To those with bra strap slippage issues

christina-marie · April 2010

I posted a couple of weeks ago about my bra problems. No matter what kind, what price point, no matter what! My bra straps have always slid down toward my elbows. I'd been measured in 3 different stores, bought the entire breadth of bras in various sizes.

Someone on here posted that when that happens, it's usually a problem with your width (32, 34 etc) being too large and your cup size being too small. So, I figured, what do I have to lose?

So instead of my typical 36 or 38, I bit the bullet and bought 2 bras on clearance in a 34. Instead of my "typical" C I got one in a D. A roomy D.

Wouldn't you know it? I've gone a week with zero slippage issues! Zero! Now, the bra does seem tighter than normal, I'm not going to lie. But not so uncomfortable that I'm crawling out of my skin. And it doesn't cause that gross old lady back flub that we're all scared of. There was a little pink line and I itched for a minute or two after I took it off but it's so much better than constantly adjusting the position of my bra a million times a day.
