FAQs
What does 'minimiser bra' mean?
A minimiser bra is designed to reduce the appearance of the bust size by redistributing breast tissue, making the bust look up to one size smaller. It does not compress the breast.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The band should sit level on your back, and you should be able to fit two fingers comfortably underneath it. The cups should fully contain your breasts without spilling over or creating gaps. The straps should stay in place without digging in.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, this bra is hand wash only. Machine washing, especially with heat, can damage the fabric, straps, and underwire.
Why should I not tumble dry the bra?
The heat from a tumble dryer can damage the elasticity of the fabric, degrade the materials in the straps and rings, and potentially cause them to break.
Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the supersoft lining, padded straps, and supportive design make it suitable for everyday wear, especially for those seeking comfort and minimisation.
What materials is the bra made from?
The bra is made from 62% Polyamide, 20% Elastane, and 18% Polyester, exclusive of trims.
What sizes are available?
This specific model (B541) is available in various sizes, including up to a 44G, catering to fuller busts and larger back sizes.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging into shoulders
Ensure the bra band is at the correct level and not too tight. Adjust the shoulder straps to a comfortable tension.
Underwire discomfort
Verify that the bra size is correct and the underwire is sitting correctly around the bust. If discomfort persists, the bra may not be the right fit for your shape.
Bra feels unsupportive
Check that the band is snug and level. Ensure the cups are fully enclosing the breast. The bra may be worn out or the size may be incorrect.

Compatibility: This bra is designed for adult females with fuller busts, particularly those requiring minimisation and support. It is compatible with most types of clothing due to its smooth, high-coverage cups.
Care Instructions:
