I was fitted at a bra shop and told this style and size was the one for me. I guess I should go back and see if they have a solution for my problem.
Really? Yes, I'd definately go back and tell them what's going on. They didn't do a good job of fitting you if the bra strap is falling down....unless, have you washed it several times in hot water, maybe accidently throw it in the dryer?

My dh helps with the laundry and sometimes will throw mine in the dryer. Until he found out how much they costs. Now we do a bra count when he does the laundry.

In a pinch, I've cut an appropriate length of 1/8" ribbon and had my husband tie my straps together in the back. Haven't had this problem since I changed to a bra that hooks in front.

OK, now how in blazes do you reach back there and adjust that thingamagig? Or do you snap yourselves together in the front and twist and turn into the "cups"?

Did you try them and how did they work for you? I saw them, but you have to buy 6 or 8 of them in a box for $10.00. I don't need that many especially if they don't work good.
i got a box of three- nude, clear, and black for like $5-6 they work great for me.. I like them..

I did buy some latex (rubbery material) strap holders from Bali at the Outlet Mall that the bra straps fit into. You put them at the top of the shoulder where the strap is. I used them for a long time until I changed bra styles. The material will remind you of the kind that Halloween masks are made from. Very comfortable.
