A full-cup bra offers full coverage to shape, lift, and support the bust. It's a top choice for those with larger cup sizes, especially if you're looking for a bra that feels secure without spilling or segmenting your breast tissue.
Full-cup bras are available with or without underwires, and most styles feature seamed cups to provide structure and shape. The larger the cup size, the more seams you'll typically see—these allow for more volume and better support. Many styles also include a side panel or sling for added forward projection, helping bring the bust in from the sides for a more centred silhouette.
Why Choose a Full-Cup Bra?
Best for full-on-top or projected busts
Reduces bounce and strap slippage
Provides full containment and lift
Ideal for uneven or heavy breasts
In most full-cup styles, bra straps are positioned more centrally, directly above the bust point. This positioning improves support and helps prevent slipping—especially helpful if you've struggled with bra straps that fall off your shoulders.
What Breast Shapes Work Best in a Full-Cup Bra?
If you have:
Full-on-top breasts
Pendulous or projected breasts
Uneven breast volume
A larger bust and want full containment
…then a full-cup bra is likely to be your best match. It offers more coverage than a balcony or plunge bra, helping you feel supported and secure all day long.
