Wacoal Women's Visual Effects Wire Free Minimizer Bra

This bra is a perfect no wire support bra. I purchased it several years ago after surgery. The doctor thought it was perfect, and asked for the make and style to refer patients. It's comfortable to sleep in for continous support post surgery and any time.

I've never considered myself as needing a minimizer bra - I've always been a bit chesty but nothing that seemed to need an extra heavy-duty containment field. However, I was trying on a bunch of bra's at Macy's and grabbed this not realizing it was a "minimizer" and really liked the fit (Wacoal is always a great fit for chesty gals, most of the Euro bras are) and the nice, height appropriate and balanced look of "the gals" with this under a shirt. So, I bought this first at Macy's and was happy to find it here on Amazon as well.I think that I expected a minimizer bra to smash everything into a flat and unflattering look the way sports bras do (I really, really hate those - ugly and uncomfortable!). I don't feel that it's caused a significant look of a smaller bosom, just a better placed (up and down and side to side both) and nicely balanced bosom. It's hard to explain but it's aesthetically pleasing, and very comfortable. I highly recommend you give it a go. It was true to size for me.

I was very hesitant, as a large busted woman to order a bra I couldn't first see in person but I read the reviews and took a chance. So glad I did! I am a 36DD for reference, and I have a hard time finding support without underwire. This bra does just that! It keeps the ladies separated, not causing a uni-boob, keeps them up where they should be and doesn't cause spillage over the top! My ONLY complaint is the fabric. It is very scratchy. Nothing I can't live with, but I wish it was softer. I will definitely be ordering more colors once they become available in my size!

Band and shoulder straps were too narrow for 38 DD. Cup size 1-2 sizes smaller than advertised.

It is very soft and comfortable to wear, just wish the cups had a little more padding.

This is a nice fitting, somewhat comfortable bra. However, I think the quality of materials has gone down since I've ordered a Wachol product. The band feels somewhat scratchy in the back where the hooks meet. It seems like a cheap plastic containing fabric. I'm disappointed with the quality after spending a premium price.

I've tried about 15 wireless bras looking for one that doesn't dig into my ribs like my wired bras do, AND supports my 34DD breasts. Was really hoping one of the under $15 wireless bras would do the trick, and although I found some that are very comfortable and have decent coverage, none gave me the lift of a wired bra like this Wacoal one does. it 's constructed so that it has the uplift that wires give, but they somehow manage to do it with fabric.BTW, I also ordered it in a 34DDD, and noticed that with DDD the straps are wider and the back has 3 hooks instead of 2. That size fit OK but had a little gap at the top of the cup section.If you are a "woman of a certain age" who is now valuing comfort over the perky breasts that an underwire provides give this bra a try.

This is the most comfortable bra I have ever owned. It fits perfectly to form. I barely know it's there. How much $ have I spent on bras. Found it. This is the one. I will definitely buy more.

This is the best wire free bra I have ever purchased! The fact that it's also a minimizer is an extra bonus! I am a 36DD and the bra fit perfectly right out of the package. It is so comfortable and light that I forget I'm wearing it. No pinching, bulging, or uni-boob! The only con is that the band underneath will roll. Obviously you won't get the lift and separation of an underwire, but I'm thrilled to say that this is the first wireless bra that holds the girls in place so they don't both migrate to the middle!
