straps, ...ugh...

bra shoulder straps are either:
*don't get short enough (like on those kind of straps that are half fabric and half elastic)
or
*don't get long enough....

they also are never wide enough and i end up having to you those silicone shoulder "pads".
my bands are snug, so it's not like i have too loose a band and my straps have to over compensate or anything.
anyone else have this problem?
i do have broad shoulders... and all my bras have elastic shoulder straps because bra designers hate me, lol ;)

  • YMMV, but I find that molded/padded cups which are too shallow at the base (looking at you, Mimi!) cause pressure on the straps as one's boobs push the cups down whilst looking for projection.

  • acee i had to google what YMMV means, haha! ...and cup projection is not the problem with me, wires are in my IMF on my larger breast. :)
    it doesn't seem to matter if i wear wire or wire-free bras. so i don't think it's my boobs. i thinks it's manufactures not making the straps long or short enough. ugh... on one bra, the straps only got 7" long!!! i had to cut them and add more strap, it's ridiculous.
