• What is a mastectomy bra and who is it for?

• What’s the benefit of a front-closure bra?

  You don’t have to reach behind your back, the straps go on first and the bra then fastens at the front with several hooks and eyes. Appreciated during recovery after surgery or simply for practical reasons in everyday life. Keep in mind that the band’s circumference can’t be adjusted as precisely as on a back-closure style.Few readers

• What is a bra with side support, and is it right for me?

  A bra with side support has extra panels or reinforcement along the sides of the cup. The construction gathers the bust forward and inward rather than outward to the sides, giving extra stability and a more centred, lifted feeling throughout the day. It particularly suits those with a fuller or larger bust, or softer breast tissue, who find their bust tends to shift or spread to the sides, and it’s available in both everyday styles and full cups.Few readers

• What is a padded bra?

  It adds a little extra volume and a smooth, rounded shape under clothes, while the padding also gives a soft layer between the bra and your skin. Suits smaller cup sizes wanting more shape, or anyone who doesn’t want their nipples to show.Few readers

• What is a moulded-cup bra and what’s the benefit?

  The cup is moulded in one piece and completely seamless, which gives a smooth silhouette under fitted clothes and makes it gentle on the skin since there are no seams to chafe.Few readers

• What is a moulded-cup bra, and is that the same as a padded bra?

  No, they’re two different things. Moulded describes how the cup is made, it’s been heat-shaped over a mould into a smooth, rounded shape with no visible seams. Padding, on the other hand, is an extra layer inside the cup. So a bra can be moulded without being padded, and vice versa, and it can have an underwire or be completely wire-free. A moulded cup gives an even, round silhouette and works especially well under thin or fitted clothing.Few readers

• What’s the difference between an underwire bra and a wire-free bra, and when should I choose which?

  An underwire bra gives a well-defined silhouette and a stable fit, and comes in three variants, soft wire, medium-soft wire, and firm underwire. For a heavier bust, the wire gives extra lift and support that helps hold the bust up, making it a good choice when you need shaping and stability. A wire-free bra instead prioritises softness and freedom. The feeling of pressure against the ribs disappears, which many find liberating, and it’s a popular everyday basic for anyone who wants comfort overFew readers

• What is a t-shirt bra?

• Is a wire-free bra an option for a large or heavy bust?

  Sometimes. A wire-free style with good side support can work well for a large bust in everyday situations. For a really heavy bust, an underwire usually gives better support and shape retention over time.Few readers
