My all time favorite bra, I've bought some version of Wacoal minimizer for years now. Yes, it's very plain and not very exciting but it gets the job done, and at my chest size, I need a work horse of a bra. Wacoal will not disappoint. They are a bit more expensive than some other brands but they are worth every penny. They're comfortable, they last, they stay in place and look fabulous under clothes. No strange seams or weird points that some of the fancier bras often cause once you get your shirt on. No constant adjusting of the straps like you will find on other brands. I've only bought Wacoal now for years and it would take quite a contender to get me to switch.

This bra appears padded on the model. What I received was a sheer thin material that revealed everything I own. There was no privacy in the bra. The cup is sheer & thin & not at all like the picture. I feel very misled. I returned it. For the price I expect much more than what I got.

My natural size is a 32H and I wear a size 6. I bought a size 8 dress online for a friend's upcoming wedding thinking going up one size would be enough to fit my ridiculous bust. When the zipper wouldn't budge a centimeter past the bottom of my bust-line, I was certain I would have to find a different dress but I liked this one so much that I decided to try a minimizer. I honestly did not hold out hope that it would be enough but this Wacoal Simple Shaping Minimizer absolutely did the trick! I could not find it in a 32H so got a 34G instead which fit really well. The dress went from not even close to zipping over my bust to fitting perfectly. I was simply amazed! Now, I will tell you that to get this result, the bra is not made of the softest, comfiest fabric, it feels similar to support hose, a little scratchy and having my giant boobs mashed down is not really my idea of comfortable -- this is not a bra I would wear to work or running errands all day but for a few hours to wear a favorite dress to an event, this is perfect.

The bra is comfortable and definitely minimizes. I feel neater when I wear a sweater; no bulges.

36C fits like a glove. I love that it isn't padded. I don't need extra boob. Flattering on my side boobs, helps diminish them.

Ordered the Wacoal Perfect Primer as well as this Simple Shaping Minimizer, and have a drawer full of Wacoal bras...the Simple Shaping bra is at least a full size smaller in the band than the stated size. (The Perfect Primer, however, fits the same as other Wacoals I have purchased, so I don't think I was optimistic about sizing). Straps were thin and sharp edged - if the bra does not fit smoothly, the wearer will have sore 'hot spots' by day's end where the straps rub.

This style fits perfectly. I wear a 36g, and I have worn this style for years. It supports and is comfortable. A great buy.

Fits! Minimizes! Allows me to wear "button-up" blouses without the front being pulled apart between buttons.. I wish it came in other colors but I'll take what I can get to solve the problems. No padding is good for me.

Does the best job of all I've tried- A great bra like this one makes you look slimmer and younger. I keep trying to find a prettier bra, even willing to spend more money but they just don't offer the support and great shape that this one does. Wish it were offered in more colors, but for now basic nude and black colors will have to do!

Love! My favorite every day bra eventhough it's not sexy. Keeps me D/DD girls in place and high and comfortable without padding and without poking me, and without spilling out of the cups. Yea!!!

Minimized my chest so much I was asked if I lost weight and could finally close those button up shirts.

I love this bra. The minimizing works well - not all minimizers deliver. It is very comfortable. I have owned a few of these. I wash them carefully and don't put them in the dryer, so they last.

Best bra ever. This bra is so comfortable and my chest looks so much better. I am petite, but my chest is quite large for my frame. It is difficult to find a bra that makes me look good and is also comfortable. This bra not only minimizes, but it seems to lift up the girls too. Yea! I just ordered 2 more!

While I absolutely love the Wacoal sports bras Wacoal misses the mark (for me) on their everyday bras. They are probably ok if you are an A or B cup but for C and above (especially a minimizer) there needs to be more support in the cup and a wider band (side and back). The cups had nooooo support and the band was very narrow with only 2 hooks. We ladies like pretty bras but we NEED functional bras. Especially those of us with larger ta-ta’s.

This bra is great! Blouses always gap on me so I haven't worn them in a long time. I decided to try the minimizer bra and I'm so glad I did. My shirts fit me so much better and no gapping. It also seems to lift me up a little and make me look youthful.

I have used this minimizer for years. I love it. It's comfortable and the shape is good. I highly recommend it. I will try to others, and this is the best one.

I have several of these bras they are the best minimizer I have worn. Rather than squish your breasts in and out so that you look like a linebacker, the bra minimizes the breast in both directions and gives a lovely silhouette. These are the only bras I wear and I have several.
