Full figure bras are for women with fuller figures and bigger bust sizes. A full figure bra provides better support than a petite or average sized bra. In fact, full figure bras are recommended for women who are sizes 38-50 and cup sizes C to DD and larger. A full size figure bra will sometimes have wide cushioned straps with foam lining and extra padding. Closures usually have three or maybe four rows of hooks and eyes. A full figure plus size bra are often custom designed for full figured women and so add comfort beyond what an ordinary bra can do.

Choosing A Full Figure Womens Bra

There are are many different types of full figure bras, or as is commonly called a full figure support bra. A full figure push up bra enhances the cleavage, with padding and extra support from beneath the breasts, while a full figure sport bra is made for higher impact activity. A full figure nursing bra has a detachable flap that provides easier access to breastfeeding without losing support. A full figure strapless bra provides the same comfort and support as a regular bra, but loses the straps. Silicons strips may be inserted to keep the bra in place. A full figure backless bra eliminates the need for heavy back straps. This may be done by using a criss cross or halter design, or the bra may be a completely strapless and backless self-adhesive bra. A backless bra could also be a full figure bra with clear strap, which is supported by transparent or flesh colored straps. The full figure sheer bra is a see-through bra and an excellent choice for a sexy piece of apparel.
