Minimiser bras - any decent ones out there?

[DollyPartonsBeard]

I have 38G boobs and although they don't look too out of proportion on my 5'10" frame sometimes they just get in the way!

I haven't explored minimiser bras since the 90s, and recall them weirdly squishing everything into my armpits which was neither comfortable nor flattering. I've just had a quick browse online but haven't found anything that looks sturdy enough.

I'm not worried about them being lacy/ 'sexy'/ pretty just supportive while flattening. I've got a Panache sports bra which kind of fits the bill but gives me a curiously Miss Mary of Sweden pointy nipple effect.

Any suggestions please?

M&S do some great ones.

I would be interested to know this also because M&S do not do great ones at all. Far from it, they are of poor quality.

McConkeysPlate i haven't had a huge amount of luck with M&S 'normal' bras and their sizing but I will pop in tomorrow and have a look.

(Also, great username - I had a PE teacher called Mr McConkey many years ago!)

Bunty55 Yes, this has been my experience sadly; I'd come to the conclusion that my boobs are just not the right shape for M&S bras, and tend to stick to Panache and Curvy Kate as a rule.

Interested to see this. I’m a JJ cup and it can be burdensome, so I do get it, but just cannot imagine minimiser bras being comfortable! Usually I’m desperate to get out of my normal bra by evening, even though it fits properly.

I'm wearing one from M&S right now. I've got 3 from there, this is my favourite one and I'm in danger of wearing it out! I think you might need to order a few online and try them on. Some fit better than others!

I only wear Fantasie. Their pretty, lacy side support bras give 'projection' for the Miss Mary crowd. The plainer, 'everyday' ones such as Fusion and Illusion give a more natural shape which doesn't stick out so far.

I love both types, it's great to have the choice depending on what I'm wearing.

MorrisZapp Thanks, I've had Fantasie in the past and liked them, will check them out.

I absolutely love my M&S minimiser bras. It's just a question of getting the right size. They are no more uncomfortable than any bra.

Won't touch their knickers with a bargepole now sadly, they are made of the flimsiest fabric going and last about 5 minutes. Day to day undies come from Tui, Sloggis when I'm feeling flush.

I have found sports bras to be better than minimiser bras. They give support.
