Bra Straps

Why Must Bra Straps Fall?

You've read up on the proper way to wear a bra. Your bra straps keep falling off your shoulders and driving you nuts. Why must bra straps fall?

Bra straps can be insanely aggravating. If you have strap slippage problems, there are a couple of things you can do. The first is obvious - adjust the straps! Sometimes, you can buy an "ender bra". What is an ender bra? Watch out for ender bras!

What if you've tried adjusting the straps this way and that with no luck? If a lower band size doesn't fit, it may be time to take a look at a different style and brand of bra. The first might be that your bra is worn out. The straps tend to reveal this when elasticity is lost. Don't mistake straps that are worn out for loose ones. Replace your bra when it wears out because a worn out bra does not provide the support you need.

The idea of bra sizes is somewhat of a laughable one. How then are we supposed to find a standard bra?! Once you have it, consider buying strap supports. Sliding bra straps can be a serious pain in the derriere. The answer could give you some insight into whether you are wearing the right bra size or not.

Mastering the Straps on Your Bra

The modern bra is a multifunction device. The cups shape things and the straps provide support similar to something you might see in a hanging plant. Your bra should take the weight of the breast on the band that circles the bottom of brassiere around your body. The straps are intended to be a supplemental support system for the band, not the primary weight bearing element of the bra.

To get a better grasp of this, picture a strapless bra. How does it provide support? The band running around the bottom acts as the entire support mechanism. This is essentially how every bra you have should work. The straps should never provide more than 20 percent of the total support and rarely that much. No deep red marks on your shoulders from the straps. The straps on your bra are adjustable. Obviously! In general, the straps should be loose. Remember, they are a backup support system for the band on the bottom of the bra. As you get used to wearing a bra the correct way, you can then adjust the straps to your preference.

If you've used the straps as the primary support mechanism for your bra, and many have, it is going to feel very strange when your wear the bra with the support from the bottom up.
