Elomi Racerback option on bras
I'm talking about the Elomi bras that have the J-hook converter for a racerback strap option. Like Elomi Matilda or Charley. Today I tried on 2 bras, Elomi Charley in 32JJ and 34JJ. The 34JJ was just slightly big in cup and I wear the band on tightest setting. So 32JJ it is. But with the 32JJ I cannot do up the Racerback option as I'd end up with quadboob.
For me to be able to do up the J-hook I need to make the straps the longest possible only then I can do it without hurting myself. Even then I feel some pressure from the tight straps on my neck.
Usually I wear me Elomi bras the regular way but since I had a larger size here I wanted to experiment with the racerback. I think it's not for me. I have been wearing it like 15 mins but cannot get over the feeling of pull on my neck and shoulders
What is your experience with it? Do you like this feature?

I love a good racer back or J Hook. My frame is pretty narrow so the J Hook is often an answered prayer. You will have to make the straps as long as possible to use the J Hook, that’s pretty normal I think. When the hook is hooked they have to be way longer to reach because they are no longer going in a straight line. If you haven’t tried sliding the J Hook down towards the band in back, I’d give that a try before giving up on the J hook altogether. Sometimes you have to mess with the placement until you get just the right spot. But of course, it’s totally possible that J Hooks are just not for you.... I know balconettes are not for me.
I can’t do racer back. The straps cut into my shoulders and give me headaches from the strain.
