FAQs

What does 'minimiser bra' mean?

A minimiser bra is designed to distribute breast tissue more evenly across the chest, which visually reduces the appearance of the bust size, often by up to one cup size. It does not physically reduce breast size.

What is the best way to care for this bra?

This bra should only be hand washed in cool water with a mild detergent. It must not be tumble dried; always air dry away from direct heat.

Who is this bra best suited for?

It is ideal for individuals with fuller busts and larger back sizes who are looking for support and a reduction in the appearance of their bust size, as well as a smooth silhouette under clothing.

Can I wear this bra under tight-fitting clothes?

Yes, the smooth, high-coverage cups are designed to be invisible under clothing, making it suitable for wearing with tighter garments where you want a sleek look.

What material is the bra made of?

The bra is made of 62% Polyamide, 20% Elastane, and 18% Polyester, exclusive of trims.

What is the benefit of the padded front straps?

The wide padded front straps are designed to distribute pressure more evenly across the shoulders, providing comfort and reducing the likelihood of red marks.

Troubleshooting

Straps digging into shoulders

Ensure the bra is the correct size and that the straps are adjusted properly, not too tight. The padded design aims to prevent this, but incorrect fit can still cause discomfort.

Bra not providing enough support

Verify that the band is sitting level on the back and is snug but not too tight. The back wing should lie flat against the skin. Check that the cup size is correct.

Appearance of bust not reduced as expected

Ensure the bra is fitted correctly, with all fabric smoothed into the cups and the band sitting at the right level. The minimisation is by visual effect and up to one cup size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Hand Wash Only: To maintain the integrity of the fabric and construction, this bra must be hand washed in cool water with a mild detergent.
