Sometimes customers mention that they have narrow or sloping shoulders and that this leads to their bra straps slipping. Leotard back bras can help prevent bra straps slipping. This weekend a customer asked,
"I am looking for a bra with a leotard type back in order to help with slipping straps. I have fairly narrow shoulders and this is a problem that I would really like to correct."
Leotard Back Bras
- Leotard back and racer back bras mean the straps are cut closer to the neck rather than than the shoulder edge.
We have one leotard back bra.

Tips & advice for when my bra straps slip
- Make sure your straps are not too loose, try shortening them. Here is a tip for you. When tightening your straps, try slipping two fingers underneath the strap. Any tighter than this and you will get the dreaded shoulder dig in (this can hurt!) and any looser than this and your straps will slip. If your straps still slip then it may be time for a new bra or a different size or style.
- Ideally we would recommend fastening your bra on the middle set of hooks, this aligns the straps correctly for maximum comfort.
- Check your cup size, this is a key cause of bra straps slipping. If you have not had a fitting in the last 12 months then do it! Too small a cup size and too large a back size will make your straps fall down.
- How old is your bra? Bras can get tired. The elastic can stretch and get baggy which is bad news for your bra straps. Be honest is it time to overhaul your underwear drawer and invest in some comfortable new bras? We have a great selection, so you can search your size.
- Get the right style for you. Have a look at our bra style guide. Narrower shoulders or sloping shoulders might mean that a bra with wider straps suits you best. Have a read of our blog post with bras recommedned for sloping shoulders.
