Where have you been all of my life??

I was shopping for lingerie with my sister and I happened across the Wacoal Minimizer bra. First of all, I didn't even know I could find a bra in-store in MY size. Let's just say I'm a busty girl. After the associate scoffed at Lane Bryant's Cacique bras that I've been wearing, I tried on this Wacoal bra. I think may have passed out for a second due to extreme bliss. I cannot EVER remember trying on a bra that was so comfortable AND it's an underwire. And let me tell you, being busty, I've tried them all! I couldn't buy the bra that day, but a few days later, I got online and ordered 2 for me and convinced my sister to order one too. We are happy. Even though it's a minimizer, it does not flatten your breasts (that uni-bosom look) or bulge out on the sides. The quality is top notch and I will be buying more. This is a must for any woman, no matter your size.

Didn't "tack"

I really wanted this brought to work. Unfortunately it didn't lay flat in between my breasts and "tack". Other bras in this size were a better fit for me.

Not the bra for DD and larger

I wear Wacoal bras, and needed a new one, so I selected this one online. While it was fairly comfortable initially, in addition to not providing the support I require (34DD), when I took it off at the end of the day, there were deep gouges in my shoulders from the too-narrow straps. I think this bra would be better for someone who requires a smaller cup size, but the straps are too narrow to support DDs.

best bra in my arsonal

Bought this and promptly forgot about it. Finally wore down my old faithfuls and went through my drawer to see if I had anything before heading to the store. Found this and immediately brought it on a monthlong trek through Europe. I wore it almost every day and it’s amazing. I can’t believe I went this long without wearing it. I’m a 34I and even though nothing makes my boobs look smaller this sure tried. Highly recommend.

not comfortable

I bought this after I was told I am no longer a 32 dd but a 30G! At first when I tried it on, I thought it would work as it did reduce by bust a little. However, since the wiring was lower than other bras I have worn, the wiring hit my ribs and really hurt when I breathed. Not something I could wear for long. Also "the girls" were a bit jiggly.

Not really comfortable or supportive

Didn't really like this bra. The band was rather tight, although I suspect it would stretch out rather soon as the fabric was rather stretchy and no very substantial. It didn't really feel very minimizing or supportive. It will be returned.

Pretty and Effective

Excellent Full Figure Minimizer. I have used Wacoal for ages. I have a slight overflow on one cup, but that is me. A 60 year old woman with 60 year old needs. This fits the bill as do other wacoal bras. The nice thing about this bra is the straps are thin and the back closure is only 2 hooks, I am a 38 DD, so most Bras in my size have thick straps and 4 hooks. For me the center front piece lays flat and the wire does not cut into my short waited petite figure. No small task for such a delicate item. For all those reasons, I give, 5 stars.
