Maximize your Wardrobe with a Minimizer Bra
Our favorite way to go down a cup size in an instant.
Gone are the days of minimizer bras that uncomfortably stuff your breasts into a tight, compact bra. At Wacoal, we believe that feeling uncomfortable in your lingerie is just so passé. That’s why our trusted team of innovators created minimizer bras that make you look amazing while feeling comfortably supported. In other words, these aren’t your mother’s minimizer bras. They’re designed for a woman with multiple needs to be met. Below, we’re breaking down some questions you might have about our latest and greatest minimizing styles.
Q: What are its benefits?
A minimizer bra instantly reduces your bustline up to one inch (or one cup, seeing as one inch = one cup size), slimming down your overall shape, so your clothing fits you even better.
Q: How do I know if I need one?
Minimizers aren’t necessarily for everyone. If you’re one of those people who has long dreamed of having a smaller chest but never wanted to take any surgical measures to make this happen, a minimizer can be a great option.
Q: What kind of clothing do I wear one under?
While minimizers look great under pretty much everything, we think they look their best under tailored clothing—the pieces that really require your chest to look smaller and more compressed. They’re also a strong contender for under loose-fitting or free-flowing clothing. Often, with these pieces, there can be a “tent” effect when fabric cascades off of an overly protruding bustline. A minimizer reigns the bosom in, so you don’t look larger than you are.
Q: Are minimizers for women “of a certain age”?
Absolutely not. From teens to women in their golden years and from new moms to those without children, a minimizer bra can be great for anyone who simply wants to reduce their bust size.
