Why so many padded/push up bras?

I am a small A. Used to buy only padded bras so I could at least appear a larger A/small B through shirts.

Then after nursing two kids I realized it was smooshing my breasts making them look even more sad than the nursing did. From there I went to braless, with the occasional silicone nipple covers under certain shirts. Then that started to irritate the skin around my breasts so I said, this is ridiculous -- I finally went to Nordstrom during their anniversary sale and got my self some sexy and comfortable bralettes, and I don't think I'll ever wear anything else again (except for certain special occasion attire).

I buy padded/push up bras and Demi bras because of my body type.

I'm a body builder, so I have a wide back and broad shoulders. When I'm measured, I measure a 36C, however, my actual cup size is a 34 B. However, I'm not a full B cup size. I have to purchase bras that are between a 34C and 36C for the width they provide for my back and shoulders but I can't fill the cup size unless it's padded or partly pushed up. The padded bras help fill in the space and add more lift to my breasts. I suppose it's just a matter of preference, but we're all built differently. Weight lifting has helped naturally lift them a bit, but it's not going to change the size they are.

She probably just has small nipples.

I'm not European. Not sure how my nips stack up in comparison to others!

Because I'm a professional and have to dress like one. Without a bra, my clothes don't fit.
