My Favorite Minimizer Bras


For women with large breasts, minimizer bras can help to de-emphasize the bust. Minimizer bras can create the illusion of being one to two cup sizes smaller by compressing and rearranging the breast tissue. However, some women complain that the compression from the bra is worse than the original problem.

For me, I only wear minimizer bras when it makes what I am wearing more flattering or appropriate. Most of the time I just go with what God gave me. Two popular minimizer bras are the Lilyette minimizer bra and Wacoal minimizer bra. The Lilyette minimizer bra is less expensive (1/2 the price) and may be the better value but the Wacoal minimizer bra is an Oprah favorite bra. Another consideration is that the Wacoal minimizer bra comes in sizes up to 40DDD; the Lilyette minimizer bra in sizes up to 42DDD.

If you need even larger cups or bands, please look at my pages on bras for large breasts and bras for plus sizes.
