WHICH BRA IS BEST TO REDUCE BREAST SIZE?
A minimiser bra is best to reduce breast size. Minimizer bras are specially made to help give the appearance of a smaller bust.
WHAT IS A MINIMISER BRA AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
A minimiser bra is designed to make your breast look smaller, help stop the breasts protruding and prevent your clothing from gaping.
Minimising underwear is perfect for those looking to smooth their silhouette, look smaller and make their breast shape look more round. The cups in minimiser bras are specially created to reduce the bust size and give you a more rounded shape.
Minimiser bras work by either compressing the bust or redistributing the breast tissue within the cup. The bras that compress the breast, squash the bust against the chest using fuller coverage cups that help to contain the breast.
Minimizer bras that redistribute work by either guiding the breast tissue towards the armpit or towards the centre of the body giving you more of a cleavage. The breasts become wider and flatter.
Some minimiser bras use a combination of both compression and tissue redistribution.
A minimiser bra is perfect for fuller busted ladies who want their breasts looking smaller.
