I heard that there is such a thing as a minimizer. Don't exactly know how that works.

I only wear wacoal- they make one without seams that's good for a t-shirt

I also wear wacol, under all of my shirts, tshirts as well as in the winter. the one that I wear does not have a seam in the middle and I am a DDD.

a minimizer merely mis-shapes them ...

I heard wacols are expensive - never even saw one let alone bought one ...

a minimiser just makes them more round, instead of point and makes you look smaller. they are great for t-shirts. wacoal is great.

less round ... more like flat ... now that's an oxymoron ...

I love this bra! It gives you a really nice shape under clothes.

yes they are expensive, but I would assume that any bra in a larger size would be expensive as there is more material than a siz b lets say, but it is a very good bra so its worth it, to my mind.

I only wear Wacoal minimizers now.

I've been wearing minimizer's since 8th grade, brand after brand, and I love the Wacoal. For one thing, it's one of the only ones that doesn't have the 'uniboob' problem.

How about when one is nursing? There are no nursing minimizers and they have no support. This is my first time since I am married (7 years) that I could wear a normal bra as I am not nursing or pregnant. I feel such a difference.

after the first 3 months I wore regular bras when nursing and then lifted them over my boob if I had to.

I used to wear Wacoal, but now I've switched to Natori. Specifically this bra:

This thread reminded me that I desperately need new ones, so I just ordered two.

Re: nursing - and this has nothing to do with being a C or a DDD cup, I just took my old bras and had them converted into nursing bras.

Pre-pregnancy, I loved this one: Seamless Bra

This is from an English website/shop which only caters to D+ sizes, a lifesaver! I'm not sure if they deliver to the States, but they don't generally make their own bras, so I'm sure you could find the same one abroad.

Walcol is good but I second MiamiMommy in saying that this one is the best!

Bali is a great brand for us fuller gals and the link that you provided actually has them at at decent price.

I got 2 just not.

Thanks!
