Racerback bra recommendations?

This is a very specific request that is probably going to go nowhere.

I have carpal tunnel which starts up in my shoulders (lucky me). I've noticed that the tighter the bra strap, the worse the pain is later that day. I've recently had to give up my Cleos, because their straps are so darn short that they cause the worst pain. Even with the straps let all the way out, they're crazy tight.

I'd like to give a racerback style bra a try and see if that decreases the pain any, since the strap sits in a different place. I've always hated racerbacks, mostly because I never found one that fits me, so I gave up on them years ago. So now maybe somebody makes something that doesn't suck? Does anyone have any recommendations for a racerback in the 30E-32DD range?

Clipping the straps in the back of normal bras never worked for me, it just makes the cups gape.

  • Are you looking for bras designed to be converted to racerback (like the Freya Deco Delight Moulded Multiway Bra (1561)) or something more like this: http://www.amazon.com/Finejo-Womens-Front-Closure-Racerback/dp/B00JAAKE3Y/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1405027245&sr=8-3&keywords=racerback+bra ? The former can definitely be found in your size range, the latter might be a bit tougher.

  • There's the Esotiq Amira which comes in both of those sizes (not sure if Esotiq actually ships worldwide but if you could find someone who will send it for you from Poland or the EU or wherever they do ship from that might make things easier).

    Most of these only come in 32DD, so make of them what you will, there is the Chantelle Rive Gauche Spacer Foam Racerback, the Josie Jet Set T back Bra, the Wacoal 65124 T back, the Kensie Hayden Ruffle Racerback, and the DKNY Signature Lace T back.
