Have you tried a strapless bra, and if so, how did it work out for you?

Did it fit and feel "right"?  (Assuming you have the correct size.)

I cannot say that I actually have a need for a strapless bra, as using a bra with straps is just fine to use for the clothes I wear.  Plus, if a bra strap just happens to appear, well, that is likely okay in casual situations I suppose.

I suppose you can wear a strapless bra with most any top or dress.

What has been your experience wearing strapless bras?

No experience at all.  I am not sure how I would hold one up.  😄

I've not tried one yet but consider it might be necessary with tops that have no shoulders! I'm still small at B cup so will likely work fine. I expect issues if you're larger for sure!

I do like the looks which show off the straps sometimes, but usually with wide neck tops rather than full shoulder less.

Initially, I always wore a bra. It was one of the most affirming articles of clothing I had. Eventually, I discovered they could become incredibly hot in the summer, and most of them were not really very comfortable. I rarely wear a bra now. I usually wear a camisole under my clothing. Although they can still be hot in the summer, they are much more comfortable than a bra. If a camisole won't work, you can use 'petals', adhesive covers for your nipples.

Hello, well...I tried it, but had no luck at all.
I am not sure if I strepped it correctly in the back, or the size wasn't right...but I did not like it. Maybe I will try again another time, but I am not that encouraged.

I continue with the straps, they feel more conmfy and I like wearing them.

Love.

I had one once. It was ok, but I wasn't comfortable with it. I prefer to have my shoulders covered, so straps work best for me.

My size is also B.  I do not wear cold shoulder type of tops but I may finally try a thinner strap dress this coming summer.

I have toyed with the idea of purposely letting a bra strap show but said perhaps if I was 25 again I might.

I understand this Jess.  I really enjoy camisoles.  I have not tried any nipple covers.

Strapless bras do not sound promising!

Right now I'm a natural a cup at best, if you fudge numbers.  A strapless would be unwise

I have tried a strapless before but didn't get away with them. I don't think they work well with larger breasts so I don't think I'll bother trying again now. They just don't give the support. I also think that the strapless dresses and tops work better on a smaller frame with more sensible size boobs, maybe around a B would be perfect. When I did try them they gave a very odd shape if wearing anything figure hugging sort of a stepped look across the top of the bra. Might have been choice of bra though.

I can confirm strapless bras work great with B size. I wore with my cute black lace dress x

I am thinking of doing something so I can get to a b cup.

Had one and it didnt work. I just started HRT and soon outgrew it.
