My boobs grew in somewhere around third grade, and they kept coming in all the way through high school. I’m no stranger when it comes to needing bra hacks for big boobs, and when you’re going strapless, it’s ridiculously hard to find strapless bras for big boobs. Slipping, sliding, and digging are issues for everyone with the wrong bra and the wrong fit, but that goes double for girls seeking out bras for larger breasts.
That being said, it does not mean that you can’t wear that sleeveless dress or that backless shirt. You’ve got strapless bra options for bigger chests. Finding the right strapless bra for a bigger chest is partially about preference, but it’s also about build. A good rule of thumb is that thicker straps tend to provide more support, so the strapless bras that are holding themselves together with the fabric equivalent of dental floss just aren’t going to cut it.
Another rule is that, because all the support is targeted in one place, the torso strap tends to be tighter, so the softer and more comfortable the fabric, the better off you’ll be. Here are some of the best strapless bras, as well as strapless bra hacks, for bigger chested women, so you can take the pressure off your shoulders and off your mind.
Look For A Thick Bottom Strap
When you’ve got a fuller bust, the thicker the strap, the better. The Felina longline strapless convertible bra has flexible but sturdy bone siding and a thick fit to keep your chest supported. While the back strap is still particularly thick, it dips for lower backlines, and because the bra presses right against your skin and has a seamless construction, it won’t show underneath your clothes.
You Can Wear A Bandeau
Some women just don’t like to be confined, and if that’s you, the Dinamit seamless padded bandeau is an awesome option to try. It’s made to stay in place all day and night with its built-in contouring and removable pads, but it does so without any wiring, clips or straps. A particularly happy reviewer says, “I could not be happier with this bandeau. It doesn't ride up or shift around, which had been a problem with another bandeau that I had.”
Don’t Compromise On Support
If you’re one of those people who feels most comfortable with support and padding, the Vanity Fair strapless full figure underwire bra is a good pick. The thick band, double-knit smoothing fabric, and underwire provide full coverage without any slipping whatsoever. It’s got top ratings because it’s sturdy but comfortable, and it holds your chest where it should be without feeling too tight.
Backless, Too? Try These Awesome Adhesive Cups
Strapless is already tough — throw in backless, and we bigger-chested girls have another challenge. That being said, people swear by this Komene ultra lite backless strapless bra. The V-shape is especially great for larger breasts, and it comes with an adhesive to keep the cups in place all night long. One reviewer says, “I have DDD but this product was able to work with the D size. Held my boobs up perfectly in my dress to make it look like I had a bra!”
If Smoothing Is Your Goal, Go For Lightly Padded
This Lilyette by Bali tailored minimizer bra is specifically designed to downplay your chest area, so you can accentuate other areas. The padding is very thin, but the bra still provides the necessary hold and anti-slippage to keep everything put. Reviewers say it’s extra-soft and comfortable, can be worn underneath all types of clothing, and is a welcome change to straps that slide off or dig in.
Store Your Strapless Bras Carefully For Longer Wear
Most bras start to fall apart within a few months of wear and washing, but when it comes to strapless bras (where structure is everything), it’s extra-important to keep them preserved. This cup case bra storage is a great addition to your lingerie drawer because it stops your bra cups from creasing and bending. It comes in nine different colors, and is one of the only bra cases that accommodates fuller-sized cups. It’s also awesome for travel, as it can keep your bras from crushing in your suitcase.
When In Doubt, Use A Little Body Tape
This highly reviewed Hollywood Fashion Secrets fashion tape is a trick used by women everywhere, for just about every fashion mishap there is. The lightweight but incredibly strong tape strips can give your bra that little extra hold it needs to last all night. That being said, they’re also very easy to take off without any pain, and they won’t irritate your skin, even if it’s extra-sensitive.
Get The Push-Up Effect With A Structured Strapless
If shaping is something you want from your bra, this La Isla anti-slip lace strapless bra is the strapless equivalent of a push-up bra. It’s made with a special structure inside the cups that helps lift and support your chest, and it also has comfortable power bands, so you’ll forget it’s strapless in the first place. People love the beautiful lace finish, as well as the comfortable fit, and one even said that this bra must’ve been made by angels.
Try A Bustier For No-Slip Support
A great quality bustier is the best way to assure that your underwear isn’t going anywhere. This Goddess lace bustier is surprisingly comfortable, as well as sexy and supportive. Because it’s got ribbing all around and a bottom band, it fits wonderfully around your waste and upper back without any slipping or sliding. It also has hook and eye closures in the back for a little bit of adjustment, and reviewers say it might just be the best bra ever.
If All Else Fails, Try Invisible Straps
Finally, if strapless just isn’t an option for you for whatever reason, go invisible. These invisible clear replacement bra straps have a clear matte finish that make it look like you don’t have any straps at all. They’re also durable, adjustable, and can be attached to any bra with removable straps. Reviewers say they’re some of the best clear straps they’ve ever used, and they virtually blend into your skin.
