FAQs
How does this bra reduce the appearance of the bust?
The bra is designed with cups that gently redistribute breast tissue to create a smoother, flatter profile, reducing the visible size by up to one cup size without significant compression.
Is this bra padded?
No, the Berlei Beauty Stripe Underwired Minimiser Bra features non-padded, seamless cups for a smooth look under clothing and effective minimisation.
What is the best way to wash this bra?
It is recommended to hand wash the bra in cold water with a mild detergent or use a machine on a gentle cycle. Always lay flat to dry.
Can I put this bra in the dryer?
No, it is crucial not to tumble dry this bra. The heat can damage the elastic in the straps and the integrity of the underwire casing.
Who is this bra best suited for?
This bra is ideal for fuller-busted individuals looking to reduce their bust's appearance for a smoother silhouette under clothing, particularly benefiting those who wear sizes requiring extra support.
What does 'underwired' mean?
Underwired means there is a flexible metal or plastic strip sewn into the bottom of each cup to provide shape, lift, and support to the breasts.
What does 'minimiser bra' mean?
A minimiser bra is designed to reduce the perceived size of the bust by redistributing tissue, creating a smoother, less projected profile under clothing. It does not flatten the chest but rather offers a more streamlined appearance.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging into shoulders
Adjust the shoulder straps to a comfortable, secure fit. Ensure the band is sitting correctly on your ribcage, as an ill-fitting band can cause straps to dig in.
Bra band riding up
Check if the band size is correct. The band should be snug and level around your body. If it's too loose, it will ride up. Ensure you are using the loosest hook setting when new for a better fit as it stretches.
Cups not providing desired minimisation
Ensure the bra is the correct size and that the cups are fully encompassing the breast tissue. Adjust straps and band for optimal positioning.
Underwire discomfort
Verify the bra size is correct, as an incorrect size can lead to underwire poking. Ensure the underwire channel is sitting flat against the ribcage.
