20 Best Bra For Bra Strap Syndrome (2023 Updated)

I am so picky with how bras feel and am so dissatisfied most of the time. I wanted to get away from underwire because I’m 42 and want comfort darn it. So I explore a lot and this one doesn’t ride up my back as much.

So I don’t have to pull it down in the back hardly at all. There is some ribbing to keep its shape the only slightly bugs me, but not enough to disway me because it definitely is worth not having to pull it down in the back 50 times a day.

It also lifts up my big girls pretty well so I’m really impressed for a no-underwire bra. The cups are comfortable, it looks nice, and there is a nice shape. I wish it were padded for the nips but I just put my own padding cups in there for that.

Overall it’s not perfect but I’m going to be buying more and this will now be the style I wear every day because no adjusting all day long and it lifts and feels really snug and secure and all of that is soooo worth it for someone who’s 42dd in this style of bra.

Thank goodness I found something that works.

I am 76 years old. I’ve been wearing a pullover type of bra. I’ve researched bras for a very long time. Also, it tlook me a long time to find my size. The other day I went to a retail store, wow have bras changed.

I tried on oodles of bras. It was not a happy experience. As I was leaving the store I meandered one more time thru the bra section of the store, and saw a bra that looked like a bra. I tried it on, shocked that it almost fit.

The cup size was too small. I took the info regarding the bra, went hone, went to the Bali site and ordered my size. It arrived, I put it on, and it fits perfectly, I just ordered a second one. Thank you Bali for this well made and comfortable item.

Thank God that I found it!.

I have been buying and wearing this bra for many years. I have always ordered the same size. The two that I recently ordered, same size, were way smaller than they use to be. And stupid me, I washed it before I tried it on since it was supposed to be exactly like I have always worn, I couldn’t return them.

Unless I lose about 30 pounds, these are useless. Not sure why the sizes have changed, and no, I have not gained weight! Proof is my lifetime at goal membership in Weight Watchers. 🙂 I am ordering one more in a much larger size and will try it on before washing this time.

Material weich & angenehm, träger wirken stabil. Total unauffällig auch unter durchsichtigerer Kleidung. Zufrieden :).

TranslateShow in original languageEr hatte die beste Passform und den praktischsten Schnitt, den ich je an einem BH gesehen habe. Man zog ihn an wie ein Jäckchen, konnte ihn vorn verschließen und sogar die Länge der Träger vorn einstellen.

Durch den Schnitt hinten (es läuft nur ein einziger Träger zwischen den Schulterblättern nach oben) hatte ich eine ganz neue Bewegungsfreiheit in den Schultern – es war ein wirklich tolles Gefühl! Dazu formte er die Brüste sehr hübsch und passte wie angegossen.

Aber leider gab es doch ein Problem: nämlich den Einsatz von Spitze im oberen Rücken. Er kratzte auf der Haut, reichte mir zu hoch in den Nacken, und was das Schlimmste war: Die Nahtwülste, wo vorne die Träger angenäht waren, kamen genau auf meinen Schlüsselbeinen zu liegen und scheuerten wie verrückt.

Wie ärgerlich! Ich habe lange darüber nachgedacht, ob ich den Spitzeneinsatz nicht heraustrennen und durch zwei weiche Träger (im Rücken mit einem Ring verbunden) ersetzen sollte, weil das Tragegefühl und das Handling mir ansonsten wirklich toll gefielen.

Aber dann habe ich es mir nähtechnisch doch nicht so ganz zugetraut, und für Experimente war der Preis mir letztendlich auch zu hoch. Ging mit großem Bedauern zurück!.

🙂 Ich wollte den BH unbedingt behalten, denn er sitzt gut. (Ist m. E. aber nur etwas für eher zierliche Frauen (Größe 75), denn er ist ja nicht in der Weite verstellbar. ).

Love these simple bras! So comfy- like wearing nothing, but just enough nipple coverage to look decent- plus enough lift to avoid under-bust sweating. I have bought multi packs several times. The colors are great to wear over a regular bra as well- for too large arm holes, or cleavage coverage.

