The Wonders of the Wacoal Underwire Bra

Many bra designs are constructed with an underwire. Among women, underwire bras are becoming more and more popular and women are increasingly agreeing with the idea that all bras should have an underwire. So, the question becomes, what does the underwire bra actually does for you?

Ideally, it all begins with one of the basic principles of bra fitting. When your bra fits properly, the underwire will delineate all of your breast tissue (from under your arms to your cleavage). The bra should lay flat against your breastbone in the front. The underwire bra is designed to constrain your breasts, however It should not rub against your skin or cause irritation.

The main reason for wearing an underwire bra is to enhance the natural shape of your bust via the contouring described above. The bra will accomplish this by encompassing the totality of your breast tissue. The purpose is to give you a lift and a round shape (which we all desire).

There are two types of underwire bras. If you’re wearing a padded push-up bra, you are getting less support than if you were wearing a full cup minimizer (intended to deliver the ultimate support). But both bra types have an underwire. The question is what determines this difference in support levels?

For any bra, the straps, elasticated back band, fabric, stitching, underwire and coverage all work together to play an important role in providing comfort for you. Most of the support of a properly fitted bra is in the elasticity (or firmness) of the fabric of your cups, plus the stitching (if any) on or along the cups. The main reason for emphasizing “properly fitting” is because – let’s face it - if your bra doesn’t fit, it doesn’t matter what style you’re wearing. You will not be receiving the support that the design of your bra intended!

If your bra cups cover only half of your breasts (as with a demi-cup), then chances are, your bra can’t give you nearly as much support as a full-coverage bra provides. That’s true, by the way, whether the bra has an underwire or is wire free. Ideally, you should choose a bra made with a sturdier extensible fabric as well.

Properly fitted, underwire bras help give you a more perfect fit because they support your breasts. Wacoal designs bras that provide the support level you need with the best fabrics (and stitching) of your bra cups. All of these points (plus more, like the width of the straps) work together to provide support you want and need!
