Welcome to the Push-up Bra or Push-up Cups section of the Bra Glossary.  In this section, you can learn more about bras.

Push-up Bra / Push-up Cups : Push-up cups enhance a woman's bust line by creating cleavage and the look of fuller breasts.  With the help of padding that is hidden inside the bra, the push up bra will help push breasts in the upward direction.  Certainly not straight up, but pushed up to an appropriate level.  Most push-up bras also have wide-set straps. Setting the straps toward the outside edge of the cups will further assist in directing the breast tissue towards the center to create more cleavage.  Designed primarily for women with C cups or smaller, the push-up cups are often shaped like a demi cup with significant padding at the bottom of the cups.  The cups are angled inward so that the breast tissue is pushed towards the center, thus creating cleavage.

If you would like to research bras further, you may want to check the bra definition section.
