Discover the fascinating world of bra fitting!
Relief bra
The relief bra is a particularly good choice for the larger bust. This style offers full cover for the breasts. Heavy breasts are given optimal support. Both the sides and the front are designed with support and stability in mind. This design has a wide, soft underbust band and padded straps. This ensures the bra offers comfortable support for the larger bust without any annoying pressure points. An extra-wide back takes the strain off the back area.

Underwired bra with moulded cups
Underwired bras are particularly suitable if some support in the underbust region is required. The integrated wire offers support for the bust, while moulded or sewn soft cups lift and shape the breasts. This gently emphasises the cleavage. By using spacer cups (with a 3D spacing effect) the bra can be made even more breathable and adaptable. Suitable as a T-shirt bra if the cups are moulded (seamless shaping) rather than sewn and if no textured lace or embroidery has been incorporated.

Underwired bra
The underwired bra without moulded cups supports and subtly lifts the breasts without altering their shape or creating pronounced cleavage. Particularly suitable for a bust that has an excellent shape of its own in the upper cup area and for anyone who wants to avoid padded inserts. The cleavage area is embellished with lace, embroidery or other details. Suitable as a T-shirt bra if the cups are moulded rather than sewn and if no textured lace or embroidery has been incorporated.

Bustier
The bustier for every day (and night). A light bra and particularly popular design. This bra does not have a "lifting" effect but offers a wonderful and incredibly comfortable fit around the bust. Practical slip-on styles are available as well as with a front clasp. This is a popular option with those who find relief bras to be too "compact" and want to create a feeling of having nothing on.

Soft bra (microfibre bra)
The soft bra or microfibre bra features moulded cups and wide, usually padded straps. Optimal fit, exceptional comfort and a beautifully soft feel. Suitable as a T-shirt bra as the cups are shaped and have no seams. Manufactured from cotton or microfibre, plain, printed and sometimes adorned with lace. Here you will also find feel-good designs with terrycloth lining or light spacer cups.

Triangle bra / bralette
The non-wired bra with or without soft cups is an absolute trend-setter with a focus on "natural" comfort and an appearance that is as "natural" as possible. A popular option for women with a smaller bust who want to emphasise their cleavage. Designs are available with or without lace details, made from microfibre or cotton.

Multiway bra
Thanks to its special design and functional characteristics, the multiway bra can be worn in several different ways. When worn as a halter neck with the straps crossed at the back or just a single strap, this makes a fabulous accessory for dresses or tops with special necklines. Transparent straps are also often offered to provide additional options. The seamless moulded cups enclose the breasts, lifting them and shaping the cleavage. There are also styles that can be worn as a strapless bra, which are reinforced with one or more silicone bands underneath the breasts to offer additional support.

High-apex bra
The key feature of the high-apex bra is a relatively pointed cleavage design which serves to emphasise the bust. Wide straps run seamlessly into the cups, offering plenty of scope for extravagant embellishment and beautiful lace, but they can also be kept very simple. Thanks to the unique design and integrated underwire support, this bra gently lifts and gives shape to a larger bust but is also a perfect choice for a smaller bust. Thanks to its elegance and functionality, the high-apex bra is an ideal option for women who want to feel both stylish and comfortable.

Minimizer
The minimizer is distinguished by the way it makes the bust appear smaller. The cups offer complete cover for the breasts. The central panel gently pushes the breasts slightly to the side, with the result that the volume appears to be reduced. A wider underbust band and wide straps ensure optimal support and distribute the weight of a large bust more effectively without digging in anywhere. The back is designed to be wider to take the strain off the back area.

Sports bra
The materials have been selected for their wicking properties and to ensure the bra dries quickly. Sports bras are also designed to compress the bust to offer maximum support and a secure fit as well as being breathable. Wide straps ensure nothing can slip and the weight of the bust is securely distributed. These bras are easy to put on thanks to a rear clasp, front clasp, or even both, ensuring each bra can be perfectly adjusted for the female form.

Balconette
The balconette bra features a sophisticated style and widely spaced straps to ensure a deep cleavage and full, attractive bust. It is very sexy, but practically invisible. An integrated underwired design and often moulded half cups support the bust from beneath and create a lifting effect. This is a fabulous look for the small to medium bust, but also a beautiful option for a larger bust.

Nursing bra
The nursing bra offers perfect support and exceptional comfort for breastfeeding mothers. For styles designed with cups, these usually feature a seamless, moulded design and are easy to open via a clip system when the baby needs milk. The straps are securely attached to the bra supports, so they do not slip when the cups are opened. Some models feature an underwired design for additional support. Another option is a bustier style, which is designed to be easy to slip on and off and is made from organic cotton. Thanks to the low elastane content and the special alignment of the cups, which overlap at the front, this bra will adapt as the body changes shape. The ideal accessory during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
