sports bras and so on. Of course there are likewise combinations like the side support bra that provides a specific function, that of preventing the breast from 'spilling over' sideways.

Side support bras have rather large side panels that push in the breast's sides, effectively preventing it from partially blocking the arm's movement when swung. At the same time this design eliminates the tendency of the breast to form another bulge over the side of the cups if the breast if too big for the cups, and pushes the breast inwards for a better cleavage as well. Some side support bras are also furnished with underwires that round-form the cups and make the breasts appear more youthful, while still others dispense with the underwire but achieve the same effects via pre-formed seamed cups.

Naturally, there are different designs of side support bras from even the same bra manufacturer, and priced variously also. There are differences in form, materials, cut and purpose/s, and one side support bra may perform several functions. One side support bra design, for instance, is underwired for better form retention, has small elastic bands in the cup tops for better fit, floral embroidery in the cups for greater feminine feeling, side reinforcement for uplift and shape, seamless so it will not be obvious under the clothes, and other features.

But because people differ also in build and physical characteristics, no side support bra is appropriate for every woman who may want to use one. Furthermore, not one side support bra has been designed to be appropriate for all types of clothes, so if you wish to use one according to your preferences, you will need to search diligently for it. Trial and error is the usual way, where you have to try on various designs to choose from them.
