9 Bra Tricks Few Girls Know About
4. Use Panty Liners

Did your underwire just pop out of the bra? Thankfully, there is a solution. Cut a part of a panty liner and fasten it around the underwire. The panty liner comes with a little adhesive which is enough to keep the underwire from cutting through your skin. Also, panty liners are not very thick, and it won’t look like you have stuffed something inside the bra.
5. Invest In Bras With Broader Bands
6. Insert Silicone Pads

Silicon pads are life savers when it comes to bras. Insert two fingers under your bra straps. If they slip in easily, you are wearing the right size. If the bra is too tight, you will find it difficult to slip them in. Also, if there’s space for more fingers, you are obviously wearing a loose one. This applies to the band at the back of the bra too. There should be enough space for just two fingers. Once you know your bra is of the right size, you can insert silicone pads to give your outfit the perfect shape without having to invest in expensive padded bras.
7. Get Extension Straps

If you can’t determine what your exact bra size is, your bra extension straps will help you get the perfect fit. The extensions often come with additional hooks to make them tighter. If you feel the cup size is perfect, but the band is too tight, attach the extension to the farthest hook. You can also use these extensions if you have worn your bra a gazillion times and the elasticity is completely worn out, but you still do not want to discard it eventually. This hack will only add a few more months to its life.
8. Fix It With A Safety Pin

If you are annoyed with your peeping bra straps and don’t have strapless bras, you can save the day with the help of safety pins! Safety pins are life savers, and the ones with double locks can even protect you from accidents. Just take the shoulder straps off and secure them at the back with the help of the pins. But we don’t recommend using this regularly as it may not be the most comfortable trick on our list.
9. Try A Bra Tape

There are times when your bra strap will show from everywhere no matter how many times you pin it up or shift it to the side. So, at stubborn times like these, you need to let go of your bra and tape your breasts in bra tape instead. Once you feel comfortable with the fit, you can put on your clothes and have fun without worrying about the straps showing!
