WacoalWomen's Visual Effects Minimizer Bra

Great fit for large breasts
I ordered a 36 H. First bra ever with no spilage!! It fits great. Very comfortable. Good support. Very lightly lined. It's always been difficult to find the perfect bra. I usually have to wear a sports bra or genie bra over my bra to feel like I have enough support. I don't feel like I need to do that with this bra. I will order again. Definitely.

Nice bra, not the best minimizer
So I've been on the hunt for the best minimizer for a few years now. I wear a size 34 DD, but I'm petite and a minimizer puts my bust more in proportion with my body frame. So I've tried 3 different Wacoal bras. My favorite and the most effective at minimizing is the seamless slimline. I've purchased this same bra many times and wanted to switch it up and get one the was sexier looking but still a minimizer so I purchased this one. While it's a nice bra it's effectiveness as a minimizer isn't too great. I will return and stick to my trusted and true seamless slimline

Fabulous Fit in size 42 G
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!

34 H/color Nude
Great fit and comfortable! I naturally have huge breast and finding a bra that will actually minimize, has been hard until this wacoal bra. I often try to hide breast bulging under my clothes and by far, this one works wonders for me. The best I've purchased. My measurements are 34 H cup, 32 W, 44 hip. Wear the bra now today and after 8hours it's still comfortable with so much support. I will be buying the black one next.

This is me as an older granny, even after having breast fed two infants. I bought two colors. I love my Wacoal bra.

Had to kinda give it some time.
My favorite minimizer Wacoal style bra has been discontinued--hard to believe. So, I had to find an alternative and got this style. Fit kinda tight at first. I almost returned. Waited a week and tried again--it fit more like just a new bra. By the end of the day, the bra felt 'broken in'. Or, I just adapted to the new fit. Anyway, the fit looked more like the model in the picture and looks great under t-shirts. Two weeks later, it is one of the best fitting bras I have had since my breast got large. Not as good as the old style, but...

Bring back #85122
This bra was suggested as an alternative to wacoal #85122. This bra is awful and nothing like #85122.The mesh lining rubs your nipples raw and develops holes quickly. The wire does not continue the entire length of the cup resulting in side spillage. It has stretch straps that somehow still dig into your shoulders. It is a flimsy, cheaply made, scratchy material. My quest continues to find an alternative to the discontinued #85122

I’m a 34G and have the worst trouble finding bras as most of us with a big bust do. This fits me very nicely and works as a Tshirt bra. Pretty comfortable, about as comfortable as a supportive bra could be (which is not that comfy). The only thing i dont like is the look. NOT sexy, cute or flattering. Looks much better on the model than me, lol. However it looks very natural under clothing. And it fits, so that’s a blessing and im keeping it.

Did not even try ...
I could see at a glance that the item was made of cheap fabric and so didn't even try it. Returned immediately and still waiting for my refund, a month later.

This is a great bra.
This is the best bra I have ever owned. The cups totally cover my breasts. Nothing is hanging out. It is so comfortable. I also bought the Wacoal Women's Back Appeal Minimizer Underwire Bra. It is also a great bra. What I like about this one is that the band goes higher than most bras. Nothing is bulging. I am going to write the company to suggest they do the same with the Visual Effects Minimizer Underwire Bra. These bras are definitely worth the price.

Underwires are too stiff and rigid
I ordered a 40DD and it fits well except the underwire was way too stiff and hurt after wearing for any length of time. I ended up replacing the underwire from an old bra and now I can it wear all day. The wires I removed have no flexibility and are rigid. The rest if the bra is well made and lovely.
