Playtex has a bra now that the straps don't fall off the shoulder. It has a tag saying they don't fall off.
And it works! ! ! Bought one and like it.

I wear racer back styles. They won't fall off your shoulders.

how about sewing a piece of elastic just tight enough that it would keep your straps from slipping? I've heard that getting the right size bra does make all the difference in the world. You can find how to buy the right size bra on line at JCPenney when you are buying bras. Good luck

No matter how much I move my bra straps, they fall down. So I use 'It Stays', a roll-on. Just roll a bit on, place the strap in that spot, and you're all set!

No offense gals who love Victoria Secret's bras, but if I had one - I'd call it a pasty! lol There is not enough fabric in that bra to do a bit of good! and i'm not a big person....

But, I do like a firm uplift and one with good straps that do not come down - but have not had that problem for many years - I think the fabric straps were the ones with the problems, and always readjusting them to keep them taught - but once elastic straps came into play - no more problems - at least not for me.

I'm so glad you posted this. I've had it so bad some days I've used duct tape. Yes, duct tape. Don't judge.

I will be following all the advise posted here.

I was fitted once.....they decided a bra for me that made me look like Madonna with her cone cups -- only larger!!! NO WAY!
Also -- why do they make bras with padding for women over size D cup?????????????? We don't NEED that!!!!!
I'm going to experiment with the ideas here...however, I, too want to know where the "It Stays" can be purchased! It sounds like the easiest!!!

I have had that problem all my adult life. I now use the Dritz clear elastic bra strap, which I bought at Joann's. Here's a link: http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog/p...RODID=prd49436