Much cooler than a hot under shirt or cami.

These strappy bras are perfect for those days you just want to be casual and enjoy your day. They wash well and keep their shape very nicely. The colors hold up and don’t seem to fade. They are all around comfortable and very happy they include the bigger sizes too! Thank you Fruit of the Loom for a great product!.

This bra fits well and keeps things where they should be. The straps are a little long for me, even at their shortest, but that is not unusual for me. The band size runs a little large, so if you usually wear your bra band on the smallest hooks, order the next size down.

The cup sizes run small, as with most Chinese bras. Just order one or two cup sizes larger than usual, and it’s fine. Most women don’t mind that. Once you get the sizing figured out, these are very nice comfortable bras.

They’re pretty, they’re good quality — they even have metal strap slides and loops — and they wash well. Nice bra!.

this is a rotten experience. It is very scratchy material, and designed for someone with a very odd shape (most of the weight in a breast is not close to the straps). And I don’t see how it would. improve posture.

I feel so stupid for buying something that is not returnable. Making me rethink Zulily purchases.

I did not actually receive this bra until 02/04/2020, although it showed as delivered 01/06/2020! However, it was worth the wait and fortuitous that I hadn’t found time to file a claim. LOL! [It was shipped UPS via USPS.

] I like the three rows of hooks on the front in case you are not exactly the band size you ordered, plus the straps adjust on the front. It is very comfortable and I will order again. just hope the next order is delivered more promptly.

Im getting old. The girls are heading southmy shoulders are rounded from 40 years of desk work. Arthritis gives me problems with back fastening bra. This bra has raised the girls back to shapely proportions, gently encourages better posture and doesnt make m feel like a contortionist when fastening it.

All round win Id say!.

Comfortable to wear, easy to put on, wide shoulder straps, and great not to have painful grooves in my shoulders every night. Would definitely recommend this.

This bra is ok. Wish I had seen what the sides of the bra was like. Cup fitting fine but cut low at the sides and when youre quite big busted you need a good deep side fitting too. Will keep for a spare.

The comfort and the fit are perfect. This is a very soft sleep bra that provides just enough comfortable support without hooks in the back or stays on the sides. The front closure makes this more than a pull-over bra and gives bra a sexier appeal.

I love this bra and plan to purchase another. Just wish I could get it in black in my size.

Ive never had a bra that I would wear both for sleep and day wear. After first purchase, went back for 3more!! I regularly wear a 48D and the size 48 in this bra is very comfy. I wash them daily and they seem to be holding up well.

I bought one 4 inches larger than my band size to make sure it was comfortable over my pulled chest muscle. It IS comfortable! It is supportive enough so I can wear it out in public under my blouses but I do not wear it to bed.

Good value.

So I’m giving 5 stars because I really love this bra and it is very comfortable. My only complaint is the underwire, at times, jabs my arm. I wonder if they could make this bra and not have the underwire come up so far on the outside of the bra.

I have a number of underwire bras from other companies, and they have issues also. So I’m not taking a star off for that. I got my normal size and it fit PERFECT. I have 3 of these bras that I bought from 3 different sites.

I just should have come here since they have more color options. Very happy with this purchase.

I just had rotator cup surgery along with some other bone surgery. It’s going to be a long time before I can hook a back hook bra. I ordered a front hook bra from the manufacturer of the current bras that I have, and the fit is tight and horrible.

I realized that my bust is entirely too big to go without a bra. I decided to try a back support bra. I decided to give Exquisite Form a try. I normally wear a 42i. I also design and sew clothing. I advise all those who wear BACK hook bras, to disregard maufacturers instructions and to get the correct bra size by doing the following: Band size is determined by measuring under the bust.

If you’re under 36″ and you’re measurement lands on an odd number, round up 1. If your 36″ or above, and you land on an odd number, round DOWN. Take the measurement across the fullest part of your chest, subtract your measurement from above to find your cup size.

