Padded bras, with a body fabric made with 83% recycled nylon
One padded bra sits in this collection: the Smooth Padded Bra, whose body fabric is made with 83% recycled nylon, in nine colours and in sizes XXS to XXXL. It comes as a single bra or as a 2-pack of the same style.
What makes a bra a padded bra?
A shaped layer built into the cup, so the cup holds its form off the body rather than taking it only from what is inside it. That is what separates a padded cup from an unlined or a soft cup, and it is a construction difference rather than a size or a coverage one. It is also why a padded bra and a push-up bra are not the same thing: padding fills the cup, where a push-up is angled to move the breast.
How it is built
The cup is padded, the underband is a separate piece, and the cup lining is a third. All three are listed individually on the product page, because they are genuinely different fabrics rather than one cloth used throughout. Elastane makes up the remainder of the body fabric.
Colours
Nine: Black, Hazelnut, Moody, Off White, Pink, Sandstone, Seaweed, Sky Blue and Walnut. That covers the neutral end as well as a few brighter ones, and the full size run is available across them.
Choosing between the single bra and the 2-pack is a question of quantity. The 2-pack holds two of the same Smooth Padded Bra rather than two different cups or shades, so nothing about the fit or the fabric changes between the two listings.
Sizes and fit
Sizes run XXS to XXXL, in letter sizes rather than in cup-and-band sizes. A letter-sized bra is measured differently from a 75B, so the size guide on the product page is the thing to read rather than the size you take in an underwired bra.
If a padded cup is not what you want
The rest of our bras include soft-cup and unlined styles, several of them in cotton rather than in nylon.
