Contour Bra?

Can someone please explain to me what a contour bra is? It appears to me that a contour bra is just a moulded cup bra.....so why give it a new name? There does not appear to be any difference between standard moulded cup bra and contour bra....at least that I can see. Help?

  • Wikipedia says: Contour: Sometimes referred to as a molded-cup bra. Contour bras sometimes contain underwire. They have seamless, pre-formed cups containing a foam or other lining that helps define and hold the cup's shape, even when not being worn. May be available as full-cup, demi-cup, push-up, or in other styles.[10] Can be useful when breasts are asymmetrical (which is common – up to 25% of women's breasts are asymmetric[11] – or with enlarged or differently shaped nipples who want to create a symmetrical silhouette.[5]) Also see T-shirt bra, below.
