Funny story- Bra Strap and Thong Showing

Bra Strap and Thong Showing

One day I was getting ready for school. I put on a bra, underwear (thongs), and a shirt,then skinny jeans and socks and my "Vans".


I was walking to school and I was wondering why people were looking at me. I was sitting in my chair and this girl said pull your pants up I said "ok". As i pulled my pants up some guy slapped my ass. The guy was also looking at my boobs. He wasnt looking at my Breasts. He was looking at my zebra print bra strap.

AHHHH!!!!

I tucked my bra strap in my shirt in and that was gone ,but I couldnt understand why people were looking at me.I said to my self ,"I pulled up my pants,I tucked in my bra strap, so what else is it that they are looking at me for?"

I asked my friend and she said "Ummmmm Ashlee you should really pull your pants up." i was like "OMG MY THONGS ARE SHOWING I FORGOT TO PUT ON A BELT!"

Best Uses:Everyday, Going Out, Office, T-Shirts
Describe Yourself:Comfort-oriented, Practical

Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friendI have a couple of these bras in my usual size and wear them practically every day, but now that I'm pregnant and getting bigger, I had to buy larger bras, but I knew it had to be this model. I love that the straps can cross in back so I don't have to worry about them slipping off my shoulders, but I can also move them to the normal position for shirts with wider necklines or lower cut backs. They're really comfy, but also have a pretty design and a flattering cut, so I don't feel like an old lady or anything. They're just perfect!

Bra etiquette

Q Should the bra be visible beneath clothing? Women here tend to wear tops that reveal bra straps or coloured bras that are visible under white T-shirts. My hunch is that this is done on purpose to be 'sexy'. Is this acceptable?














 





A From a fashion point of view, anything goes, really. The only iron-clad rule is that bras should fit well, which is more difficult to achieve than one would think.

According to one recent American consumer survey, 75 per cent of women polled were unhappy with the fit of their bras. So never buy bras without trying them on first and get the sales staff to help measure you if needed. The right fit gives good support and also looks nicer - no unflattering bulges because your bra is too tight - underneath your clothes.


Other than that, if you're exposing your bra straps, choose bras with nice slender straps (try Triumph's silver diamante bra straps, $19.90) rather than those with thick, frumpy straps in white or nude colours.

Also, be sensible with your exposure strategy. A halter top with a regular bra looks ridiculous even on the hippest fashionista. I urge you to consider a strapless or halter-style bra instead.

If you want to show off your bra under a thin or sheer top, pick a nice, presentable one rather than the ratty bra you have had since you first developed breasts. Some may consider this a little too risque but this is not the Middle Ages, and you know best what level of scrutiny you are comfortable with.

Lorna Tio, vice-president of marketing for underwear brand Triumph, also notes the growing popularity of bras that give a peek-a-boo effect when worn with low-cut or backless dresses. Those interested can check out the brand's Party Bra and Seduction collections.

How to Adjust Bra Straps

Having trouble adjusting your bra straps? Then read this article to find out how you can do it without asking someone else to do it for you.


1.) Look for the little rectangular or circular clip on the back of your bra strap.

2.) Loosen your bra strap by pulling the clip up to the desired size.

3.) Tighten your bra strap by pulling the front part of the strap - not the clip. Pull it down to the desired size.


4.) Repeat on the other side in order to obtain even bra straps.

Tips

The bra should rest about 1/2" from the bottom of your armpit.

If the bra strap is too loose the strap will fall off your shoulder.

If the bra strap is too tight it will leave indentions when you take it off.

For the majority of bra wearers, the ideal position for the fullest part of the bra cup after adjusting is halfway between shoulder and elbow.

Consider a professional fitting at a department or specialty store.

Why does my Bra Straps Keep Slipping off My Shoulders?

I hear this complaint all the time. “My bra straps keep falling off my shoulders!” Most think it’s because their shoulders slope too much or they have narrow shoulders. Both of these could contribute to the problem, but you’ll be surprised to know that there are several additional reasons your straps could be slipping off your shoulders. And most have to do with the way your bra fits.


1. Your straps are not tight enough. This may seem obvious, but many women simply don’t adjust their straps. Straps are only supposed to support about 10 percent of your breast’s weight. But they need to be providing some support or they will just fall off your shoulders. Make sure your straps are tight enough to provide support, but not so tight that they pull up your bra back.

2. Your cup size is too big. Many women, with age, lose their breast volume along the tops of their breasts. This loss of volume along the top of your breasts creates an empty space in the top of your cup. Without the cup being completely filled, the straps will tend to slip. Either go down a cup size, or make sure you lift and place your breasts into your cups so that the cup is properly filled.

3. You’re using bra extenders. A bra extender is an accessory that adds more length to the back of your bra. I sell them at HerRoom, but I really don’t like them. They can create additional problems, and shoulder straps falling off is one of them. When you expand the length of the bra back, you move the straps farther apart and closer to the edge of your arms. This increases the chances that your straps will fall off your shoulders. Instead of an extender, consider going up a band size and down a cup size. This will give you two more inches around your chest while keeping your cup volume the same.

4. Your bra back is not in the proper position. I know we’re all in a hurry when we’re getting dressed in the morning. But making sure you put your bra on correctly and getting it in the proper place is critical to your comfort the rest of the day. The final thing you should do after putting your bra on is reach back and pull it down so that it’s under your shoulder blades and even with the front of your bra. When you don’t do this, and your bra is left too high on your back, the front of your bra slumps, and the straps fall off. I can’t tell you how many times suggesting this simple thing to women has solved their strap-slipping problem.

5. Your bra band is too large. Similar to the back extender problem, if your band size is too large, your straps will be further apart. This too can cause your straps to fall off your shoulders. A loose band also causes the back of your bra to hike up. If you are experiencing both these symptoms, try going down a band size and up a cup size. This will tighten your band size while keeping your cup volume the same.


6. Wrong bra style for you. Not all bra styles are for everyone. Women with very square shoulders can wear the popular bras with wide-set straps. Women with slopping shoulders will have trouble. Women with narrow shoulders need to carefully look at the strap placement to make sure they are not too far apart for her frame. The bottom line is to know your body style and what styles do and do not work well.

Several manufacturers have worked hard to design bras to address this issue. For example, several Olga and Olga’s Christina bras have what they call a “Comfort Back” design. This back style brings the straps closer together in back and thus reduces shoulder slippage.

Racer back bra styles are also an option. However, there are a few issues with this style. First, racer back bras tend to be front closure. This is limiting in terms of adjusting for your best fit. Additionally, racer back bras can cut close to the neck and provide pressure to neck tendons, which can become sore after hours of wearing. So, keep this in mind before selecting racer back bras.

Leotard back bras look like the back of a leotard, rather than a traditional t-back where the strap comes down and attach perpendicular to the garment. This styling tends to give less slippage, but there are leotard back bras on the market that also slip. So, you really need to look and see how close the straps come together in the back.

As you can see the bra back is very important. Seeing how the bra back looks and fits will greatly help you in finding the right bra to solve your problem of slipping bra straps.

So, you don’t need to have slipping bra straps. A simple evaluation of your needs and the selection of the correct bra will have you comfortable and content.
