Why so many padded/push up bras?

Anonymous
I am an A cup, but hate wearing padded or push-up bras. Bras that are lightly lined are increasingly difficult to find. What gives? Why are American women so enamored with bras that add 12 cup sizes?

I like the lined ones from Soma, they're lined enough for proper coverage but not padded.

I always thought Soma was a matronly brand, but I will check it out.

I’m with you. I’m a small B cup and I don’t want to be any bigger. I have some from Aerie that are only very lightly lined that I like.

I'm larger busted (DD) but I like the thin lining so people can't see my nips.

I don’t like them either but I pretty much HAVE to wear one because my breasts are super uneven. Like one is an A and one is a big B uneven. I would look ridiculous without the padding to even things out a bit. :/

I'm a 32 A and get lightly lined bras from the children's section in department stores.

Fellow A cup here, and I buy Natori bras - lightly lined, pretty but not over-the-top, and really comfortable. I get them at Nordstrom, but they're probably sold by all the usual suspects.

Go to nordstrom and ask them to help you out. Then try shopping online at journelle. It is the small busted woman's friend.

+1 I can wear some from Aerie and some from VS Pink. There's a cheap brand at Target (xhilaration maybe?) that has basic ones for like $12 and are lightly lined. That's a perk to being on the smaller side!

Cheaper than a boob job.

I recommend these lightly lined bras from CK. Comfortable and no wires. Wait for the price to drop around $26 on Smazon. It fluctuates all the time.

Why does anyone who is an A cup wear a bra at all?
