A push up bra is bought for one reason, lift, so the best one is the style you will actually wear with the outfits you own. We read the Amazon Australia listing for every bra below and ranked them by the ratings buyers have left, starting with the push up bra that has the most.
Store category pages show a range but do not rank it. Here every pick has one role, the rating with its count, and an honest catch, so you can choose between a padded lace underwire, a front closure, a wireless bralette and a sticky bra in one read.
Best push up bra overall: Smart & Sexy Signature Lace Push Up Bra
Best push up bra overall: the Smart & Sexy Signature Lace Push Up Bra, because it has the most ratings of any push up bra we could check, over 19,000 at 4.2 stars.
The listing names it the Signature Lace Push Up Bra from Smart & Sexy. It has 4.2 stars from 19,178 ratings, the biggest count of any push up bra on this page, so it is the one with the most buyer evidence behind it.
It suits anyone who wants a lace push up bra that thousands of people have already rated. The honest catch: the rating is pooled across the listing's colours and sizes, and the listing gives no feature list beyond the title, so check the colour and size you want on the listing.
Best padded lace underwire: Deyllo Push Up Lace Bra
Best padded lace underwire: the Deyllo Push Up Lace Bra, because it is a lift up style that adds one cup and holds 4.3 stars from nearly 8,000 ratings.
The listing title calls it a push up lace bra with comfort padding and an underwire, and says it lifts up and adds one cup. It has 4.3 stars from 7,926 ratings, a higher score than the Smart & Sexy. The listing gives no other features beyond its title.
It suits someone who wants a padded lace bra with a wire and a higher rating than the top pick. The honest catch: the rating is pooled across colours and sizes, and the listing gives no feature list beyond its title, so read the size chart before you order.
Best front closure: Dobreva Front Closure Push Up Bra
Best front closure: the Dobreva Front Closure Push Up Bra, because it pairs an underwire push up shape with a front fastening and has close to 10,000 ratings.
The listing title says front closure, push up and underwire. It has 4.1 stars from 9,909 ratings. No other pick here has a front fastening in its title.
It suits anyone who finds a back hook awkward or wants to fasten the bra at the front. The honest catch: 4.1 stars is the lowest rating among the regular bras here, the rating is pooled, and the listing says it is discontinued by the manufacturer.
Best from a lingerie brand: Maidenform Love The Lift DreamWire
Best from a lingerie brand: the Maidenform Love The Lift DreamWire Push Up Bra, because it is a push up from a known lingerie brand with DreamWire in its name and 4.2 stars from nearly 7,000 ratings.
The listing names it the Love The Lift DreamWire Push Up Bra from Maidenform. It has 4.2 stars from 6,968 ratings, the fourth biggest count on this page.
It suits someone who prefers to buy a known lingerie brand with a big rating count behind it. The honest catch: the rating is pooled across colours and sizes, and the listing gives no feature list, so the lace and cup details are worth checking on the colour you choose.
Best Wonderbra: Wonderbra Full Effect Push Up
Best Wonderbra: the Wonderbra Full Effect Push Up Everyday Bra, because it is the push up bra from the brand known for the style, at 4.3 stars from over 1,500 ratings.
The listing title reads Full Effect push up everyday bra from Wonderbra. It has 4.3 stars from 1,584 ratings, matching the Deyllo and BOUFOR scores.
It suits anyone who wants the Wonderbra name specifically. The honest catch: it has fewer ratings than the Smart & Sexy, Deyllo, Dobreva and Maidenform, and the listing holds no feature detail beyond the title.
Best two pack: Amazon Essentials Lace Lined Push Up Bra
Best two pack: the Amazon Essentials Stretch All Over Lace Lined Push Up Bra, because two lined lace push up bras come in one pack.
The listing describes a stretch all over lace, lined push up bra, sold as a pack of 2. It has 4.2 stars from 157 ratings.
It suits someone who wants a spare so one bra can be in the wash. The honest catch: only 157 ratings so far, a thin count next to the 19,000 behind the top pick.
Best wireless deep V: BOUFOR Deep V Push Up Bralette
Best wireless deep V: the BOUFOR Deep V Push Up Bralette, because it is a padded, wireless, seamless low cut style rated 4.3 stars from over 700 ratings.
The listing title describes a deep V, low cut push up bralette that is padded, wireless and seamless, with smoothing and lifting in the title. It has 4.3 stars from 709 ratings.
It suits someone who wants a push up look under a low neckline without an underwire. The honest catch: it is a bralette cut rather than a classic underwire bra, so it suits low necklines more than full support.
