How do I keep my bra from sliding?

Measure your band size. The most common reason for ride-up is that the band is too big. You can avoid ride-up by getting a bra with a snug band. Have a professional measure your band size, or do it yourself by wrapping a measuring tape firmly around your rib cage directly below your breasts.

What do I do if my bra band is too small?

If the red marks are caused by the band, then the band is either too tight or too small. Loosen it as much as possible, and if that doesn’t help, get fitted — you probably need to go up a size in a new bra.

Why does my bra strap keep falling down?

Your straps are too loose. Straps will stretch over time and with washing so you’ll need to adjust them when you first buy your bra and occasionally as you wear it. A band that’s too big also tends to ride up in the back which leaves your straps loose and more prone to slip down. You’re wearing the wrong style.

How can I increase my bra band size?

If you need to add more length than just adding the bra fastener pieces, you can sew a scrap of fabric or elastic in between the hook and eye pieces to make a longer extender. You can add up to about 3 inches (7.5 cm) of extra room to your bra band this way, without altering the fit of the rest of the bra very much.

What is difference between 36B and 36C?

For example, if you are wearing a 34B that is too small in both the band and the cup, you should try a 36B because it would have a larger band and a larger cup. Most women would think they should get a 36C, however a 36C would be an increase of both 1 band size and 2 cup sizes.

How can I make my bra tighter?

Loosen a tight bra strap by holding the slide adjuster in one hand and pulling the back part of the strap away from the adjuster. The slide adjuster should move closer to the bra cup. The closer the adjuster is to the cup, the shorter and tighter the bra strap will become. Adjust the other strap.

How do you fix a bra that rides up?

The bra elastic’s memory is gone and it is time to put it out to pasture (aka the trash can). Next get re-sized and get a new bra! If your band rides up like this, tighten the band by using different hooks. If it still rides up, get a new bra, probably one with a smaller band size and/or a larger cup size.
