How can I get my bra straps to stop slipping?
You either need to tighten your straps and stop slouching or get a bra that is less prone to shoulder slipping. Consider getting a sports bra or a cotton bra with wider straps. Macy’s has some good selections on bras that won’t slip as easily. Here’s are my top five picks for bras that won’t slip:
Playtex Bra, 18 Hour Original Comfort Strap
This bra is really good because it has wider bra straps, but also the curved strap shape discourages slipping.
This bra is the least likely to fall off your shoulders, while still offering good support.
Le Mystere Bra, Signature Comfort Full Coverage Y Back
The Y-back or racer back bras will never slip. They’re a bit more of a sporty style, but they’re especially good if you need extra support.
The Y-back bras also have the benefit of holding their place on your shoulder really well, but on some body types it can pinch the skin. Always try on a bra to make sure that it is comfortable to wear. If you slouch, the Y-back is a great option.
Barely There Bra, The Bandini CustomFlex Fit
Sports bras are generally the easy answer to avoiding shoulder slips, but not all sports bras are the answer. A flexible one with a good amount of cotton, polyester, and spandex blend will really give you a comfortable level of support, while also not letting your shoulders slip.
If you need thinner straps, the Barely There Bra collection has some really nice affordable selections.
Vanity Fair Bralette, Illumination
If you need support for a low-cut V-neck top, Vanity Fair has some really nice soft cotton bras that are super inexpensive, but still a really nice quality.
This style of bra has wider straps, but you’ll be able to plunge your neckline, while still ensuring that your shoulder straps don’t plunge with gravity as well.
Lilyette Bra – Plunge Into Comfort Keyhole Minimizer
The keyhole minimizer bra is a good choice if you need a plunging neckline with adjustable straps. The nylon and spandex is a much smoother fit and will be less likely to slip due to the stretchy nature of the cloth.

I reckon you will love your Genie Bra before you are through with it. By its own nature, these are new circumstances, although they are still hard. That is a low budget substitute for Genie Bra. I’ve gone over that previously. I did that with almost no effort. How do their scholars chalk up reasonable Genie Bra guides? Fox News wrote about that tonight referring to Genie Bra. This was the largest Genie Bra ever recorded.
I have a Chantelle bra that does exactly what you want–the straps can be moved in a little toward the center of the back, it’s non-itchy, and has minimal coverage. I think, but am not sure, that this is it. I definitely got it at Nordstrom but the description online is too vague to be sure if it’s this model. I’m sure the Nordstrom ladies would know. It is a convertible bra but I really only ever wear it the way you’re talking about, and for the same reason.
It’s a physics thing. If the bra is manufactured for an average build (and while your bra size may be average, being petite with sloped shoulders is not the shape bras are designed for), you will have slippage. Clips are your best bet and that 30 seconds will prevent you from wasting more time and frustration adjusting straps. If you get a bra custom made, you should be able to work with them to get the straps positioned more usefully for your physique. That said, bra makers are coming out with new innovations all the time, so I’m hoping my cynical perspective is made irrelevant at some point soon.
I have this same exact problem. (I think explosion is completely off the mark — please go wear a bra for 12 years and come back to this thread). I think some people just have sloping shoulders not conducive to bra straps. It sucks in the winter when you have so many layers of clothing on and underneath it all, the strap slips. The only bras I’ve been able to find that work are those “convertible” bras where you can configure the straps in all different ways. I usually use the “cross in the back” configuration which seems to help the straps stay up. Once you clip the straps in place, you don’t usually have to move them again every time you wear them(although they sometimes come out in the wash). However, these bras are not pretty, but they can be light weight.
