They should be about the size of your hand and\/or the width of your breast when laid across horizontally.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Place folded socks inside the bra cup<\/strong>.

Add more padding or switch to a thicker sock, if needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Do a final check in the mirror with your top on<\/strong> to make sure there are no odd lumps, bumps, or potential wardrobe malfunctions in the making (Super Bowl Janet Jackson, anyone?)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bonus Pro Tip:&nbsp;<\/strong>To further enhance the look of your chest, you can also use makeup!

Start with a small handful of tissues, folding in half or wadding up into loose balls and placing them inside the cup of your bra. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Continue stuffing until the desired fullness, smoothness, and natural boobilicious shape are achieved. If you have a bra that has a little insert pocket in the cup, you can also utilize this in the same way you would a pocket, placing the tissues in the insert to keep them \u201ctucked away\u201d nicely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you will notice, there are a few downsides to this method. Primarily, if you are looking for a large size increase, tissues simply don\u2019t have the density to hold a large shape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, moisture and sweat also can cause pilling, and scrunching or the tissues will simply fall apart. Do proceed with caution with this method and keep an eye on your stuffing throughout the day\/night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:&nbsp;<\/strong>If you are going to use this method, rest assured you can always easily re-stuff as needed no matter where your night\/day takes you. Toilet paper or tissues can conveniently be found everywhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just make sure to double-check you are all \u201ctucked-in\u201d before heading out of the loo!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Tissue Method Recap<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u200b<strong>Level of difficulty<\/strong>: Medium to hard depending on how many tissues are used and achieving the correct overall luscious boob shape.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pretty nice bonus:<\/strong> Easy access to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.refinery29.com\/oil-blotting-greasy-skin-care\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">face blotting materials<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u200b<strong>Enhancement Factor<\/strong>: Minimal<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tab-con-8\">The Double Bra Method<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The key to this method is in the selection of bras used to layer. &nbsp;It is best to stick with only using two bras and look for bras that have built-in or foam-insert padding. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"788\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.thebetterfit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/thebetterfit-how-to-stuff-bra-005-788x1200.jpg\" alt=\"Graphic image with a series of illustrations that shows how to stuff a bra using the double bra method\" class=\"wp-image-25377\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.thebetterfit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/thebetterfit-how-to-stuff-bra-005-788x1200.jpg 788w, https:\/\/staging.thebetterfit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/thebetterfit-how-to-stuff-bra-005-197x300.jpg 197w, https:\/\/staging.thebetterfit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/thebetterfit-how-to-stuff-bra-005-768x1170.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.thebetterfit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/thebetterfit-how-to-stuff-bra-005-1009x1536.jpg 1009w, https:\/\/staging.thebetterfit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/thebetterfit-how-to-stuff-bra-005-scaled.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/staging.thebetterfit.com\/victorias-secret-pink-wear-everywhere-push-up-bra\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Push-up bras<\/a> paired with strapless bras work best for this method!
