Gel bras are bras with liquid-filled or gel inserts designed to enhance the bust line and create a more dramatic cleavage. They come in various sizes, colors, and styles and can be purchased from specialty companies online, lingerie boutiques, and department stores. Gel inserts are commonly found in structured cup bras and underwire bras, and can be placed in the lower half of the cup to create lift and enhance cleavage. They can be worn with almost any outfit and are often chosen as a base for outfits that emphasize the bust. Some bikinis and swimsuits also contain built-in gel bras.
The term “gel bra” is most often used to describe a bra with liquid-filled or gel inserts designed to enhance the bust line. Such bras are most often worn to provide lift and create a more dramatic cleavage. They come in a variety of sizes, colors, and styles and are available through several manufacturers. Gel bras can be purchased from specialty companies online, in most lingerie boutiques, and in the lingerie department of many department stores and women’s clothing stores.
A gel bra is made by creating shaped inserts, usually made of flexible plastic or PVC, filling them with gel, and placing them in pockets sewn into the inner surface of the bra cup. Many bras of this type are designed to be worn with or without the inserts, depending on the look the wearer wishes to achieve. Gel inserts are most commonly found in bras already designed to create lift, such as structured cup bras and underwire bras. They are also frequently seen in bras designed for nighttime wear, such as strapless, low-back, and plunging bras.
Inserts are most often placed in the lower half of the cup to create lift. They can also be angled to push the breasts in, enhancing cleavage. Some manufacturers offer inserts that can increase the apparent size of the breasts by one cup size or more.
Most gel bras use silicone gel, although some use other materials. A bra with air pillows or water filled inserts can give similar results to a gel bra. Body heat typically warms the gel, allowing the inserts to mold around the wearer’s breast, offering a more natural look. However, some gel inserts are designed to chill or freeze, adding to the appearance of “perkiness.”
Gel bras can be worn with almost any outfit, but are often chosen as a base for outfits that emphasize the bust. A dramatic neckline can be created by pairing a gel bra with a dress or top with a low or plunging neckline. Gel inserts should always be removed before machine washing.
Some bikinis and swimsuits also contain built-in gel bras. Gel inserts can also be purchased separately and worn with the wearer’s existing bras. Such inserts, or pockets for such inserts, can also be found in formal dresses that have necklines or other design features that do not allow for a bra.
