Tips for Choosing Bras for Projected Breasts

• Prioritize Deep Cups: Look for bras with deep cups and immediate projection (e.g., seamed balconettes, plunges, or spacer foam). Avoid shallow, molded cups like Freya Deco, which can cause spillage.
• Check Wire Width: Narrower wires suit projected breasts with smaller roots; wider wires may work for average roots but can cause empty space.
• Consider Polish Brands: Ewa Michalak, Comexim, and Gorsenia are frequently recommended for their deep cups and narrow wires, especially for small bands and large cups.
• Assess Fullness: Full-on-bottom breasts suit plunges or side-support bras; full-on-top breasts need open-top styles like balconettes.
• Use the A Bra That Fits Calculator: Start with accurate measurements
• Test for IMF Fit: Ensure wires sit in the IMF without slipping; spillage or riding down indicates insufficient projection.
• Consider Nipple Coverage: For t-shirt bras, try spacer foam (e.g., Panache Cari) or silicone nipple covers to avoid visible nipples without heavy padding.
