Narrow Band

The strapless bra doesn't have the straps which provide support to keep it up. All supports come from the band of the strapless bra. Any doubt? No way.

Size the first thing you have to ensure that you choose a bra which band is one size smaller than your band size. Yes, this is an effective role for a strapless bra. At the same time, if you choose a size smaller cup, it would be the best fit for you. For example, if you regularly wear 38C, then you should select the size 36B when you are buying a strapless model. Otherwise, the bra doesn't fit you properly, that it won't fall down. Remember it.

Consider The Loosest Hook While Buying

Usually, all strapless bras contain one more row of the hook. The question might fall you on a trap which row you consider for the perfect fit at the time of buying the bra. Always choose the loosest hook as you will be able to tighten if the bra stretches out. If you choose the middle or inner hook, you will not be able to tighten the bra later.

Look For Silicone Lining Or Adhesive Grips

Silicone lining and adhesive grip both work better for keeping the bra up. The grips often found inside the edges of the bra band and cups. The grip provides more support and helps to keep it up. If you have silicone sensitive skin, you should use double-sided sticky fashion tape. After wearing the bra, just press firmly around the cups as the sticky tape holds your skin.

Invest In Quality

Does the quality of all strapless brass all the same? No, not at all. The quality varies item to item. We recommend you invest in a good quality bra that is made of quality fabric materials and made in a proper way. You may also look for the underwire cup, which provides enough support. At the same time, you also shouldn't choose the bra cup that is made of heavy material.

Avoid moisturizer

You may have the habit of using a moisturizer (Cream, lotion) for your skincare. You should not apply the moisturizer before wearing the strapless bra. The moisturizer lubricates your skin and helps falling down. If you need to use it in any way, you can apply the lotion or cream after wearing the bra.

Choose Thick Band

The narrow band is less supportive, but a wide band provides great support. If the bra doesn't get proper support, it will not be able to stay up. And you should know the band is the only part from where the ultimate support has come! That is why you should choose the bra that has wide band and provides great support.

Use Pin

Safety pic can be a simple way of keeping your strapless bra up. But you have to use the pin as it lies inside the cup. Use the pin to secure the upper border of the cup with the cloth. One pin is enough for each cup. Use the pic that is safe, and don't pinch you no way.

Some Other Important Things

Somebody may advise you to use removable straps. Of course, you can use this if you like. They are really highly effective. But many users don't like to add straps in the strapless model. But if you prefer, you definitely can use it.

You can also choose a long-line or corset option. The items stay in place. But it depends on your preference. If you like, the items can also be an excellent solution for you.
