How to Prevent Bra Straps From Slipping Off Your Shoulders

Hey girl! Hate dealing with the frustration of bra straps constantly slipping off your shoulders? Because SAME it can be sooo annoying! That’s why I’ve gathered some tips to help you keep those bra straps in place, along with why Apricotton bras might be the solution to your problems 😉

reasons why your straps are falling:

1. Incorrect Bra Size: If your bra straps are too loose or too tight, they may not sit properly on your shoulders, leading to slipping.
2. Stretching Over Time: Elasticity in bra straps can diminish with wear and washing, causing them to stretch out and slip more easily. Many bras that aren’t made from high quality materials and fabrics tend to wear out quickly!
3. Physical Activity: High levels of physical activity or movement combined with poorly designed bras can cause bra straps to shift and slide more easily. Your bra straps should never be tight enough to leave marks, but you also shouldn’t have to keep pulling them up throughout the day!

our top 3 tips for keeping your bra straps in place:

1. Choose the Right Size: The foundation of a well-fitting bra is getting the right size! Ill-fitting bras are more likely to have straps that slip, especially if they’re not adjustable and are too loose on your shoulders. At Apricotton, we emphasize finding your perfect fit through our simple size guide, and you only need to know your underbust measurement to know your bra size! We’ve also designed our bras to grow WITH you, and all of our bras have adjustable straps that you can shorten or even criss-cross.
2. Explore Different Styles: Different bra styles can affect how straps sit on your shoulders. Apricotton offers a variety of styles, including bras with convertible and racerback options. These styles distribute weight differently, providing additional support and minimizing strap movement. Plus, you’ll be prepared for any outfit with our unique selection of bra styles.
3. Choose Quality Bras: Apricotton bras are designed to fit all your needs, and we paid attention to the smallest details! From moisture-wicking fabrics, removable padding, and adjustable straps and bands, our bras guarantee a secure fit and comfort that lasts through the day. There’s nothing worse than a bra that leaves red marks in your skin! Because we understand the struggle of ill-fitting bras, we designed ours with your comfort in mind 😊
