This ThirdLove minimizer is the best bra I've ever owned (seriously, it's so supportive) — and it's currently on sale
Shoppers say it's "perfection for the laDDDies!"
If you're a woman, you know how tough it can be to find the right bra. For years, I searched high and low for something supportive that didn't cause spillage, tightness or just plain discomfort.
I've never been into push-up bras or anything overly structured. I prefer unlined or wireless options — something comfortable that still makes my clothes look good. Easier said than done. I've tried everything from Victoria's Secret to Lululemon sports bras.
When it came to wearing T-shirts, sweatshirts and button-ups, I realized I needed a minimizer to get the look I wanted. I'll admit, I never thought I'd be the kind of person to buy a minimizer (some call them "grandma bras"), but it turned out to be exactly what I needed.
I can't stand when bras create that "tent" effect — lifting the fabric and hiding any shape. Minimizers help clothes drape naturally, giving a more flattering look.
After some research, I found the Unlined Minimizer Bra from ThirdLove. It promises to reduce up to two inches and has rave reviews, so I gave it a shot. And honestly? Game-changer. Plus, they're offering 30 per cent off sitewide with the code SAVE30 — I'm seriously considering buying another.

24/7 Classic Unlined Minimizer Bra review: Details, pros and cons
This bra offers smooth support, with a soft and breathable material. It's comfortable to wear all day and, yes, reduces your bust by up to two inches! It features unlined compression cups, and there's no padding — just comfy shaping.
The flexible, poke-free underwire will support your breasts without uncomfortably digging in. Plus, the no-show double-layer back will help provide a sleek, smooth look under clothes. And since it has a tag-less label, you won't have to deal with irritation.
If you want versatility, you can wear it two ways — the adjustable straps convert to an X-back for different clothing options.

What I like about it
Of course, my favourite part about this bra is its minimizing effect. It makes shirts, dresses and sweaters look so much better, in my opinion. Not only that, but it's also comfortable to wear for long periods of time and doesn't irritate me at all. It fits like a glove, and there's no spillage, either. It's very supportive, soft and breathable.
Since there is no padding, it's not bulky at all. It has an underwire, but it's very flexible and doesn't poke through, which is an absolute must. Lastly, the back is very flattering — it doesn't squeeze, instead, I find it smoothes things out.
What needs improvement
Honestly, my biggest gripe with this product is the fact that it's not so cute. It looks like a very mature bra, which is something to keep in mind. I will say, this really isn't a deal breaker for me, as I'm not wearing it to show it off to the world.
I'd say this product could use improvement in the straps — since they're on the thicker side, they tend to peak through in certain tops.

What other reviewers are saying
I'm not the only one who loves this bra, in fact, more than 1,300 people gave it a five-star rating. One person dubbed it the "best minimizer out there," stating they've "tried every minimizer bra." "It [...] allows me to wear some shirts that I otherwise couldn’t button," they continued.
"This bra helped to tone down the size," shared another person, adding, "I just feel so much more confident in my clothes."
Another shopper said there are "no shoulder indents" after wearing this bra. "Tried one and the next day bought another one!" they exclaimed.
"I am obsessed with this bra," wrote another reviewer. They called it a "literal game changer" — but they warned, "Because it's unlined, just be aware of potential nipping."
Keep in mind that it "takes away cleavage" and is "a little stiff at first," but it eventually "moulds to your body."
Should you buy one?
If you have a larger chest that disrupts how you envisioned your clothing to look on your body, I totally suggest this bra — as shoppers have stated, this bra is "perfection for the laDDDies." When wearing high-neck tops like sweaters, button-ups and tanks, I prefer a more minimized look, and I can honestly say this bra helps me achieve that. If you're looking for something to do that for you, the Unlined Minimizer Bra from ThirdLove is where it's at.
However, if you still want cleavage, this won't give you that. On the other hand, if you want something with a thicker, lined design, I'd say look elsewhere.
