"So we're starting with bras because it is very important to wear the right bra underneath what you are wearing. There's two kinds of bras, there's a molded bra, that has a shape on it's own and what happens is when you put this on it forces you into that shape. Molded bras also do a great job at concealing nipples. So if you want a nice smooth shape without anything showing? It's always nice to go molded. If you want a bit of a more natural shape, you can go with a non molded bra. This is a soft cup, there's nothing between the fabric and you. Sometimes these do show nipples and there are ways to fix that. You can get Silicone nipple covers just to stick in your bra, so it doesn't, but sometimes it's a little sexier or more natural shape to wear a non molded bra. Molded bras generally don't have seams, they're generally smooth all the way, they give you a nice rounded shape. Non molded bras, sometimes are seamless but in this case this one has seams and it even has a little piece of lace at the top. So it depends on what look you are going for and if you don't mind seams, which some people don't. I like a non molded bra, but if you want some push or just a nice rounded shape, go for molded. "
