WacoalWomen's Visual Effects Minimizer Bra, Slate

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!!!

So lightweight. Excellent lift and support. The band is a bit more snug than the Wacoal back smoothing bra, but much better support and lift. Glad I bought this bra.

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.

I have purchased several wacoal bras in this style. Same fit etc. But just wanted to mention it is much more of a wine color than the pretty pink one in the picture.

Does its job as a minimizer but not supportive enough. I’m a 34DDD but after BF 2 kids in a row I feel more comfortable in a 36DD. At first this bra was a winner, I even bought another color, but after about a month they both lost all feeling of supportiveness and it’s back to the drawing board. Unfortunately it’s too late to return them so I’m not sure what I’m going to do with them.

Best bra! Comfortable, looks great, and really does minimize. I have in a few colors and keep coming back to it.

Smaller band than stated. Ordered a 42 and it was tagged as 42 but when I tried it on and realized it was much smaller I measured it and it's only 35. That's 6 inches smaller than it should be even with the stretch in the band. Super frustrating that this seems to be a trend with most brands I've bought.

Fits perfectly according to size. Love it!Only bad thing is no padding, but that’s why it fits so great and the girls stay in place.
