Have you heard about a shelf bra without knowing exactly what it is? Someone might even refer to it as an open bust bra but there is something more to it than just showing your breasts. It is a true key of seduction but that is not the ultimate goal of the bra.

The first thing what comes to mind when you hear the name of these things is a shelf at a supermarket. Then you start to think about a shopping bag bra. Well that is not what we are looking for since a shelf bra has it's name from basically being a shelf to show off the breasts. Providing the best possible view of someones boobs can easily be achieved by wearing one of these open cup bras. Like a showcase you put your chest in and let the one you want to see enjoy his or hers view. Besides that the shelf bra is not giving too much of support and is usually worn with a camisole.

The camisoles used with these types of bras are usually something sheer. Sheer meaning that they are almost or completely see through. They show a little bit of skin through the fabric and leave an nice and mysterious veil that leaves enough for the imagination but not too much. You can see what is happening down under and you like what you see. If you really want to exaggerate your curves you might want to try using a corset with a shelf bra, since it will give a great boost and pus your breasts up from the tummy. This can not be achieved with just a push up bra.

The people who have the most out of their bras are usually people who don't even need to wear one. You have to give it to them. If your breasts are naturally looking so good that you don't need to wear a shelf bra to improve your outlooks then the shelf bra will definitely make the looks a bit better. These people are of course the people who have breast implants. I don't like to admit this since I am a firm believer in firm and natural breasts, but when used with a stretch lace bra the implants really give out an exciting look.

So being a showcase these bras are definitely meant to be used for action. You can although use it with any kind of shirts and dresses especially if it is a backless shelf bra that does not have anything going around your back. This is usually achieved by using straps that go over your shoulder and then under your arm from the behind. That way you are getting the up pushing effect without really having anything in the back. Although you usually need a dress with shoulder straps to cover the straps from the bra. As hard as it can be to find a good dress I have to encourage you to get the bra for the dress, not the other way around.

When you have settled with the model that you want you need to check out the bra size charts to be sure that the shelf bra that you are getting is the best for you. I don't really mean that there is a lot of differences between the brands and the makers and even between the models that there are. But instead I mean that you need to approach the size thing a little bit different when you are searching for an open cup bra. You might want to go down one size since the whole point of getting these is to make your breasts look bigger so they need to look a little like they are coming out from the bra. This is the effect that most of the exotic dancers are looking for and that is one of the main reasons why they are using a shelf bra all the time. You see it when you go to the local gentlemans club. If there is not a shelf bra then there is a half cup bra or something else nice and seductive.

If you have not changed your mind by now of getting a bra then you need to keep in mind that this is no type of lingerie to be getting if you are not intending on using it with a man. It would be terribly rude to own a pair of open cup lingerie and not use it. That would make your boyfriend or lover crazy because all he could think would be what you look like when wearing a shelf bra. Do yourself and your man a favour and combine it with long stockings and high heels and you are on your way to a nice night of pure pleasure.
