Why We Ditched Padded Bras And You Might Want To Too
Let’s talk about padded bras those ones with the thick foam cups that promise to be “supportive” and give “shape.” Sure, they might seem cute at first, but what’s hiding inside them isn’t always so sweet. If you’ve ever peeled off a padded bra and felt itchy, sweaty, or just not great, you’re not imagining it. There’s a reason your body says “no thanks” and it starts with what’s in the fabric.
What’s Actually in a Padded Bra?
Most padded bras are made with synthetic materials like polyester and nylon. But it’s the padding itself that gets extra icky. That squishy foam is usually made from polyurethane, a plastic based material treated with a cocktail of chemical dyes, bleaches, formaldehyde, and sometimes even flame retardants (yep like what’s in couches).
Some of these chemicals have been linked to:
- Skin irritation (hello, itchy red lines)
- Hormone disruption (not great when your body is still developing)
- Allergic reactions
- And even long-term exposure risks that scientists are still studying
Basically, the stuff inside padded bras is not something you want hanging out next to your skin all day.
Why teysha Says No to Padding
At teysha, we believe that what you wear under your clothes matters especially when it’s sitting against your skin all day. That’s why we make soft cup bras from 100% GOTS certified organic cotton, not foam, plastic, or harsh dyes.
Our bras are:
- Chemical free (no toxic finishes or treatments)
- Skin friendly (especially for sensitive teen skin)
- Comfy & breathable (no sweat trap padding!)
- Age appropriate & cute (made for you, not for someone else’s idea of “grown up”)
What Is a Soft Cup Bra?
A soft cup bra is a bra without hard underwire or heavy padding. It gives you gentle support and shape, but lets your body breathe and grow naturally. For teens and tweens going through body changes, soft cup bras are the perfect mix of comfort, style, and health.
At teysha, we design soft cup bras that:
- Fit your changing body (no pressure or squeezing)
- Feel like a second skin (seriously, so soft)
- Come in fun, wearable colours and shapes
- Have a cross back option if that's the support style you prefer
- Let you feel confident no padding required
Your Body, Your Choice
The truth is, you don’t need foam to feel good in a bra. You just need something that fits well, feels right, and isn’t made from scary stuff.
So if you’ve been itching (literally or figuratively) to ditch the pads, now’s the time. Switch to a teysha organic soft cup bra and give your body the love it deserves.
