Shopping for the perfect bra for everyday wear, a special occasion, or a new outfit?  With so many selections available it is sometimes hard to know where to start.  This simple guide will introduce you to six outstanding brands of women's bras, including high-end and average-priced lines.  All of these brands have been around for several decades and are on the leading edge of modern fabrics, bra manufacturing technologies, and current fashion trends.  They all offer women a comfortable, flattering fit.

Wacoal

Wacoal women's bras originated many years ago in Japan.  Now they are in demand, not only in Japan, but also in Europe and the United States.  They are known for their light, technologically advanced fabrics and well-fitting, beautiful designs.  Wacoal is so committed to fit that it has developed special collections for petite and full figured women.  Wacoal also excels at producing popular styles such as T-backs, push-ups, strapless bras, and sports bras.

Playtex

Playtex is a very well-known line that is part of American undergarment and bra-making history.  It originated in 1932 and has become one of the Hanesbrand apparel lines. Comfort, support, and fit are qualities valued and promoted by Playtex in its well-known bra collections such as Cross Your Heart Bras, Playtex 18 Hour and Playtex Secrets.  Playtex has selections to fit every figure, including plus size styles, half sizes, and nursing bras.  Their collections are available for browsing and fitting in major department stores.

Bali

Hanesbrand Inc. also acquired Bali, another well-established brand of women's bras.  The founders of Bali were pioneers in the development of women's undergarments.  Who would have imagined in 1927 that the hand-sewn creations of an entrepreneurial couple, Sara and Sam Stein, would eventually be sold in major department stores across the United States? Among recent inventions are the S-shaped gel strap and the "no-poke wire" technology for underwires.  Bali collections offer a one-stop option to women, young and old, with classic and modern tastes; full and average figures.

Chantelle

If you are looking for French lingerie, Chantelle may be your answer.  Chantelle undergarments are available globally. Originating over 100 years ago, Chantelle has kept up with the times, offering styles for older and younger women with diverse tastes and fitting needs.  Chantelle has an impressive range of sizes, with some collections including G and H cups.  For modern casual and business wear there is a wide range of smooth, seamless selections that can be worn under any outfit.

Maidenform

Maidenform is one of the first American bra designs, originating in New York in the 1920's.  Maidenform garments have evolved over the years, with steady improvements and new styles.  Maidenform prides itself in producing intimate wear that is attractive and well-fitting.  The Maidenform Lilyette line caters specifically to women who need plus sizes.  All bra variations are available from Maidenform-including backless, strapless convertibles, nursing bras, push-ups, sports styles, and back smoothers.

Vanity Fair

Vanity Fair has been in the business of clothing manufacturing for over 70 years, and has been making women's bras for over half of this time.  Perfect fit is a value reflected in corporate goals.  This goal is echoed in the name of one of its leading bra collections called "Fits you Perfectly".  Other bra collection titles reflect the importance of beauty and comfort, such as "Beautiful Benefits", "Enhance Your Looks", "Smooth Moves" and "My Satin Fantasy".  Beautiful and trendy selections are made to fit all sizes of women with petite, average, and full figures.

32A Bra - Go the Playtex Way!

!±8± 32A Bra - Go the Playtex Way!

One of the leading lingerie brands in the world, Playtex bras, owned by Hanes Inc., feature some of the best bras in terms of style, comfort and value for money. They even have the elusive 32A bra for petite women, which otherwise is little difficult to find. Even within the 32A bra size, they offer various colors and styles such as push-up bras, sleek bras or under-wire bras.

Playtex offers 8 different styles of bras based on the material, finish and occasion. These are discussed in detail below

Playtex Cross Your Heart Bra

This one is one of the most popular known bras around the world. It has a classic crisscross structure in the middle that ensures maximum comfort and the best fit. They have a huge range in the 32A bra category with options that include seamless cups, stretchy straps and lace panels.

Playtex 18 Hour Bras

This one is designed to provide the lay with an all-day comfort. This is done with the help of wide cushioned straps and stretchy fabric. Once again, this range starts from the 32A bra size and goes up and includes options with and without under-wire.

Playtex Secret Bras

These bras are designed for the more fashionably inclined. This entire range changes season to season with vibrant colors and matching briefs. The 32A bra category is a little difficult to find in this range but it is available.

Everyday Basics

This is their economical range but starts only from 34B onwards. Not an option for the 32A bra users.

Feel Beautiful

This collection is based more on elegance and finesse.

Thank Goodness It Fits!

For the 32A bra women, this one is a god send. This one has every option available for the petite women. Go ahead and play around with all of them.

Half Sizes Too

For women who find that they are nearly A or just a little beyond A, this stylish line offers variety along with comfort. This range is highly recommended for women who find it difficult to fit into the standard cup sizes.

Nursing Bras

These are obviously not for the size 32A users but I included them because they are part of the Playtex Line. Who knows, you might find them useful when you are expecting. With a lot of features, this line is very popular amongst nursing mothers.

There seems to be a never ending quest to design the perfect bra and while some great new designs come out every year there probably still isn't one that is considered perfect. Still, there are some that stand out over the others like the ones below.

Playtex is one of the oldest bra makers in the United States and while they may not be known for having the sexiest bras they are well known for their support and comfort, especially the eighteen hour design. This one features padded shoulder straps which keeps the shoulders from hurting and is excellent for those who are larger busted. This is an excellent choice for those women with extra support to keep everything in place.

Another popular choice these days is the low cut T-shirt bra from Gap. Not only does this bra feature outstanding comfort, flexibility, and style but it comes in a rainbow of colors at a great price. Another great plus is that it can be converted to a racerback style as well. One of the most popular colors is the nude color that is undetectable under white shirts or even lighter colors. This bra is also very durable and will last through many washes.

The Demi bra from Jockey has received rave reviews since it was first introduced. With well designed cups that are perfectly padded and well shaped this bra is great under tank tops and T-shirts. Another feature is the thin design of the straps which helps them to not be visible but at the same time does not cut into shoulders.

The Lily of France bra is one that serves multiple purposes as it can be worn for work and can be modified in the evening for a more sexy look. One of the best features is its ability to enhance one's cleavage giving lift and boost where it is needed. These bras are comparable to some of the more expensive types on the market at a more budget friendly price.

Of course no discussion about bras could be complete without mentioning Victoria's Secret. Their Gel Bra and the Very Sexy Bra are extremely popular for them and account for a lot of their sales. Not only are these super comfortable but they are also extremely durable in addition to being incredibly sexy.

Other noteworthy bras include those from Wacoal and Nu Bra. Wacoal tends to offer more utilitarian styles than sexy ones but they are a very good choice for especially for larger busted women as well as women who are larger in general as they have a wide range of cup sizes and support levels. The Divine Body Bra from Nu Bra is one that is excellent for enhancing one's bust size and features no straps.
