No matter what you call them, from chest-trappers to lady-bits-supporters, this tiny piece of fabric is an important part of any wardrobe. But even though you’ve had a lot of good and awesome days, you still can’t wait to get out of your bra every night. They are just so damned painful. Especially the ones with the underwire.
But, ladies, that will no longer happen! With the tips we’re about to give you, putting on your bra will feel like putting on a second skin. Here are 10 ways to make your bra really comfortable:
Stock Up on Wider Strapped Bras
You might like thinner straps because they are easier to hide under most clothes, but if you want comfort, go for wider straps. Wider straps can support your breasts better, which makes you feel much more comfortable. In fact, if you have a lot of breasts, you should always wear bra straps that are wider.
Reduce the Repeat Frequency
You probably want to wear your favorite bra every other day, but you have to stop. See, bras are just as fragile as they look, and they can wear out quickly. Especially if they are worn and washed a lot. And bras that are worn out can be very painful to wear. So make sure to buy more bras and repeat less.
Use Strap Cushions
When bra straps dig in, it really hurts! You can avoid this shoulder pain, though, by using strap cushions. These are easy to find online and pretty simple to use as well. You just put them under your bra straps and you’re done. Goodbye shoulder pains caused by your bra.
Create your own racerback bra
This in no way means you’ll have to sew a whole bra by yourself. But you can make your regular t-shirt bra into a racerback bra with a little DIY. Just use a paperclip to connect the straps in the back, and you’re done. But if you’re not sure how to use a paperclip, you can always buy clips that are already made.
Wear your bra correctly
Most of us find it so uncomfortable to wear a bra because we don’t do it the right way. The right way to put it on is to lean forward a little and put your breasts in the cup while slipping your hands through the straps. Then stand up straight and hook the bra on the clasp that is the most loose. This will make sure it fits well and doesn’t leak, and the straps won’t hurt your skin.
Going Strapless? Ditch The Moisturizer
This is probably one of the most interesting tricks we have for you. Strapless bras are hard to get on and off because they keep slipping down. The sliding could be caused by the routine of putting lotion on after a shower. If you get rid of it, your bra won’t slide down as much.
There is one more thing you can do to keep your strapless bra in place. Take one of your straps and hook one end to the back of your bra. Bring the other end forward and wrap it around your bra, under the cups, like a belt. Now, tie the end that was loose to the other side. This will keep you from having to change your bra every 2 seconds in an awkward way.
Hide those annoying straps once and for all
When someone tells you to tuck your strap in, isn’t it embarrassing? Now it’s time to stop doing that. By sewing a strap holder under the shoulder area of your clothes, you can keep your bra straps from showing. If that seems like too much trouble, you can even do the job with double-sided tape.
Convert a regular bra into a low back bra
Want to wear a dress with a low back, but the right bra costs too much? No problemo! With the help of a strap converter, you can turn your regular bra into one with a low back. It’s cheap, works well, and is totally awesome!
Get Bra Extenders
We all know about the fight between getting the right cup size and band size. But if you get lucky and find a bra with the right cup size, but the band is too tight, you should buy bra extenders. These add more hooks to your bra so that it fits better.
Go Full Coverage
Even though demi cups are sensual, they have a problem in that they leak and show too much! If you’d rather keep your assets hidden, choose a bra that covers everything. Trust us, these are the most comfortable because they give you the most support.
If you use these ten tricks, you won’t have to worry about common bra problems for long. If you know any other cool tricks, be sure to tell us about them.
