A Good Minimizer Bra...
The Cheap, Painless, Instant Way to Look Smaller
Our 'smaller' sisters have tissues, padding, and push-up bras. We have the Minimizer Bra. That's our secret weapon! It's an important part of every big busted woman's wardrobe. Different syles of bras serve different purposes and the purpose of a minimizing bra is exactly what the name implies. It minimizes. Some can minimize up to 2 inches.
What makes a minimizer bra different from any other bra?
A minimizing bra takes the breast tissue and smashes, compresses, and rearranges it to make it look smaller. Kind of like taking a water balloon and flattening it between your palms. A bra minimizer works the same way. It won't actually shrink your bust, the bra simply 'flattens' the breast so it appears less perky.
There are other things you can try for a natural breast reduction.
A minimizing bra will... 'turn your mountains into mole-hills' (at least until you take it off)
So when should you wear a Minimizing bra?
It's always a good idea to have atleast one of this style of bra in your drawer to pull out if you need it. Some women wear a minimizing bra everyday and love it. Others feel they are too restrictive and save them for 'special occasions'. Here's some examples of when a minimizing bra will be helpful.
Note: A minimizer will fit differently than a regular bra. With a regular bra, the cup will sit flat around the whole breast (at least it will if it's the right size.) Click here to

Because the nature of minimizing bra is to compress and flatten the breast you may find that the cups do not touch skin in the middle of your chest.
