Strapless bras might seem like they're not for every body because, well, there aren't any straps. To look at a bra, you'd think that the straps are what are giving your breasts support. As you adjust your straps your boobs move up or down, so it seems like they're the main support. Because of this, women with fuller breasts (D+) often don't think to buy a strapless bra even if their outfit needs one.
Strapless Bras For All
However, we think strapless bras are for everyone and that the culprit is incorrect sizing. To back this up, in 2008 there was a study done saying that 80% of women are in the wrong size bra. What we believe is that most women are not too big for a strapless bra, and they just need a great bra fitting session!
Why aren't women getting the right sized bras? Some think that it is complicated to measure yourself and find your size (trust us, we can help!), but we think there is an education gap in sizing. This lack of of bra-ducation (a word we've just coined) is the culprit. Bra shopping can be fun, and not a chore or something just to get through. If you have breasts and you want to wear bras, you should be having fun! From getting fitted (either at home or with an expert) to picking from all of the styles and colors available to you. We promise, it can be fun!
Big Boobs and Strapless Bras
Here's the truth of it, the band of the bra is actually what holds you up, not the straps. As long as your band fits snugly and doesn't ride up when you lift your arms or pinch you, then you've got the right size and your breasts will stay put. If you have trust issues, you can find styles with silicone on the bands and/or cups for added security, but not having it won't cause a wardrobe malfunction.
