What Bra Cup Type Is Right for Me?

Choosing the right bra cup type is all about finding coverage that suits your style.

While finding your right size is one key component in picking the perfect bra for your body (be sure to check out our new mybraFit™ digital sizing app!), figuring out the coverage levels that best suit your style is the next decision to be made.

 

Wacoal offers three levels of coverage. Most women find that owning options with a bra cup type in each category is the best way to make sure that no matter what style choices they make on any given day, the base layer they need is at their fingertips.

 

Our best-selling Perfect Primer line offers styles that cater to each coverage need, so if you are wondering what bra cup types exist to choose from, here is your definitive guide:

bullet list

Minimal Coverage:

Minimal coverage bras offer the least amount of cup coverage, typically emphasizing your natural cleavage.

 

Minimal Coverage Bra Cup Type Pick:
Perfect Primer Push Up
This bust-boosting style has graduated foam cups, allowing for significant lift in a minimal bra cup type. Given that low-cut tops generally require a minimal coverage base layer, this push up bra is essential for most wardrobes.
bullet list

Mid Coverage:

Mid-coverage bras fall right in the middle of the coverage spectrum. This level provides adequate support while offering a more wardrobe-friendly look.

 

Mid-Coverage Bra Cup Type Pick:
Perfect Primer Underwire T-Shirt Bra
Soft foam cups provide a subtle boost, and the convertible straps are wide set, making this a great choice for shoulder-baring tops and dresses. This t-shirt bra has an additional layer of fabric in the back and band for enhanced support in larger sizes, offering a mid-coverage bra cup type style that women up to a 40G can feel comfortable wearing.
bullet list

Full Coverage:

Full coverage bras offer generous support over your breasts, and they’re not only for full-busted women. If you prefer a more modest and controlled fit, full coverage is an ideal choice.

 

Full Coverage Bra Cup Type Pick:
Perfect Primer Full Figure Underwire
Hidden underwire and inner cup slings join comfort straps and irresistibly soft fabric to make this full figure underwire the most supportive staple that every woman needs. The full coverage cup capacity offered by this bra cup type is especially handy to have in your arsenal as it disappears under clothes, ensuring there is no “double bubble” or added bulk, just a smooth silhouette to layer under thinner fabrics, like worn-in t-shirts and slinky jersey dresses.
