I have worn minimizers all my life...  I wore the same brand/type for over 20-30 years and then they were discontinued a few yrs ago...  Every minimizer I found since were never the same... and they all had stretchy material for the cup area, which is really stupid... Any minimizers with stretchy cups do NOT minimize!! They just stretch out as far as you do!  I am so happy I finally found these... where the cups are not made out of stretchy material.  These are absolutely the best type of minimizers...  and very comfortable.  Thank you Bali!!
