Bra strap sliPiping off

Why? Been fitted twice at JL and tried different styles but strap just slips down off my shoulder, usually the right one. I have the strap as tight as it can be but makes no difference. Is it just a posture problem? Is driving me mad!

I have had the same problem for as long as I have worn a bra, in every brand/fit I've tried. It drives me mad too. Freya do a bra that you can adjust to make it a racer back - that might help but I found it gave me loads of cleavage.

Yes think racer back may be an answer. Maybe the bras I have are just too big?

can you still get those little silicone widgets to go over the strap?
I have no clue what they're called but I didn't just dream them, honestly Grin

One of the most common symptoms of wearing a bra with too big a band is straps slipping off your shoulders. Have you measured following this guide?

Actually thinking that the straps area use too long which suggests the bra is not the right size. Seems ok around the back and cup though.

Have you tried the bra on back to front to test the band? What size is the bra and what is your under bust measurement?

Some bras have straps that are completely adjustable, but many only have a small section that you can adjust. Try looking for one that's adjustable all the way, where there isn't a section that's made of fabric.

I have this problem. It's because I'm short and therefore the distance between my shoulders and boobs smaller than most people. Grin

Will check measurements and report back. The straps are adjustable and are all the way up but still slip.
