FAQs
What does 'minimizer bra' mean?
A minimizer bra is designed to reduce the apparent size of the bust by redistributing breast tissue, making the bust appear flatter and smaller, typically by up to one cup size.
Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the Berlei Beauty Stripe Minimiser Bra is designed for comfortable everyday support, especially for fuller busts, due to its padded straps and soft lining.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, this bra should only be hand washed in cool water with a mild detergent. Do not tumble dry.
What type of support does this bra offer?
It offers underwired support, providing structure and shape to the bust.
Will this bra be visible under tight clothing?
The smooth, high-coverage cups are designed to be invisible under clothing, offering a seamless look.
What material is the bra made from?
The material composition is 62% Polyamide, 20% Elastane, and 18% Polyester (exclusive of trims).
Is this bra padded?
The cups are lightweight and non-padded, focusing on minimizing and smoothing rather than adding volume.
Troubleshooting
Bra is uncomfortable or digging in
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check that the straps are adjusted properly and not too tight. The underband should be snug but not constricting.
Underwire is poking out
This usually indicates wear and tear or damage to the fabric casing. Cease wearing the bra and consider replacement. Avoid excessive force during washing or wearing.
Straps are slipping
Adjust the strap length using the sliders. Ensure the bra band is sitting correctly on your ribcage, as a band that is too loose can cause straps to slip.
Minimizing effect is not as expected
Ensure the bra is the correct size and that the cups fully contain the breast tissue. Proper fit is crucial for the minimizing effect to work as intended.
