Women's Visual Effects Unlined Full Coverage Underwire Minimizer Bra, 857210

I’ve been using this bra practically everyday for 5 years now (I replace it 1-2 times per year due to understandable wear and tear) and let me tell you this has been the BEST bra BY FAR on my incredibly long journey since puberty of struggling with managing my annoyingly large chest to make it look normal and proportional. I currently wear a 36H (I’m 5’7” and roughly 235lbs) and I used to wear larger band sizes when I used to be heavier (for example I wore a 40H when I was 295lbs). I love this bra because it gives a minimizing effect to make my chest look more proportional to my frame, but still gives them a nice attractive round shape instead of making your ta-tas look like they’re flattened. It’s also fairly comfortable in my opinion (well, as comfortable as H cups can be), the fabric is durable, it’s very supportive, and it’s a really good fit for those with “East/west” shaped boobs. The only modification I make to this bra however, is I almost always wear it with pasties underneath the bra, simply because if I get hard nipples on a chilly day then EVERYBODY will see them as clear as day without the pasties (there is absolutely no padding in this bra- a positive and rare find for large chested women in my opinion). It’s been great for being more modest in the workplace, but also makes you feel supported, comfortable, and attractive in personal world activities as well. It has worked well with most tops, aside from super low cut tops. Recommend for the large chested women out there frustrated with being able to find an appropriate fit!!!

I always had a problem with my period changing the size of my breasts throughout the month, so I went looking for a bra that would be the most stretchy. When I found this I haven't been able to switch bras. There's been times that I tried a new one- that never lasted more than a day. I've had this bra throughout tons of sizes with my body changing over the years and never had any problems with it. With my most recent size I needed an extension just cause I liked that better than changing sizes. I generally try it on in the store and then buy more online being that it tends to be cheaper online but I hate buying and returning. The only issue has been that I've gotten comments from my mom and a judge family member that it doesn't lift well enough, but I think shortening the straps may help with that if it proves to be an issue. I'm a 34G though and have found it to support great. Overall, the stretchiness, comfortability, and support is great, but you may need to shorten the straps.

Like most/many women who buy minimizers I have a larger chest. I wear a size 42 G bra. I've tried a few $20-$30 highly rated minimizers, over the past two decades, but have never been personally '5 star' satisfied. So, I did a little 'google' research and decided to try a Wacoal bra. I ordered both this bra and the $50/prime Wacoal NON-plus size minimizer. Both were a size 42 G. To further put it in perspective- I wear a size 16-18 shirt/top. I tried on both- one right after the other. I found this plus size version to fit much better and the cut more comfortable. I work 12hr days & this bra was PHENOMENAL all 12 hrs. When I took my shirt off, after getting home, my boobs were in the same EXACT place I had finagled them into 12hrs earlier. No pooching or scootching whatsoever! I guess my left boob is slightly larger (as it's not readily obvious) because in my other (Bali) minimizers it would somehow find a way to 'top surface' and cause the dreaded- boob within a boob pooch. As attractive as this might be in a push-up bra I did not expect or want it in a minimizer. Especially so, considering it was only ever a one-sided event! Even after 12hrs of work- much to my delight- 'Lefty Lu' was still in her assigned place with this bra. I'm a believer. A new found Wacoal girl! A few other tidbits as to how I plan on forever keeping 'Lefty Lu' in her place. Since, to date, I don't have a money tree in my backyard I plan to only ever hand wash this bra with a salad shooter as my secret cleaning weapon :). I read all about the how to's. NEVER wring out...lightly pat dry between towels and lay flat on a sweater rack to allow complete dry. Seriously, though- it's worth the money to keep such a good fit and feel in the best shape possible. FYI: I read about a salad shooter as being one of the best ways to thoroughly and gently clean a bra. It's better than hand washing alone and just as gentle. Good Luck Friends!

Super sturdy and fit my post-breastfeeding girls in an awesome way; lifted and supported without being weird and bulky. After a year of EXCESSIVE use the wires finally started to poke through (and I mean wearing to bed sometimes).

Great fit and great support

If I could give this product no stars I would. It sucks. I’m not sure if the material changed or what but I wore this bra for like a decade but I’ve noticed I’ve had to buy almost 5 of them recently because they don’t minimize the way they use to. They still make my chest look and feel huge and crazy because the quality went down but the price went up. From a Wacoal buyer of 10 years and sad to say it but don’t buy this. I’ll be trying new brands and if anyone has any recommendations please let me know but Wacoal definitely changed their material without warning and I’m wasting money so they’ll never receive another dime of mine

I bought it about a month ago. The color is beautiful and the size fits me perfectly, but the fabric is thinner than I expected. The cups make the chest point a bit to the sides, which doesn’t look very flattering and makes me feel less confident wearing it. It’s still comfortable and soft, but overall it feels more like a light everyday piece rather than something with good support.

I am a semicentenarian which comes with all the symptoms including large breasts. (No, I never had cosmetic breast surgery for enlargement nor reduction). This bra actually does minimize the large breast cup size appearance. I can now wear fitted tops with confidence without being self-conscious for large breasts appearance. It is very comfortable and does provide sufficient support. I like the non-padding which most bras comes with the stupid padding. I would purchase again in a different color for blue. I do wish this item comes in sky blue color or red. The packaging came with a clear plastic hanger which was broken during shipment and I have no use for this hanger. I do not hang my bras for storage.