75% of women will find that they need a smaller band and larger cup. Measuring like this ensures that the weight and support of your bust is carried by the frame, not your shoulders. However, after the problem with the other brand of front hook bra, and reading comments about this bra, I decided to take measurements like Exquisite instructed.

I took my upper chest measurement. It landed on an odd number, so I rounded UP. Then I took my fullest bust measurement, subtracting the upper chest measurement to get the difference. This put me at 46DD and not 42i.

A back hook bra in 46DD would ride up, because the frame would be way too big. Well, I got the bra today and I’m very surprised to find that it fits well. So far, it’s not riding up. It’s supporting my bust without putting undue stress on my shoulders.

My bust is lifted and separated. The hook closure lays on my chest when I’m standing up, as it should. If you get a trampoline between the girls, your brain is too small. I’ve only ordered one bra, but I’m about to order another.

The bra has firm, non-stretch support, which is why measuring is so important. Since the back and sides are wide, they control skin roll; there’s no excess back or underarm bulge. Everything lays flat, which is much more slimming.

I had no real difficulties putting the bra on. I can see where this is an issue if the bra isn’t properly fitted. The bra is well made and comfortable, as long as it’s measured right.

The quality of this bra is excellent. The back support is the best. I do not feel anything, which is such an improvement. Before bras with this back support, the backs of my bras cut in me as well as moved up.

I was constantly having to pull down the back of my bras. When I put this on, I forget about it. The straps are comfortable and stable. They contribute to the overall support. Love the front opening.

I only wear real t-shirts as home. I do, however, mainly wear knit tops that are a thin, slinky texture. The silhouette is smooth and do not see the seaming along the cup. It is also smooth in the back since it is staying put! That alone is a reason to buy this bra.

The straps are not adjustable. I do not consider that a minus with a support bra like this. It is difficult to make the wider and thicker straps adjustable. They are too long for me. When wearing a bra with adjustable straps, I always have to pull them up to about their shortest position.

I think it ludicrous to complain about a bra without adjustable straps when they don’t fit. The possible sizes between people is endless. Therefore, I shortened the straps. It does not take long to do, but now they fit perfectly.

I would rather have these straps than thinner adjustable ones. As long as they are too long, it is easy to shorten. If they were too short, I would lengthen them b/c I sew, but I imagine most would just return.

There is one sizing aspect of this bra that I almost took away one star. I read the reviews and saw the suggestion to size up. There were enough that I did just that. I was a 40D at the time and ordered 42D.

The fit around was fine and when I shortened the straps everything was fine. After I wore it a while I began to realize that the cup size really was a little too roomy. It was not terrible, but it really looked like the 40D would be better, however I figured it would not fit around since there was no wiggle room on this one.

I have been losing weight slowly and got this in July. Instead of ordering a 40D in anticipation of losing weight I went ahead and ordered a 38D. I am writing this in Sept. Even though my measurements were 38, the bra did not close.

I did shorten the straps as before. Everything was fine except for the fit around my chest. I went to the fabric store and got a bra extender. The longest one had 4 eyes to the bra’s 6. I got another one with 3 eyes – cut off one row of eyes, stitched them together and worked fine.

Now the 38D does fit my 38D measurements. This bra has only one row of eyes. It is such a good support bra otherwise, I would encourage the company who makes it to add at least one row of eyes — two would be better.

No a lot of customers would add the rows, instead would send it back. I like a variety of bras, so when my weight has stabilized, I will buy another. It is hard to find this quality in a support bra.

Knowing this, you need to either go up one size or buy your size and figure on getting a bra extender.

I really like this bra. It has a LOT of support without needing underwire or minimizing the breast. The straps are nice and broad, and the back is very wide so there are no unsightly back bumps. This bra supports through its firm fabric, so there is not a lot a stretch as you might find in the typical bra these days, so be sure to order your actual size (most bras these days you can fudge on, because they are so stretchy).

