Pesky bra issues—solved!

Argh! Maybe an old bra has worn out or that new bra wasn’t all you’d hoped; but whatever the reason, we’ve got a solution!

Loose straps?

Try a converter

Straps that have lost their elasticity lack the strength to hold up sagging breasts. But a racerback clip like Hollywood Fashion Secrets Bra Converting Clip ($7, Walmart.com) hooks onto straps and pulls them taut at the back for an instant lift.

Band too tight?

Try an extender

Realize that your bra band is digging into your back creating a bulge? Simply attach an extender like Soma 3 Hook Bra Band Extenders ($10, Soma.com) to the band’s hooks. It lengthens the band by up to two inches.

Underwire chafing?

Opt for a liner

The combinatio­n of loose cups that slide and underboob sweat can cause skin-irritating rubbing. The fix: a cotton liner like Wick’em Sensitive Skin Bra Liner

($20, BareNecess­ities.com). The fabric absorbs moisture and thwarts friction.
