Top 5 Bra Characters Every Woman Needs In Her Life

Don’t worry, ladies, you’re not alone! Unless you’re the lucky few who enjoy ‘Marie Kondo-ing’ their underwear drawer regularly, most of us go through life hoarding bras simply because intimates are a woman’s best friend. They’ve been through good and bad times with us and supported us unconditionally; we totally understand that it’s hard to part ways!

Morning person or not, we all need a streamlined experience picking out an everyday bra so we can get on with the busy day ahead. 

Priorities: Comfort, support and versatility

When choosing your Everyday Champion, you need to consider your breast shape, lifestyle and personal preference. For example, what are you most likely to wear during the week? What’s your laundry routine like? Three to four options here should get you through the week nicely.

Two in a neutral colour like black, white or nude - again, choose with your outfit choices in mind

One for more casual looks - Underwire, Bralette and Wireless Bras are great options here (as long as they suit your breast shape)

One for medium to full support - try T-Shirt, Push-Up Plunge and Contour Bras

With the rise of activewear as casualwear, the line between style and support for Sports Bras has been ingeniously blurred.

Priorities: Innovation, comfort, support and style

When choosing your Action Star, you need to consider your exercise routine and breast size. Those who love low-impact sports like yoga, pilates or a brisk walk can select styles with foundational support in high-stretch sweat-wicking fabrications. On the other hand, if you’re more into F45, sports involving running, or if you have larger breasts, you’ll probably need the ‘whole nine yards’ of Sports Bras.

The amount of sports bras you need will depend on the number of times you exercise in a week. We suggest at least two in your drawer as a base and use one per session of exercise.

Let’s face it, as women, we have it good when it comes to fashion; slinky dresses, strapless tops, backless jumpsuits - you name it. So make sure you have a few Swiss Army Knife-Esque bras that keep you confident in those tricky outfits.

Priorities: Versatility, security, support, discretion

When choosing your Spy, don’t just think about what’s currently in your wardrobe; fashion is ever-changing, better to cover all the bases. We recommend filling your drawer with two bras and a couple of Solutions.

One light or nude tone Strapless Bra with removable straps
One in a dark or black colour
A couple of Solutions like our adhesive plunge bra, silicone nipple covers and dressing tape

Flaunt it for you, flaunt it for that special someone in your life; either way, nothing makes us happier than knowing you’re confidently showing off what your mama gave ya! Express yourself in luxurious laces, rich jewel-tone colours and 200% boost cups. 

Priority: Something “extra” - whatever that means to you.

When choosing to Show-Off, be creative and have fun with experimenting outside of your comfort zone. If you never try, you’ll never know! This is 100% a treat-yourself type of situation, so please, treat away.

Life brings us all sorts of wonders, and these Special Agents are here to help on a case-by-case basis. 

• Maternity and Nursing Bras- We understand that this magical period of your life is also one of the most challenging, so you’ll need bras that are just as tough as you. Fit, durability and comfort are of utmost importance; a good maternity bra will protect the sensitive breast tissue and ligaments that can be stretched during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. We recommend two to three to start and then add more later as required.

Keeping well-balanced bra characters in your life is the pinnacle of self-care. Remember, you don’t have to do this alone. There are friendly and knowledgeable Fit Experts at every Bendon Lingerie store who can help you find the best fit and style from our extensive range of lingerie.
