Do you have a bra that makes you wonder “why do my bra straps keep falling down?” every time you wear it? This can be increasingly uncomfortable especially if you have to keep pulling them up to prevent a nipple slip from happening. Well, the simple answer is your bra is not the right size.
Why Does My Bra Strap Fall Off My Shoulder?
This could be a result of narrow shoulders or short shoulders which would not be an issue if your bra was the right size. Confirm whether the bra cup size is too large as this may cause the straps to fall off the shoulders. Then confirm if the straps are too long or if the band is too large as this may also lead to slipping bra straps.
How To Keep Bra Straps Up
- Use a strap clip to keep the straps in place by creating a butterfly pattern at the back.
- Use a safety pin to attach the strap to your dress or t-shirt to prevent them from falling off your shoulders.
- Adjust the length of the straps if they are adjustable
- Use fashion tape to stick the bra straps to your skin and prevent them from falling off
- Buy bra strap cushion to prevent the straps from falling off your shoulders
- Move from the current hook closure row you close your bra on to an inward row to reduce the space between the straps and make them stay in place.
- Replace the strap with new straps that are more supportive than the current straps

If you have been wearing the same bra for over a year, it may be time to retire it. This could be the actual cause of the slipping straps. Old bras lose their hold and elasticity over time.
