1. Adjust the Straps and Band Properly
For most of the problems above, the bra is probably not adjusted properly. The straps should be snug against your skin, and the band should be level all the way around you. You should still be able to insert one finger underneath the straps. This positioning secures the straps in place.
2. Get the Right Bra Style
If you have broad, squared shoulders, finding a bra with wide-set straps will be a great option for you. This allows the straps to sit comfortably in the center of your shoulders, where your shoulders naturally create a slight curve. For women with narrow shoulders, avoid bras that are specifically designed with wide-set straps, because these will easily slip down and show through your clothing. Instead, look for bras with standard straps.
3. Get Bras with Sturdy Straps
Typically, padded straps are designed for women with larger breasts, because they provide additional comfort and can alleviate some of the pressure on your shoulders. Padded straps have the added benefit of reducing slippage.
4. Consider Quick Strap Solutions
A bra clip, also called j-hook, transforms your back straps into crossed-back straps. Similar in function, an elastic strap holder is an additional horizontal strap at the back that pulls your original straps inward, preventing slippage.
These are two bra accessories you could get for a quick solution to your strap problems. If both feel uncomfortable at the back, a silicone cushion holder could be placed beneath the straps on your shoulders to make them stay in place.
