One of the biggest hassles with strapless bras is they keep on slipping, making it difficult to run, dance, or even move in them. They can be uncomfortable but a much-needed piece of lingerie to pair with halter neck, off-shoulder, cold shoulder, and strapless dresses and tops.

If a bra keeps falling off, it means it might not be the right fit. Here is a guide for you to check out before purchasing a strapless bra that will amp up the fit of your outfit.

Right Cup Size

This tip is the most essential one for any kind of bra that exists on this earth. Without the right cup size, you cannot expect a great fit. It will keep falling off, making it difficult for you to avoid a wardrobe malfunction.

If the cup size is small, your breasts and sides will spill over. The outfit will showcase bulges that might ruin the look. If the cups are large, the bra will keep falling off. It will not stay in place, and instead of enjoying the moment, you will be busy pulling it up all the time. Here is how to measure the size of a bra.

Right Band Size

If you pick a strapless bra with a loose band, it will most likely slip. If you have smaller breasts, it is better to pick a bra with a band one size smaller than you need. It might be a little uncomfortable, but it will stay in place.

Such a bra will support your breasts better as well. However, it must not be too tight that you have spillover. You definitely do not want to spoil the gorgeous look of the outfit you spent hours searching for.

If your chest is heavy, you must always pick a strapless bra with a wider band. Large breasts need all the support they can get and need lingerie that would not slip off under their weight.

Comfortable Boning

Boning is extra wiring on the sides of a bra to maintain its structure from crumbling. It keeps the bra in an upright position and prevents its fabric from squeezing. However, some women might feel discomfort due to it.

Therefore, you must pick a bra that has a comfortable boning. Not only will it keep the bra in position but also help you bid farewell to any sort of discomfort.

No Slip-Grip

The primary object of a strapless bra is to support our breast without straps pulling it up. It must not head down south no matter what we do. Therefore, while picking a strapless bra, you must always pick one with a silicone elastic material added around the band, back and sides of the cups.

Pro Tip: A Convertible Bra Is Not For Everyone

While it seems like a more doable choice to invest in a convertible bra (whose straps could be removed to convert it into a strapless one). It just might not work for everyone. A bra that already comes with straps will hardly fit the checklist of a strapless bra, making it one of the worst choices for prolonged wearing. It will not be a one-pick-fits-every-need kind of purchase.
