Help! My bra keeps slipping

How to keep your bra in place 

Straps with a mind of their own. Wires wandering off course. Bands creeping upward without warning. If your bra has been behaving badly, it’s time to restore a little order, and we’re here to help.

Slippery slope | Straps that slip   

The sneaky strap-slip is an age-old bra conundrum, one that can be addressed by starting with your bra-fit basics.

Tip 1. We hate to be Captain Obvious, but let’s start by trying to tighten your straps.

Tip 2.  Next, try tightening your hook and eye to see if this helps your strap alignment. 

Tip 3. Still slipping? Try finding your perfect fit with our Bra Size Calculator. 

An uprising | Band rises up

When it comes to bra bands, we want two things: snug as a bug while sitting straight across your back, parallel to the ground.

Tip 1. First, try tightening your hook and eye.

Tip 2. Next, check to see if your straps are tighter than they need to be.

Tip 3. Band still going for a wander? Try finding your perfect fit with our Bra Size Calculator.

Wandering wires | Wire slips up 

How does one stop her underwire from sliding up over her beautiful breasts? Drum roll please... One must address her bra sizing, as her bra band is most probably the wrong fit.

The gape-keeper | Cups that gape

If your cups seem to gape or slip regularly, it may just be your natural shape expressing herself. That said, we have some tips to help set your ladies in a comfortable cup – minus the gape!

Tip 1. Start by scooping your breasts into your cups, ensuring that your underwire or wireless cups are comfortably sitting around your breast tissue.

Tip 2. Next, try tightening your straps to lift and support your cups into place.

Tip 3. Still not snug? Try finding your perfect fit and bra shape with our Bra Size Calculator and Bra Shape Guide. We’re sensing a theme here!

Sideline the slip with the million-dollar question... Time for a new bra?

If you’ve gone through all the above and you’re still slipping through the day, it may be time to replace your bra(s). She may be your all-time favourite, she may have seen you through it all – still, it may be time to bid your bra bestie(s) adieu. Review the fit of any bras that are a few years old with ample time in the playing field. If any bras in your collection are showing signs of wear and tear, it’s time for an upgrade!
