Contrary to what some might believe, a push-up bra is not just intended for those with smaller cleavage. Likewise, not all push-up bras even have padding. Push-up bras are intended to lift the breasts; they may come with or without padding to add a little extra oomph. If you are not well endowed at all, make sure you look for styles that offer plenty of padding, which may use air, silicone, gel, or even water. (Just don’t puncture a water bra. It won’t end well.)

Women with average size chests don’t need to focus so much on extra padding, but rather on a bra that pushes up your cleavage nicely. Look for a bra that has padding on the lower third of the cup which will help create a good lift without adding to the volume of your bust. Well endowed women can definitely benefit from a push up bra because the larger the breasts, the lower they hang. Avoid any style that has padding. You want a supportive contour to create lift. Also, search for bras with wider straps to evenly distribute the weight of your breasts.
