Padded Bras have some type of padding lining the cups. Graduated padding is thicker at the base of the cups and creates a natural looking silhouette as well as the appearance of increased cleavage.
The padded bra has really evolved over the years. It used to mean a bra with extra padding to increase your breast size. Today, a padded bra – or more accurately, a lightly padded bra – really means modesty. Molded cup bras with a thin layer of padding to prevent nipple show-through are called contour bras; but they are actually a type of padded bra. And, today, women consider a push-up bra a padded bra as well!
