Do any of you ladies have the need to wear strapless bras from time to time?  I'm in the market for one.  In the past I've purchase some with multiway straps that were not so great.  I'm looking for something that really stays put and doesn't wind up down by my waist before the day is done.

 

I'm typically a Wacoal gal; but if you know of any brands with good stay put support, I'm open for suggestions.

 

Thank you in advance for replying.

@itiswhatitisI would check out Victoria's Secret. Also on Rank and Style website, they list some of the better ones.

I bought a Carole Martin strapless comfort bra from Amazon.  I tried it on and it fits fine.  Tuesday, I'm going to wear it all day just see how it feels and if it stays up.  That's my fear with strapless bras, that they'll slip.  This one is more of a real bra, don't know why they called it comfort.  It is a bandeau, no clasps or hooks or anything.  I haven't worn a strapless bra in 20 years and that was some horrid adjustable thing that wore because I was maid of honor at a friend's wedding and the dress had spaghetti straps. It was $$$ and I wore it once and was done with it.    I bought one now because I've been seeing so many pretty off the shoulder tops, so I bought the strapless bra just in case, I see one that I must have.

It's been years .... but the only strapless that ever stayed up was a longline strapless (with boning).  

 

I just googled ... they still sell them.   JCP even sells them.

Make sure you go down to the smaller range of your band size.  For example, if you are a 36" regular band size, go down to a 34" so that the band fits more snugly than it usually would in a bra with straps.  This keeps the girls hoisted higher and also helps prevent downward slippage.  Comfortable? no.........., but it gets the job done (for the short time you need)

My 14 year-old granddaughter is wearing a backless dress to her first boy/girl dance.  My first question was what kind a bra are you going to wear?!  She told me there is something called a "sticky" bra!  Guess I'm too old for her generation!!

Kohl's sells sticky bras.  Their brand is called....

Maidenform Bra: Invisible Adhesive Backless Strapless Bra.

 

Target & Walmart sells "sticky bras."

 

FWIW...

As a proud member of the itty bitty club, the sticky bras work perfectly for me.  No slippage what-so-ever.

@itiswhatitis I have never found one that worked like it should.I think the bras always slip down and you end up with that double bubble trouble that the breezies girls refer to.
