Do halterneck tops hurt/irritate you after a while?

I find that I love the look of them but after some time I become very aware of the 'pull' on my neck! Looser ones are fine,I have a black one I go out in with which has a well-elasticated neck, that one's fine but most of them give me neck ache after not long.

In my experience they do. I wore one for a friends hen. By the end of the night the back of my neck was cut and surrounding skin was massively irritated. I was a b cup. I have avoided halterneck since.

Yeah they give me a headache

Yes they irritate me too, even bikini tops that are halter neck are a no.

I’m supposed to wear an apron at work but after the first day I had to fold it down and wear it only round my waist as I was ready to rip my own head off from having it round my neck all day. TBH I’m similar with hoodies too…

Same here. I can't wear them or muscle back bras. They make my neck and head ache. I love an apron though. Not sure why it's different.
