How to Make Your Bra Strapless Without Cutting

1. Turn into convertible straps

This is a simple but effective method. All you require is a convertible bra that features removable straps.

• Put on your bra.
• Starting with your front right bra strap, adjust the extendable clasps to the far end to make the strap as long as possible.
• The next step is to position the bra strap across your chest through your left ribcage towards your left backside bra hook.
• Hook the bra strap on your right to the clasp on your back left.
• Repeat the same steps for the bra strap on your front left, hooking it to the back right clasp.
• Ensure that both straps are clasped tightly to offer your breasts firm support.

2. Use a paperclip

This is another simple way of making your bra strapless without cutting.

• Put on your regular bra
• Adjust the extendable clasps to be as long as possible
• Push over the bra straps so as to rest below your armpits just above the bra cups.
• Thereafter, push the bra straps together towards the center of your chest and hold the straps firmly with your fingers.
• Using a paperclip, clasp both straps together.
• If the bra straps are loose, you may want to adjust the straps to a comfortable snugly fit.
• In addition, if you desire, gently pull apart the bra straps to form an ‘X’ shape at the chest area. Alternatively, the straps may remain in a straight line above or below the bra cups.

3. Criss-crossing regular bra straps

• Put on your regular bra with the bra straps resting on your shoulder.
• Adjust the extendable clips ensuring that the bra straps are as long as possible.
• Pick the right bra strap and pass it over your head and rest it on your left neck.
• Next, push the right bra strap down your left shoulder through your left arm even as you pull your arm up so that the bra rests under your left armpit just above your bra cup.
• Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the left bra strap.
• Once both bra straps have rested above your bra cups, adjust the extendable clips ensuring that you get the perfect fitting; not too tight nor too loose.
• If need be, you can also place your bra straps to rest just below your bra’s band if you feel comfortable that way.

4. Tucking in the bra straps

This is a last-minute remedy for making your bra strapless without cutting and is an ideal bra hack for fixing your bra straps for instance, just before taking the photos.

Also, it is not meant to work for an extended time since it renders the bra not supportive enough. Therefore, ensure that your bra is a snug fit, especially across the band.

All you have to do is to:

• Tuck the right bra strap into your right bra cup at the side so that it sits well on the band.
• Replicate the same process for the left bra strap.
• If you anticipate that the bra straps may be visible, adjust the bra clasp such that the straps are shorter. Alternatively, you can tie the bra straps to form a knot.
• You may also prefer to tuck in the bra straps under your bra’s band securing it with bobby pins.

5. Hide the bra straps

• The initial step is to put on your bra placing the bra straps around the shoulders.
• Adjust the bra straps to be as short and tight as possible.
• The next step is to drop the right strap and stick it on the side of the bra cup.
• Replicate the above process for the left strap.
• Consider using boob tape or masking tape to keep the straps securely in place, as opposed to using a safety pin.
• Make sure to tuck the straps nicely to avoid forming bumpy edges.

6. Put invisible straps

If you have a big bust, you need a supportive bra, and a strapless bra won’t do you justice.

Therefore, you should consider using invisible straps.

If your bra features detachable straps, simply replace the straps with clear invisible bras and you are good to go.

Invisible straps feature fasteners that allow you to easily attach them to your bra.

Remember that invisible bras are discreet and rarely show under clothing. Thus, you get to enjoy the support and comfort of a bra in a strapless bra style.

FAQs about Making your Bra Strapless Without Cutting

Additional Questions

How can you create a homemade strapless bra?

You can easily transform your everyday bra into a **strapless one** that stays in place. Here’s a simple trick: Stretch the straps of your regular bra to their maximum length. Once this is done, slide your arms through the straps as usual, but instead of letting the straps rest on your shoulders, lift them over your head and wrap them around your ribcage. This instantly converts your regular bra into a strapless one, which will not be visible under any of your strapless outfits. This is a method I’ve often used when I’m out of other options and it works like a charm.

How can you go braless without any visible indications?

If you want to avoid wearing a bra while ensuring that nothing shows through your top, **nipple covers** can be your saviour. These small and inconspicuous accessories can be of great help when you want to wear a backless top or a slightly see-through dress. They work by sticking securely to your skin and they cover just enough to prevent your nipples from showing, providing you with a seamless look. Moreover, they are reusable, making them a practical choice. Trust me when I say, I have been there, and nipple covers have saved the day more than a few times!

What keeps a strapless bra from sliding down?

**Wider backbands** and some ingenious design features like **silicone dots or seams**, that’s how strapless bras stay in place. The wider backband on a strapless bra distributes the weight of your breasts around your body and prevents the bra from sliding down. Silicone dots or seams provide extra hold and stick to your skin to avoid any slippage. Furthermore, the cups are engineered in a way that they provide support without the need for straps. As a woman who has turned to strapless bras for numerous occasions, I can vouch for their effectiveness.
