No Slip Bra Straps

Whether your shoulders slope or you are very active, you require “no slip” bra straps that will keep your bra where it belongs all day. Some brands are better than others in making bras that do just that. For special needs, an extra support might be what’s required, but whatever it takes, you can secure that bra with minimal fuss.

The racer back bra is one option for no slip bra straps.

From the 1930s to very recently, if a woman had sloping shoulders, she had no choice but to sew lingerie straps into all her tops and dresses. While lingerie straps are ideal for wider neck tops or thin strap evening dresses, they can be cumbersome for daily use.

Another option has been a bra strap supporter, an extra piece of elastic that can fasten to the back of any bra and sits horizontally on your back between the straps, keeping them in place. It’s said to be easy to take on and off and that once secured, it stays in place and you don’t notice it. Not all women have that experience, however, and are annoyed with the extra step involved in getting dresses and undressed.

As women have found that bras most commonly associated with sporting activities, such as racer back and T-back styles, will always stay in place no matter what, they’ve begun to look for such styles in regular bras. Bra manufacturers have seen the need and increasingly, these sorts of bras are made available, ranging from the plain and functional to the pretty and sexy.

While the above are great, plenty of clothes demand a regular strap-over-each-shoulder bra, and no slip bra straps are a must. No matter what a particular bra’s claim, this becomes strictly individual and most women have to go brand by brand to find a bra that works for them.

As you try on bras, you first have to be sure that the straps are adjusted to the correct length. It can be useful to have a fitter assist you. In fact, you should go to a fitter before you do anything. Professional lingerie sellers are trained to help women with any number of bra problems, not just getting the correct size.

If you go into a decent lingerie shop, they can probably take one look at you and determine what you need before you say you’re looking for no slip bra straps. What you will find is that a few companies make bras with straps set a bit closer in. Stretchiness, in the straps and cup, also appears to be key. Again, you need to try a few bras to see what feels right.

Many women have found that the Vanity Fair Enchanted Lace Underwire bra does the trick when it comes to sloping shoulders. They like the stretchy cup and how smooth the bra is under clothes, although they note that it is more functional, rather than fun.

The Warner’s Friday Bra works for narrow, sloping shoulders. Additionally, you can try the Bali No-Slip Strap Underwire bra; Playtex 18-Hour Cottony Comfort bra; Playtex 18-Hour Gel Comfort Underwire bra or the Playtex Secret Seamless Shaping bra.

One thing all women with strap problems point out is that you simply must wear the right size bra in order to be sure of a good fit all day. The vast majority of women still do not know their exact size. You can try various formulas for sizing yourself, but you will do best by going to a professional fitter. You have to go to a shop where the salespeople really know what they are doing. This may result in a bra that costs more than you were planning to spend, but it will fit properly and last longer, making for a better investment in the end.
