In Search of the Very Best Minimiser Bra in Australia?

Discover Style Gallery’s collection of high-quality minimiser bras that combine function with style.

A minimiser bra does exactly what its name suggests, making your cup size appear smaller. Some women wear minimising bras to detract attention from a large bust, while others love them for the way they can make clothing fit better – no more shirt buttons straining open across your chest!

How do Minimiser Bras Work?

When it comes to finding either a comfortable or a flattering everyday bra minimiser cups might be the last thing on your mind. But actually, these bras flatten your bust in a way that doesn’t hurt and still creates a nice shape under your clothing.

The cups are made from a firm (but comfy!) fabric that provides compression. Think of a tight-fitting bandeau top as a kind of basic strapless minimiser bra. However, good-quality minimisers – like the ones we stock – are designed in such a way that they redistribute your breast tissue towards the side of the body instead of just squashing it down, for added comfort.

Typically, you can expect a 1” or so reduction of your bust circumference, equivalent to dropping one cup size. The best minimising bra designs however can reduce it a little more – especially if your starting cup size is very large. Of course, minimizing bras don’t actually make your breasts smaller, so the minimisation itself is not a solution for back or shoulder pain caused by a heavy bust. But they are very much designed with comfort in mind, and you’ll love the feel of the wide, weight-distributing straps and the supportive band.

What Size Minimiser Bra Do I Need?

Remember that when shopping for these bras minimizer cups don’t need to be any smaller than those on your regular bras. If they’re too small, they’ll just cut in and create unflattering bumps! The cups need to be large enough to fully contain your breast tissue in order to compress it. It can be tricky to buy a minimiser bra online for the first time, but here’s our simple advice to getting a good fit: buy your usual band and cup size. Minimiser bras are already designed to provide breast reduction, so there’s no need to buy a smaller cup size (and doing so may cause discomfort).
