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?

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

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.
