How to Buy a Silicone Bra

Perhaps you're overwhelmed by the extensive selection many lingerie stores carry today, or maybe you're looking for the perfect special-occasion bra. In either case, it's easy to buy a silicone bra that flatters your figure, gives you appropriate coverage and works with the most daring necklines.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Buy silicone bras based on your cup size only, not by your ribcage measurements. Typical silicone bras are both backless and strapless, so you're buying based exclusively on your cup size.

2. Choose a silicone bra that is self-adhesive. Because silicone bras usually don't have any straps, you need the cups to mold seamlessly to your breasts. Buying a self-adhesive style keeps you comfortable and covered without the hassle of lingerie tape.

3. Pick a color that works with your special-occasion garment. There are several color options for silicone bras, so make sure you buy a color that won't show through your clothing. For best results and the most versatility, buy a silicone bra that closely matches your skin tone.

4. Stage a trial run with your silicone bra. This bra style should fit comfortably, provide adequate support for your breasts and look great under your clothing, but test it out before you wear it for a major event.

Tips & Warnings

• Clean your silicone bra gently with warm water and soap after each usage to keep it looking and feeling great.
• Experiment with different placements of your silicone bra to achieve the optimal look and feel with each outfit.
• Consider a standard bra with removable silicone inserts if you want natural-looking bust enhancement under everyday clothing.
• Wear a silicone bra underneath a regular bra to increase your cup size and keep the support of a traditional undergarment.
