How To Tighten Bra Straps - The Strap Saver

How to Tighten Bra Straps

If you need to corral bra straps that snake their way down your arms, look no further than our simple tutorial:

1. Find that little plastic or metal slider on your strap. It’s usually found along the back and often looks like an 8 or ⃠. (Not all bras have one. If yours doesn’t, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!*)
2. After some effort, realize this little clip is too far for you to reach without taking off of your bra, which means taking your shirt off too.
3. Take off your shirt.
4. Take off your bra.
5. Adjust the strap by sliding the clip away from where the strap loops through the ring. This will make the strap smaller. (doubling the strap)
6. Put the bra back on.
7. Notice that you’ve made your straps uneven.
8. Take the bra off, again.
9. Even out the straps.
10. Put the bra back on.
11. Unfortunately, your straps are now too tight, you’ve aligned to the wrong slider.
12. Take the bra off, for a third time.
13. Loosen them a little, but definitely keep them even this time.
14. Put the bra back on.
15. Woo hoo! No more loose straps.
16. Put on your shirt, hope you didn’t smudge your makeup, get deodorant on your shirt or muss your hair and now you’re free to go… except…

What if you have reached the end of your strap? What if you need to tighten your bra strap more but there is no more?

• You could pin it. (the potential for sticking yourself is pretty high, at least the potential for us sticking ourselves is VERY high)
• You could sew it. (Do you know how to sew? Won’t that make it bulky? How short do you make it? Do you even own a needle and thread? *cough* we don’t!**)
• You could use The Strap Saver. It’s the no-sew solution for when you hit a strap dead-end, but don’t want to give up on your beloved bra. (Plus, they banish Clip Creep! No more starting the day with a snug strap, only to have it loosen as you take care of the business that you do.)
