Sometimes, you just want a little extra boost to maximize what you've got. We all remember the teenage trick of "stuffing your bra"! If you would like to make your breasts look larger, there are now much more sophisticated lingerie solutions.

Breast Enhancing Bras

The easiest and most convenient way to look bigger in the bust is a padded bra. There are a few different types of padded bras, which all have slightly different functions.

A bra with molded or contour padding has foam pads that are built into the cup itself. These pads are often graduated for subtle, natural enhancement. Contour padding is a common feature of molded T-shirt bras.

Bras with push-up pads or "bump pads" are designed to lift the breast from the bottom and are usually removable. Push up bras create more defined cleavage in addition to adding to your size and is a good choice if you don't want to wear a padded bra all the time. Some bras, including most bras in the Wacoal Petites collection, combine contour padding with push-up cookies so that you can customize how much padding you'd like.

Gel bras have inserts that are filled with water, oil or gel. These bras are designed to move more like natural breasts for a realistic look. One example is the famous "water bra".

Bra Accessories for Bigger Boobs

Another way to make your chest look larger is with bra accessories. Removable breast enhancers let you turn any bra into a push up bra, which can really expand your bra shopping choices. These accessories are also great for woman with uneven breasts who want to make one side look larger. Another advantage of separate bra padding is that is often made of realistic materials, like silicone, that can be less noticeable than regular padding. Some of our favorite bra enhancers are Commando Take Outs and Commando Cupcakes.

All of these items will give you larger-looking breasts that are natural looking but not over the top. By the way, some women think that wearing a bigger bra will help make their chest look bigger - this is not true.