Best strapless adhesive: Cmojsk Sticky Push Up Bra
Best strapless adhesive: the Cmojsk Sticky Bra, because it is a backless, strapless adhesive push up sold as 2 pairs with 4.3 stars from over 2,300 ratings.
The listing title calls it a sticky bra, backless and strapless, an adhesive, invisible lift up push up, and it comes as 2 pairs. It has 4.3 stars from 2,328 ratings.
It suits backless dresses and strapless tops where a regular bra would show. The honest catch: an adhesive bra is a different product from a regular push up bra, so judge it as a helper for one outfit, not a daily bra.
How to choose a push up bra
Choose the style before the brand
Four styles are on this page: classic push up bras (Smart & Sexy, Deyllo, Maidenform, Wonderbra and Amazon Essentials), a front closure (Dobreva), a wireless bralette (BOUFOR) and an adhesive strapless (Cmojsk). Decide which one fits your outfits and neckline, then compare ratings within that style.
Underwire or wireless
The Deyllo and Dobreva titles name an underwire, and the BOUFOR title says wireless. The other listings do not say either way, so check before you buy. If you want to skip the underwire, our wireless bra guide compares more options.
Closures, straps and necklines
A front closure is named on the Dobreva alone. A deep V cut suits low necklines, which is what the BOUFOR is built for. For off the shoulder tops, the Cmojsk has no straps, and our strapless bra guide covers regular strapless bras too.
Padding and what the listing says
Push up bras vary in how much they lift, and the listings give little detail. The Deyllo title says it adds one cup, the BOUFOR title says padded, and the Amazon Essentials title says lined. Where a listing gives no more than a title, we say so rather than guess.
Read the rating count, not just the stars
Stars alone mislead. The Smart & Sexy has 4.2 stars from more than 19,000 ratings, while the Amazon Essentials has 4.2 from 157. A big count means more people with different bodies and sizes have rated it. Every rating here is pooled across colours and sizes.
Sizing
Sizes are shown the way each listing gives them, and we do not convert between sizing systems. Open the size chart on the listing for the exact bra you pick. For an everyday bra under fitted tops, our T shirt bra guide may suit better than a push up.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best push up bra in Australia?
For most people it is the Smart & Sexy Signature Lace Push Up Bra, which has the most ratings of any push up bra we checked, over 19,000 at 4.2 stars. The Deyllo scores a little higher at 4.3 from nearly 8,000 ratings if you want a padded lace underwire instead.
What is the best push up bra for a small chest?
The Deyllo is the pick to start with, because its listing title says lift up and add one cup, and it holds 4.3 stars from nearly 8,000 ratings. The listings give no fit notes for a small chest, so check each size chart. The BOUFOR bralette is a padded, wireless alternative.
What is the best strapless push up bra?
The Cmojsk Sticky Bra is the strapless pick here: the listing describes a backless, strapless adhesive push up sold as 2 pairs, with 4.3 stars from over 2,300 ratings. It is an adhesive style rather than a regular bra, so it suits certain outfits, not every day.
What is the best wireless or wire free push up bra?
The BOUFOR Deep V Push Up Bralette is our wireless pick. The listing title describes a padded, wireless, seamless, low cut bralette, and it holds 4.3 stars from over 700 ratings. It is a bralette cut, so the Smart & Sexy suits you better if you want a classic bra shape.
Which push up bra has a front closure?
The Dobreva Front Closure Push Up Bra pairs an underwire with a front fastening, according to its listing title, and has close to 10,000 ratings at 4.1 stars. That is the lowest rating of the picks here, and the listing notes it is discontinued by the manufacturer.
What does a push up bra do?
A push up bra is a padded style made to lift and shape. The Deyllo listing title says it lifts up and adds one cup, and the Maidenform Love The Lift DreamWire carries the lift idea in its name. How much difference you get depends on the bra and the size you pick.
Is Wonderbra or Maidenform better for a push up bra?
On ratings the Wonderbra Full Effect leads, with 4.3 stars from over 1,500 ratings against 4.2 stars from nearly 7,000 for the Maidenform Love The Lift DreamWire. The Maidenform has far more ratings behind it, so it is the safer pick if you want a lingerie brand with a large count.
Is a sticky bra a real push up bra?
It lifts, but it is a different product. The Cmojsk listing describes an adhesive, backless, strapless push up with no straps and no back, so it replaces a regular bra only for outfits that need it. For daily wear the Smart & Sexy or the Deyllo is the better starting point.
Which push up bra gives the most lift?
The listings here do not use the words super or extreme. The closest claim is the Deyllo Push Up Lace Bra, whose title says it lifts up and adds one cup, with 4.3 stars from nearly 8,000 ratings. The BOUFOR bralette title also says lifting. Pick the Deyllo if lift is the main goal.
