When it comes to picking the ideal bra style the fact is that we all have problems. And finding the right size strapless bra is a huge challenge for both small and large busted women. And while going strapless raises support issues for women wearing large bra sizes, the ones wearing smaller bra sizes are more preoccupied with the push-up effect. Here is what I know for sure – A lot of women wearing AA bra size always check if the bra has a lot of padding. Now, there’s nothing wrong in wanting a padded bra, but mistaking your size just because of the excess padding is, mildly speaking, not good.

My sister for example, was always dreaded of strapless bras just because she got used to her bras slipping down without straps. Yes, you guessed right – she never wore the right bra size, always a cup or two bigger. She wanted her breasts to appear bigger. I had to have a little conversation with her and, to be honest, it took me a lot of time to finally convince her to go shopping for the right size, strapless bra.

The first thing I convinced her to get is a self adhesive bra. Being large busted, myself, I could never wear it and I just knew it’s the perfect solution for her. This bra is not only strapless but backless too and, guess what? It’s not available in large bra sizes, only in small ones. She completely loves this bra now because she finally has a strapless bra in her own size and it even makes her breasts look a cup bigger.

Then we got a padded balconette style bra with convertible straps. This style looks great in AA bra size, I have to admit that. It has straps but they are removable and very easy to combine with different outfits. By the way, regardless of your bra size, when getting a strapless bra always make sure the back strap is wide enough and tight enough so the bra stays in place no matter what you do. Wide strap is a must even for AA bra size because you want your strapless bra to stay on your breasts, to lift them and make them voluptuous, you don’t need it to slip down and create odd shapes. In the end, it all comes out to picking the right size bra, and the right size strapless one will do it’s magic and you’ll get the enhancement you want without too much hustle.

I love the whole concept of those strapless, backless bras but that silicone, self adhesive bras just don’t work well for me. That’s the problem with wearing large bra size; if the bra is strapless it has to have a wide back strap, but what if I want to wear a strapless and backless dress? I’ve been searching for a solution for this problem for a very long time and I think I found it now. I’m talking about a relatively new product called D+ perk ups. This product is designed especially for large breasts and is available in D and higher bra sizes.

You see, the problem with self adhesive bras is that they only go to D bra size. But these perk ups are made in D+ sizes so, now, large busted women can allow themselves to go backless and strapless and still have the support and lift a bra provides. Perk ups don’t look like anything you’ve ever seen before. They don’t look like the regular bra; actually, they don’t look like a bra at all! This ultimate solution for women wearing large bra size consists of two individual cups that close with a hook similar to the one on the back strap of a regular bra.

Cups are made using revolutionary flexible silicone technology and once you learn how to place the cups correctly- you’ll have your ideal backless and strapless bra that will fit any dress or top style. These cups are the idea of Dr. Joanne Morgan, the CEO of a company called Faveo. Perk ups  made this company famous because this invention really made things a lot easier for large busted women. The whole idea was to make something that will support big breasts like a normal bra, that will be available in large bra sizes and that will make wearing revealing dresses and tops possible.

The cups are seamless and have no wires but are still able to support and lift even the largest breasts and make them look naturally perky. Like I said, it will take a little time to learn how to place them correctly but that’s nothing compared to all the benefits you can expect from this “bra”. And unlike self adhesive bras that can be worn a limited number of times, D+ perk ups are lasting and available in black and skin color. I just love these and I’ll definitely try them as soon as possible.
