Different types of breasts look and feel better in different types of bras. If you're not sure which style fits you the best, Madame Noire has you covered. Here are the bras that they think are best for different types of breasts:
1. Large Nipples

If you have large nipples, your best bet is to wear a padded bra, so that there's a smaller chance of your nipple peeking out of your shirt or showing through that shirt.
2. Two Different Sized Breasts

It's normal to have breasts that are two different sizes. However, if you don't want others to know, you should wear a stretch cup bra that will stretch to whatever size your boobs are. That way, they'll both feel comfortable.
3. Nipples That Face Outward

You should buy a bra with a wide cup, which means you should stay away from demi-cups. Try buying one with sturdy, thick padding instead.
4. Bottom Heavy Breasts

If your boobs are bottom heavy, your best bet is to buy a bra that has heavy padding on the bottom. That way, they'll lift your breasts up and give them a sexy shape.
5. Teardrop Shaped Breasts

This is the best shape of all! That's why you only need to wear thin, cloth bras. Of course, you can place an insert over the nipple, so that it doesn't show through your clothes.
6. Saggy Breasts

If you have boobs that sag, then you should buy a bra that is one size too small for you. Then you can cover that up with a bra that is one size too big for you. It sounds silly, but it can work!
