How do you keep a strapless bra from falling down?

The most effective way to keep a strapless bra from falling down is to ensure you're wearing the correct size. Use our bra size calculator to find your bra size.

To keep your strapless bra in place, look for a bra that has the following support features:

  • A tight, snug-fitting band: Look for a wider band that's slightly tighter at the top than it is at the bottom. 
  • Silicone grips along the top and bottom of the band: Many strapless bras include strips of silicone or rubber along the edges of the band to provide extra grip and hold the bra securely against your skin. 
  • Structured, molded cups: To create a lifted, rounded shape without straps, strapless bras often have more structured cups compared to regular bras. This may include molded or contoured cups, padding, and/or underwire.
  • Sturdy underwire. While a bra with straps might have a slightly more flexible underwire, you want the wire in your strapless bra to be a bit thicker to increase the bra’s overall supportiveness.