Ordering your actual size is even more important becuase it clasps in front, you can’t make the band bigger or smaller like you can with the traditional back strap, and because the shoulder straps are not adjustable.

That said, I do find it runs true to size, but I would size up in the band if you aren’t sure. I usually wear a 38 D or a 40 C, and the 40 C fit me perfectly in this bra. A 38 band size would have been too small.

The top decrative part makes this bra very attractive.

I’ve purchased 2 of these, using my normal size. The first had a huge cup size, so I went down from a C to a B cup. This time the cup seemed more like a D cup to me. The bra itself looks like its a good product, but I’m not trying again because I am unable to actually go into a store to do a fitting.

That would be my suggestion for anyone interested in this product.

Love this bra. As one review says, shoulder pads would be a welcomed addition, BUT everything else is exactly as promised – and the shoulder straps are wide enough to help spread the weight out. This absolutely makes my clothes fit better, it lifts and holds without an underwire, so it is comfortable enough to wear all day.

It also lifts nicely so your under-carriage doesn’t get sweaty. Even with that, it really does minimize your look to a lovely silhouette.

If only this bra had padded shoulder straps! It’s mostly comfortable and offers a good amount of support. I am thrilled with the lack of underwires! But, if the straps were a little wider/padded, that would be nice.

This was a great idea, but not the best execution. I love that I can take my phone with me when I run. Some other reviews mentioned that it was difficult to get your phone in the pocket- I am not that flexible and I could get my phone in and out- I just had to do it at a stop.

It isn’t “easy access. ” It held my phone (iPhone 12 mini) well and it did not flop around on my run which I loved. I did not love the actual bra function as much. It was fairly secure for me (although I don’t normally have that many issues with that), but I did not like the Lycra top layer as it rubbed a lot.

I ended up just rolling up the lycra layer to be at the level of the under-bra line so it wouldn’t rub. I also don’t think the interior quality of the bra is as high as standard Lululemon quality. Bottom line- I bought this and it is final sale.

I will use it because I really don’t love most of the other options (pants pockets, ect. for phones), but I won’t buy another until it is updated a little bit.

In theory, this bra is amazing. I read a bunch of other reviews before purchasing. I’m glad I sized up as recommended but I’m not going to be purchasing another one unless this is redesigned. I love having a place for my phone but it’s too awkward to access mid run.

This is also incredibly difficult to remove afterwards when drenched in sweat. Here are the pros: comfortable bra for running/working out and a great pocket for stashing things. Cons: outer layer rolls up, pocket is hard to access, ran small.

Every other LLL bra I own is a size 4 and I’ve been wearing LLL bras for almost 15 yrs. I ordered a 6 in this one which writ well. I’m afraid the 4 would have been far too tight for the pocket to be accessible at all.

I am a 34C and was weary to purchase this as it is an A/B cup. I got my regular size 8, and it fit absolutely perfect. It is SO soft, cute, and comfy. The cups may be ever so slightly too short but it isn’t too bad – my chest is not falling out.

The length underneath the cups is perfect as I can wear it as a shirt at the gym. I have a hard time with sports bras as I find the cross back/halter strap styles hurt my neck, however this style is perfect.

This is my favourite sports bra purchase from lululemon, I also purchased the “like a cloud” along with the align bra, and the align is superior! I have previously purchased the flow y long-line and the energy bra, both of which were way too hard of fabric with very little give and too much compression for my liking.

This is the perfect bra!.

So I am 48 size 30H and 150lb 5ft7” So this bralette when you first put it on it so comfy. The lace around to bottom rides up instantly as it not long enough. For the most part you don’t know your wearing it.

It gives you a mono boob so you sweat in between your breasts. The straps must have been designed by a man as they are sewn together right on the top of the shoulders. Creating a thick chunky seam. I am not sure if it’s so uncomfortable because I have bigger heavy boobs.

But that big seam digs in so much by the end of the day it was so sore. I had to buy some of their silicone bra strap covers to be able to wear it with any comfort. Also where the lace rides up underneath it becomes really tight.
