Lifting Straps
Straps from my bra are never tight enough on my shoulders?! What do I do?
I know it sounds silly, but the reality is this: I lose major support, I’m fairly busty and not all that “perky” so I rely on the support of the strap to lift em up! When I tug on the straps and lift them by hand, it’s like I just had the best boob job EVER!!! I have perfect cleavage and then I let go and gravity takes it’s toll.
So really, the real issue is i have narrow shoulds and I need a bolder holder just to keep them up! What can I do to fix this problem, I’ve even gone as far as to tie my two bra straps at the back together just to get the extra tightness.
Ladies!!!! I need your help with these bra malfunctions!
PS, my cup size is correct, I have been fitted. This isn’t just 1 bra in my closet, this is all of them (which is like 20!!!)
Bra straps are not designed to hold up breasts, so of course yours don’t do a good job of it. 90% of the weight is supposed to be supported by the bra band, and only 10% by the straps. If you want your bras to hold up your chest, you need a much tighter band, as the ones you’re wearing now are clearly too loose.
Watch this bra fitting video, and look how much more lifted the girl’s chest looks when she’s wearing a tighter band; it’s not the bra straps doing that.
