Underwire bras are some of the most popular bra styles, and are an essential component of many women’s wardrobes. By definition, an underwire bra is a bra that has semi-circle pieces of metal or plastic sewn into each cup. The purpose of underwires is to lift, shape, and support each breast.
There is a common misconception that underwire bras are rigid and uncomfortable, especially for women with larger breasts, but this simply isn’t the case. A quality underwire bra will be as comfortable as it is supportive. Not every bra will be comfortable for every woman, but with many different underwire bra styles to choose from, you can find the perfect fit for you.
With so many types of underwire bras and many designs to choose from, finding the best underwire bra for you can be a daunting task.
