Realizing the issue that I have- narrow shoulders
The main problem I have with nearly every bra is the straps slip or otherwise move around. Unlucky as I am, I have very sensitive shoulders from a shoulder injury, so it irritates me quite a bit. I think this happens because I am pretty petite and my shoulders are narrow, so the straps on the bras are too bra apart. It's hard to know this is going to happen in a store because a bra can look great and then start bothering me when I'm actually moving.
Petite bras don't seem to have big enough cup sizes for me. I have managed to find only two bras so far without this problem- Fantasie Esme and the Wacoal Women's Basic Beauty Full Figure Underwire. Unfortunately the Esme's cups weren't right for my shape and the Wacoal's gore digs into me. Both have a v-shaped back, so I'm going to try more bras that have this back.

Maybe those silicone strap cushion pads would help? If you are not sensitive to the material, that could be a life saver, they are not only comfy but they keep the strap from sliding anywhere :)
Some women use the t-back clips to make the straps into racer-back styles. That may help on bras that don't have the back style you need.
