So, I have a boob problem, and some advice would be really cool. My boobs are reasonably big (I like them), and they're only slightly far set, but I cannot ever get cleavage. The only time I can get cleavage, the bra is too small and if I stand in anything but the perfect way, I get major quad-boob, but if I try changing sizes in the same style, the cleavage disappears. Any idea how I might get cleavage without squishing out the top or gapping?

  • What do you mean by cleavage exactly? You mean boobs smushed together type cleavage? Most underwired bras are designed specifically NOT do this if they fit properly. The whole raison d'etre of the underwire is to support the bust by bracing the whole structure of the bra against the ribcage and supporting the boobs by lifting them upwards, not inwards towards one another. To do this, the bra relies on the gore resting in between the breasts and separating them. Women who are very close-set and have a lot of inner fullness may still get "boobs meeting" cleavage regardless because the breast tissue overflows a bit above the gore, but for other wearers this is not the case. Some heavily padded plunges are made to do the squishing together thing, but they tend not to be available in higher cup sizes.

    Since you are not extraordinarily close-set, to get touching cleavage you need to look for the minority of underwired bras which are really specifically designed for this (some plunges, e.g. Comexim, are clearly made with this effect in mind) or else go for a nonwired bra.

  • Yes, I mean my boobs being somewhat together. I don't need anything extreme, but I don't want there to be a huge empty space when I wear low cut tops. Bread made for cleavage give me the quad before the togetherness... perhaps it's just not a look I can have.
