Choose a push-up bra that is comfortable. Some push-up bras contain strong metal or plastic underwires that can dig into the skin and cause discomfort. Cotton push-up bras with soft padding are typically the most comfortable.
Choose a push-up lingeries that fits well. Get fitted by a store associate to determine your exact size. She will use a measuring tape to measure your bust and help you find the bra that will provide the best fit.
Relax your arms to the sides of your body and stand tall. Measure across the widest part of your breasts over the bra. Round this number to the closest whole number again if it is a fraction.
Subtract the second measurement from the first measurement. This will be the cup size. Usually, each inch of difference equals one cup letter. For example, an end result of 3 inches would be about a cup size C.
If you've just bought a new bra or have had it for a short time, it's important to take care of it as soon as it goes home with you. Taking the necessary steps to care for your bras sooner instead of later will keep them looking and feeling new for many weeks and months to come.

Treat expensive bras with care.
For those who wear bras that are padded, have an underwire, are seamless or other high-tech features (a la Victoria's Secret quality), personal care is extremely important. These bras are expensive for a reason so you can't treat them like you would a $10 bra from a department store.
The label will tell you what to do.
Read the labels for care on the bras and follow them! If it says to hand wash the bra, do not throw it into the washing machine. This only serves to mash up the cups and deform the shape, making it look funky underneath your clothing.
These don't always work.
Even those special containers that are made for washing bras in the washing machine can still cause damage to your special bras so keep your expensive ones away from the washing machine.
Use your kitchen or bathroom sink.
The best way to clean your bras is to fill up your sink with cold to cool water. As the water is running, squeeze some liquid dish washing soap or other liquid soap to create suds. Do not pour the liquid soap onto the bra itself. Once the sink is full of suds and water, immerse your bras completely underwater. You don't need to do a lot of scrubbing and avoid twisting or wringing out the bra.
After about 5-10 minutes, remove the bras from the sink and place on a clean and dry towel, face up underneath the sun or in a brightly lit area. Do not hang the bras using a clothes pin because it can mess up the bra or cause indentations from the pin.
A bra drawer.
Have a special area to store your bras that you aren't wearing. Tossing them on your bed or at the bottom of the closet will only cause wear and tear over time. Put your bras on their own shelf, drawer, or on a clothes rack made for bras.
By following these steps, your bras can last a long time. However, it is important to know that eventually you'll have to buy a new one. It isn't good for your bust, back, or shoulders to continue to wear outdated bras.
