female only Strap Perfect

[Angelyco 0]

Hey all!

I have been trying out this new thing called the "Strap Perfect" for a few weeks. I bought it at Walgreens for I think $15 for a pack of six (CVS sells them too). The funny thing is that it advertises that it's for shirts that you need a racer-back bra for and to enhance your bust up to another cup size, neither of which is why I got it. I bought it because my shoulders are too round to hold up my bra straps--I think this may be a common issue for us plus size gals, so I wanted to share this.

It takes a little while to get used to (which is why I waited so long to post about it), and the straps are a little tighter on top of my shoulders, but it sure beats having to pull my straps up all day. One of the bad things about big girls using it is that if I want the little plastic piece down lower on my back so the straps are further apart on my shoulders, I have to get DH to do it for me. For this, the box suggests putting the bra on backwards near your waist, putting the clip on, then turning the bra around and putting your arms through the straps--and this does NOT work for anyone whose waist is bigger than their bra :thumbup: Very minor problem though, compared to what I really use this for.

I'm not trying to sell these or anything, I just thought some of you may be interested if you have the same problem with bra straps that I do!

Angelico - I bought these too, but haven't had any success. I tried to put on over my shoulders by myself but no go. Then tried the turning the bra around bit and that didn't work either. I had help to put it on and WHOA - I think "the girls" are too big - They were up around my chin. Maybe I'll try it once more, since you have had success....my thought for this was to use it on a bathing suit as it is really pitiful the support you get from swimsuits - and how droopy "the girls" can be.

I will have to check these out. I have rigged my straps with other things to keep them from falling off my shoulder all of the time. Thanks for the info!

I've always put my bra on like that, lol.

I've got two sports bras that have a little clip on the strap to convert them to racer back and I alwasy were them that way because they give much firmer support when I'm running. But they make me flat as an ironing board :-(.

Dont worry, as you lose, bras fit. I always thought I was round shouldered too and bras used to drive me nuts creepin up my back. I was wearing too small a cup, too big a back size, and I fixed that probably after I'd lost only a small amount of weight. But now straps never all off my shoulders, the back stays nice and low and I dont need four hooks!

I can't wait for that day, Jachut!

Yep, I had this same problem. I could never wear regular bras, because the straps would almost immediately fall down. I had to wear these big strapped sport bras. They were ugly, but the only thing that held me together. As I lost weight and my shoulders became more bony and less soft, any bra pretty much fits nicely now. The strap may fall down once during the day, but that is better than ten million times a minute like it was doing. I never did find a solution when I was heavy to my bra problem : / Maybe this is working for some people?
