Stop bra straps from slipping with The Strapper

Filed under: Accessories, Swimwear and Lingerie


Even if Carrie Bradshaw made it work for her, we don't want our bra straps showing. And considering most of our bras straps don't fit exactly like the straps of our tank tops and dresses, it's difficult to avoid.

Of course, we could buy a bra specifically made for each type of top we wear, but that gets expensive and complicated, fast. No, we want an easier (and cheaper) solution, and we think we found it in The Strapper.

The Strapper is a little plastic device that brings your bra straps to the middle of your back, allowing you to wear even racerback tops without showing a strap. It works with all types of bras and comes in a variety of colors to ensure it won't show through your shirt.

We were sent a sample, and we were pleasantly surprised to learn that it's totally comfortable. The only difficulty we had was getting it on -- we needed help getting it properly positioned. However, we were able to wear it all day with no discomfort. And, if you have a bra that's a little droopy, this will add a bit of lift.

The Strapper is available here, starting at $5.99 for one, but we'd recommend getting at least a three-pack so you have some color variation. And keep checking back here at StyleList -- later this year, we'll be giving away five-packs to some lucky readers!

Oh, and whether you buy now (during Breast Cancer Awareness Month) or later, partial proceeds from every purchase go to The Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
