5 tricks to make your bra an all-rounder
Your new dress has a sexy neckline, but you do not want to give up the supportive underwear? The straps of your bra lace up in the skin or are already exhausted? For these and other bra problems, we'll tell you top tips that make every bra an all-rounder:
1. Backless, but not a matching bra?
A sexy neckline is always an eye-catcher. For those who still do not want to go topless (and do not want to spend an expensive new investment), there is a great DIY opportunity to put the back and neckline in the same scene.
Take an old bra, pins, needle and thread. Now put on the brassiere, above that the chosen dress. Then pin the bra with the pins on the dress and carefully take everything off again. Then sew both pieces together.
2. DIY for "X" parts
Even with (sports) tops with X-neckline, the bra straps can stand out. A simple hack for this problem is BH braces (e.g., from Nordstorm). These are inexpensive and are easily attached to the back where they transform a normal bra into an X-bra. Even more cost-effective you get away with a normal paper clip. If it needs to be fast, the bra straps can also be put together with it.
3. The bra straps flash out from under the shirt
The solution to this problem is simple: if the bra wearer constantly peeks out from under the top or falls over his shoulder, an X-shaped bra should be chosen. Alternatively, can you invest in Braza Happy Straps? These also give the wearers extra grip and resilience.
4. Aligned bra straps
Nice underwear is not cheap. It is all the more annoying when bra straps lose their elasticity over time and thus do not provide the necessary support. Especially stupid: Mostly we blame ourselves for this phenomenon.
One reason why wearers wear out: they are thrown into the washing machine too often. When wet, the wearers are more likely to become entangled in other items of laundry and thus become unnecessarily stretched. That is why it is always important to wash bras in a laundry net. You can get these in every drugstore. After washing, bras should also be air dried. To do this, do not hang the brassiere on clothespins, but place it on the drying rack.
5. The bra straps cut into the skin
The most common reason why bra straps are cut is simple: they are simply too short. After purchasing a new bra, women should definitely adjust the length of the strap individually.
The straps are set correctly and cut anyway? Then shoulder pads are the solution. These are small silicone pads that attach to bra straps - just where they cut into the skin. The pads ensure that the weight is distributed over a larger area. This prevents skin irritation and pain.
