This guide gives you advice on the best bikini bra for your body shape.

Full Cup

Each cup is designed with a three sections, to gain a modest level of coverage.

The straps and side sings of the full cup bra are designed thicker than that of other bra styles, in order to gain a secure fit.

This bra style would be suitable for women who have a big bust. These bras give extra protection and comfortable support.

Balcony

The balcony bra is considered the most popular bra style for bikini’s, as well as lingerie.

It is traditionally designed with a three section cup similar to a full cup bra, but with less material to help expose the cleavage.The straps are designed wider than a full cup bra, to expose more of the neckline and cleavage.

This bra style would be suitable for all bust types.

Bandeau

The bandeau bra (also known as the strapless bra) is frequently designed with detachable straps (standard or halter style bra straps) for added support, if required.

At the front of these bras the material is sometime twisted, this helps cover the joining of the bra and stylishly adds a distinct level of sexiness. Gripper elastic is lined within the wings of bandeau bra to help make sure it stays in place.

This bra style would be suitable for all bust types; you should at least own one bandeau bra in your bikini collection.

Plunge

The plunge bra helps uplift and add shape to breasts; this particular bra style was made popular by Wonderbra.

Plunge bras are very similar to balcony bras as they both have two or three sections within, but have a lower cut to expose more cleavage. It also has wide setting straps to help expose the neck and back area.

This bra style would be suitable for women with firmer bust types.

Triangle & Halter Neck

The triangle bra is a combination of both the plunge and halter neck bikini bras, so it therefore benefits from the cleavage depth and exposure of the neck and back areas. The only distinct difference the triangle bra has from any other bikini bra is that each cup is designed in the shape of a triangle.

Triangle bras are often designed with no under-wire, so therefore there is not as much support or uplift compared to that of a traditional plunge or halter.

This bra style would be suitable for women with smaller bust types.
