As opposed to padded bras, foam lined bras have a thinner lining. This lining does not add size, but provides additional shaping as well as protection against nipple show-through. A key feature to look for in foam lined bras is stretch foam lining. Stretch foam will create a natural looking silhouette and will keep its shape even after repeated washings.

Foam Lined Bras
Thursday, May 3rd, 2012Demi Bras
Sunday, April 29th, 2012A demi cup bra offers the perfect amount of ‘barely there’ coverage for petite to average figure women. These bras offer less coverage than a full cup and more than a balconette. Demi bras cover the nipple and approximately half to ¾ of the breast, but if it seems like you’re “spilling out” of your demi cup it’s probably the wrong size.
Okay, it shouldn’t be hard for anyone to imagine that sexy lingerie should be a necessary part of your wardrobe. Men simply love sexy lingerie and that would include see through bras, shelf bras and sheer pieces. And the demi bra is one of the best in this category!

Cleavage Enhancing Bra Queen Gets Props
Wednesday, April 25th, 2012
Underwear tycoon and bra queen Michelle Mone has said she is “thrilled, honored and delighted” to have been appointed OBE. The 38-year-old Glaswegian, who created the cleavage-enhancing Ultimo bra, was recognized for services to business in the New Year Honours list. Now one of the UK’s most successful entrepreneurs, she has expanded her brand into stores around the world.
Ms Mone said she would never have dreamed of such recognition having left school at 15 with no qualifications. She was in her mid-20s when she had the idea for the Ultimo bra while at a dinner dance with her husband Michael. While wearing an uncomfortable push-up bra, she vowed to create an “attractive, comfy and affordable design.” She set up MJM International with her husband and in 1999 the Ultimo bra, with its patented technology of liquid silicone gel, was born. Its success grew the following year when it was worn by Oscar-winner Julia Roberts in the hit 2000 film Erin Brockovich.

Paris Hilton Designs Big Boob Bra
Thursday, March 29th, 2012
Paris Hilton designs a bra that makes your boobs look huge! READ ALL ABOUT IT IN THE ORIGINAL ARTICLE AT MONSTERS AND CRITICS! Hilton said: ‘In my lingerie line, I have a bra that I designed for flat-chested girls and it makes your boobs look huge! ‘People think it’s fake boobs. Everyone’s like: ‘Did you…?’ I’m like: ‘No!’ It makes me look like a double-D. I’m flat-chested compared to most girls in Hollywood.’
Push Up Bras
Tuesday, March 27th, 2012Push-up bras create the appearance of increased cleavage using angled cups (which generally have underwires), a variety of types of padding including graduated and cookies, and demi cups.
If you own a pair of double D’s, wear a 32E bra or GG cup bras, you probably won’t have much need for this category of bra. But if you’re like many women, and you enjoy taking what you have and moving it around to create maximum cleavage and thus maximum effect… at least occasionally, the push up bra might just be the bra for you. The push-up bra has replaced traditional padded bras for a lot of women. No longer do you need padding to give your bust line a fuller look and appearance.
For that instant lift and a slimmer silhouette, grab your push up bra. Not only does it give you a much fuller look, but getting the girls up and shapely makes you look younger and thinner. And men love your look in this style of bra more than you might even imagine.
Contour Bras
Monday, March 26th, 2012A contour bra has shaped cups, which are always padded or lined. They often have an underwire. Even unfilled, the cups mimic the natural shape of a woman’s body. Contour bras are similar to a molded bra, except molded bras are generally not as highly structured. Contour bras are a perfect choice for any woman seeking a sculpted silhouette, as they offer a significant amount of coverage and control.
