People are just realizing why your bras always fall off your shoulder - and a simple swap to fix it
A TIKTOKER has revealed a clothing hack that has helped numerous people stop their bra straps from falling down their shoulders.
The California-based creator shared the tip on TikTok, where she shares videos that help women "find great fitting bras."
Nicola Crook (@nicolacrookonline) captioned a video that featured her wearing a black bra while pulling up the straps asking viewers: "Are your bra straps always falling off your shoulders?"
The bra stylist advised that women shouldn't wear balconette-style bras if they have problems with their bra straps falling down their arms.
"The straps are always wide set," she explained.
The bra specialist then put on a different type of bra with screen text saying: "Don't buy bras that only adjust at the back,"
"Look for bras that have a closer set back," she said.
Nicola added that people who struggle to keep their bra straps on their shoulders should "look for bras that have fully adjustable straps" as well.
"Bras that have built-in racer back fastenings are great," she said.
At the end of her video Nicola admitted: "If all else fails, it might be time for a new bra because the straps have stretched out."

Viewers commented on the video sharing their bra struggles.
"I think my bras are too narrow or something [because] the cup doesn't stretch to the side of my chest so the side of my ribcage shows," one TikToker said.
Another added: "I need to wear a balconette bra otherwise I have gaping to the point you can look in and basically see my nip [because] I am full at the bottom."
Another useful video about bras that she shared on her account was viewed nearly 110,000 times.
In the video, she shared which bras are best for different breast shapes.
"There are a number of different ways to find out what shape you are and what bra works best for your shape," she said.
In the caption, Nicola went on to say: "Once you know what shape you are, it makes the process of buying bras so much easier!"
The content creator went on to explain a quick way to figure out what shape your boobs are.
She demonstrated what to do with screen text over the video telling viewers they can figure out what their shape is by leaning over and paying attention to which direction their "cherries" point.
"If they point up toward your head, you are full at the bottom, choose a full coverage bra," she informed.
If your girls point toward your knees, "you are full on top," Nicola's video said.
"Balconette bras are a good option," she advised.
The specialist added that, "if they point straight down when you are bent over, you are all the way round," meaning you can choose whichever style you like.
