FAQs
What does a minimiser bra do?
A minimiser bra is designed to redistribute breast tissue to make the bust appear smaller, typically reducing its projected appearance by up to one cup size. This creates a smoother, more streamlined silhouette under clothing.
Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the Berlei Beauty Stripe Minimiser Bra is designed for everyday wear, featuring padded straps and soft lining for comfort. However, specific care instructions must be followed to maintain its condition.
Can I wear this bra under tight-fitting clothes?
Absolutely. The smooth, non-padded cups are designed to be invisible under clothing, making it an excellent choice for fitted tops and dresses.
What is the material composition?
The material composition is 62% Polyamide, 20% Elastane, and 18% Polyester, exclusive of trims.
How should I wash this bra?
It is recommended to hand wash the bra with a mild detergent in cool water. Avoid bleach and do not tumble dry.
What happens if I put it in the tumble dryer?
Tumble drying can damage the straps and rings due to the heat, potentially causing them to break. It is crucial to avoid tumble drying and opt for air drying instead.
Does this bra have padding?
No, this bra features smooth, non-padded cups that offer high coverage. The minimizing effect comes from the design and construction, not from added padding.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging in
Adjust the bra straps to a comfortable, secure fit. Ensure the band is sitting correctly on your ribcage.
Bra not minimizing effectively
Ensure you have selected the correct cup and band size. The minimizer function works best when the bra fits snugly and the cups fully encompass the breast.
Underwire discomfort
Check that the underwire channels are sitting correctly in the bra cups and are not twisted. Ensure the band size is correct, as an incorrect band size can cause the underwire to shift.
Fabric care damage (e.g., melted straps)
Always follow the 'Do not tumble dry' instruction. Hand wash in cool water and air dry flat.
