What is a push‑up bra?

A push-up bra is a structured undergarment designed with angled cups and strategic padding positioned at the bottom or sides that lifts the breasts upward and inward. The engineered design creates support through the combination of padding (foam, gel, or air inserts) and typically includes underwire for additional structure.

Padded bras come in a variety of levels, from light lift that adds subtle shaping to major lift options that provide maximum support and coverage. This versatile garment appears in multiple designs including full coverage, balconette, strapless, and wireless options to accommodate different wardrobe needs.
