Welcome to the Demi Cup Bra section of the Bra Glossary.  In this section, you can learn more about bras.

Demi Cup Bra : a demi cup bra is also referenced as a half cup bra.  Essentially, the bra cups are approximately half the size of a full coverage bra cup.  Therefore, a demi cup bra has less breast coverage. The underwires of a demi cup are usually shorter and more shallow.  The fashion industry typically cuts a demi cup to approximately 1 inch above the nipple point.  However, there is not a one hundred percent fixed rule for all manufacturers. Most push-up bras are demi cups so that the wearer can show more cleavage.  The majority of demi cups are designed with a slight tilt to push the breasts towards the center to present more cleavage. If a demi creates a particularly straight line across your bust, it is often referred to as a balconette. Because they create great cleavage and are often designed to be seen, demi bras are very popular when in the mode to look sexy.
