A supportive bra is designed to provide extra lift, support, and shape to the wearer's breasts. It is typically made of thicker material, has wider straps and a wide underbust band, and may also feature side support panels or extra cushioning in the cups. These features help to provide a more secure and comfortable fit while also providing additional support. A supportive bra can help to reduce pain and discomfort associated with larger breasts, as well as provide an attractive silhouette.
