A Demi Bra or a Full Coverage Bra
There are numerous brassiere or bra styles available for women to choose from, but two of the most common are demi-cup bras and full coverage bras. A full coverage bra is exactly what it sounds like: a bra designed to cover and support the entire breast. A demi bra, on the other hand, is cut out so that the upper portion of the breast is exposed. Both bras have advantages and disadvantages, and the decision about what kind of bra to buy can sometimes be difficult.
The most primary concern when buying a bra is fit. If a bra does not fit comfortably, it can be painful and look unsightly. A properly fitting bra should have straps which fit smoothly and snugly along the body. The rear strap should not pucker or ride up, and you should be able to stick your finger between the front strap and your skin. The shoulder straps should not dig into your shoulders, and on an underwire bra, the underwire should not gouge your breasts.
A demi bra can be worn on a daily basis by smaller breasted women. Demi bras are also very useful for low cut tops, in which the top of a full coverage bra would otherwise show through. However, caution should be taken when buying a demi bra. If the bra does not fit properly, the breasts may appear bulgy or cut off. When trying on a demi bra, pull a shirt on other it to see how the fabric drapes. If you would prefer that your nipples be covered when wearing a demi bra, seek out a demi bra with more coverage. A demi bra should not be worn for athletic activity.
