Bras with Straps That Don't Slip or Fall Down
Having trouble with slipping bra straps?
This can be a big problem. You stand or sit still and you're fine, but the minute you move around, a strap starts to slide. You end up spending way too much time fiddling with your bra instead of doing what you'd really like to be doing.
This can happen if you're short and can't get the straps tight enough to stay put. In this case, a bra for women with short torsos can help.
Narrow or sloping shoulders can also cause your bra straps to slide off your shoulders, because the straps are too far apart to stay on your body.
Curvature of the spine can make it even worse, since your back isn't straight and so the straps and band can't hang properly.
Luckily, there are bras that are designed to stop all of that.
One answer is finding bras with straps that are "kicked in" (meaning they are closer together in the back than standard straps) and/or bras with a leotard back. A leotard back is well, like a dance leotard, sort of a deep U-shape. This is also a good option if you have a top or a dress with a scoop neck in the back.
Another option is bras with a racerback. Because the straps meet in the center of your back, they're inset from your shoulders and won't fall off. Since the bras close in front, they're also a good option if you have trouble reaching around your back to hook your bras.
I've listed bras here that can help stop slipping straps, and sorted them by body type so you can easily find the bra that's right for you.
Lily of France Value in Style Smooth Cup Convertible Bra
Want a bit of elegance? This bra is trimmed with lace along the band and has satin straps. There are four loops in the band; pick the inner set and you get a "kicked in" look so the straps will stay up. You can also wear it cross-crossed.
Contoured cups stop the "headlights" and won't show under clingy tops.
A good pick if you're shallow, since it's a demi cup and will push you up (just enough for some cleavage). The center is wide, so it will fit better if you are wide-set.
Sizes 34, 36 A, B, and C; 38 B, C in beige, black, red, white, and pearl.
Maidenform Women's Comfort Devotion Embellished Demi Bra
Soft smooth cups and plenty of color options make this a great everyday bra. It's got a leotard back and little grippers on the straps to help them stay in place.
Since there are lots of colors, you can wear a different color each day and not get bored. It's a demi cup with a plunge shape so it's good for low cut tops. The demi cup also makes it a good choice if you're shallow.
Sizes 32A-DD, 34A-DD, 36A-DD, 38B-D in black/beige, latte/shell, ivory/shell, red/beige, lilac/gray, beet/violet, two-tone gray, latte/ivory, white/pink, and navy dot.
Maidenform 7112 Pure Genius Racerback Bra
This bra features smooth cups (so no show through under form-fitting t-shirts), which are slightly padded to hide "headlights."
Bandless, so it's more comfortable if you have a large stomach, or if you are short.
The racerback is lace, which adds a touch of elegance.
Because it's a racerback, it closes in front, which makes it easy to put on and prevents the straps from falling off your shoulders. Do keep in mind that Maidenform runs small, so you may have to size up.
Comes in white, beige, and gray, beige leopard print, and black in sizes 32C-DD, 34B-DD, 36B-DD, and 40C-DD.
Warner's Cloud 9 Underwire Bra
Super-soft with kicked-in straps to stop slipping. The straps adjust in the front so it's easier to get them the right length.
The back is wide, so it will smooth out unwanted bulges and lumps.
Even if you don't normally like underwire, you may forget your'e wearing this, because it's so comfortable. There's no band, and the center is arched so it's comfortable if you have a large stomach, or if you are short waisted. The center is wide, so it's better if you are wide-set.
Sizes 34, 36, 38 B-DD; 49C and D in white, black, sand, almond, dark gray, lavender, pale pink, ink blue, and bright pink.
Fantasie FL2024 Rebecca Molded Spacer Underwire Bra
Completely streamlined and smooth, with just a hint of lace along the bottom of the band and under the cups and tiny bows on the straps and between the cups.
It's great for summer t-shirts, since it won't show. Plus, the spacer fabric will help keep you cool on hot days.
This particular model is running a bit full in the cups, so you might want to go down a cup size if your breasts are shallow.
The bra has a leotard back, with a deep U shape, and the straps are set close together. All of that means the straps will stay in place!
It's also a good choice if you have a sweater with a low back, or even under an actual leotard.
The cups are shaped, but not thick, so you can fold them into each other for traveling. It's made out of lightweight spacer fabric, so it will keep you relatively comfortable in warmer weather.
White, beige, pink, cranberry, red, pewter, and black, sizes 30D-GG, 32D-H, 34D-H, 36D-GG, 38D-G, 40D-FF (not all sizes in all colors, so check to see if yours is available).
Chantelle 2126 Vous et Moi Convertible Memory Foam Demi Bra
A sleek, smooth bra with extra loops on the band so you can move the straps inward or outward and keep them from falling off your shoulders.
The material is thin and comfortable with memory foam that conforms to your shape (the heat from your body activates the memory foam).
It's still sturdy enough that it won't get squashed if you pack it for travel.
The bra has a wide center panel, so it's best for wide set breasts.
