The amanté know it all is taking you through the very basics of two types of bras to give you a low down of the difference between wired and non-wired bras. To be honest, it’s totally up to you whether you want to choose a wired style or a non-wired one. Each style comes with its own set of benefits and perks and we’re taking you to the bottom of it. Let’s start with the basics What is a Wired Bra? Shop: Wired Bras Most of you might have heard the term wired bra, but ever wondered what exactly wired bra means? Simply put, a wired bra is designed with a thin, semi-circular wire stitched along the underside of its cups. This wire adds structure, offering enhanced lift, support, and shape to your bust. Ideal for creating a well-defined silhouette, wired bras are perfect for occasions when you want to elevate your outfit and exude confidence. Wired bras come with a supporting wire that lies under the cup. What makes underwired bras so special is the fact that they give your breasts a superior lift while also giving you a boost in confidence. You’ve probably heard about the digging and punching of wired bras but amanté steps in to the rescue with the special patented underwire casing called Fortitube which makes wired bras super comfortable for all-day wear. This tube is 3 times more resistant to puncture and is flat & flexible giving you a good fit and endless comfort. To ensure good structure and a perfect fit, make sure to choose a bra that sits correctly below the breast tissue and not the rib cage. The bra should sit flat and not dig into or sit on top of any breast tissue. Now, what is a non-wired bra? Shop: Non-wired Bras Ever felt like giving your curves a break without compromising on support? That’s where a non-wired bra steps in! A non-wired bra, as the name suggests, skips the underwire and focuses on providing comfort through its soft, structured design. Perfect for relaxed days or long hours, it offers gentle support and natural shaping. Whether you’re lounging at home, running errands, or sporting casual outfits, a non-wired bra ensures you stay cozy while looking effortlessly stylish! Non-wired bras are usually without the wiring. They are gentler on the breasts and a tad bit more comfortable to lounge around in. Even though the underwire is absent, the band of the bra provides ample support to the breasts, so it’s especially comfortable for women with smaller bust size. Wired bra vs Non-Wired bra Ever found yourself wondering whether to pick a wired or non-wired bra? It all boils down to your needs—whether you’re after support or comfort. Wired bras have an underwire sewn into the cups, offering enhanced support and a sculpted shape, ideal for structured outfits or fuller busts. Non-wired bras, on the other hand, prioritize comfort with a soft band, delivering a natural silhouette suitable for everyday wear. amanté Difference Between Wired bra and Non-Wired bra Parameter Wired Bra Non-Wired Bra Support High support, especially for larger busts, providing a sculpted lift Moderate support, ideal for comfort and natural shaping Comfort Can feel snug or restrictive after extended wear Ultra-comfortable, perfect for all-day wear and lounging Shape Gives a lifted, contoured silhouette for a polished look Offers a soft, relaxed shape for a natural appearance Breast Type Best for heavier or fuller busts that need additional support Suits all breast types, especially smaller or evenly shaped busts Outfits Ideal for structured outfits like bodycon dresses, formal wear, and work attire Perfect for casual wear, loose-fitting tops, and loungewear Duration (Amanté Recommendation) Recommended for up to 6-8 hours for optimal comfort Can be comfortably worn for over 12 hours, depending on activity Style Elevates party looks, work outfits, or any style requiring a polished finish Achieves a laid-back, cozy, and effortless style Price Range ₹ 745 onwards ₹ 345 onwards Which Bra Works for Me? Understanding the Basics Wired Bras: Designed with an underwire that runs under the bust for added lift and support. Perfect for enhancing shape and providing a sculpted look. Ideal for: Women with larger busts, occasions requiring defined support, or for wearing under structured outfits. Non-Wired Bras: Wire-free designs focus on all-day comfort, with softer bands and fabrics for gentle support. They’re less restrictive and more natural-feeling. Ideal for: Everyday wear, lounging, or women with smaller busts seeking subtle support. You could take your pick based on the need, your outfit and the kind of support you’re looking for. We suggest wired styles for medium to larger sized breasts while non-wired styles work well for petite sizes. But that doesn’t mean a petite size can’t rock a wired style or vice versa.
