8 Quick, Easy & Money-Saving Bra Hacks For All Your Bra Strap Needs

If you ever experience any annoyances or discomfort with your bra, we’re going to solve all of those problems right here, right now. In this tutorial, I’m going to share with you some money-saving bra-hacks that are very quick and easy to do. Let’s get started!
Tools and materials:
- Extra bra hooks
- Transparent straps
- U-pin or safety pin
- Bra extension
- Band-aid
- Double-sided tape
1. Bra tuck
If you tuck your t-shirt inside your pants, you can end up with a bit of a bulge, especially if the pants are tight-fitting, and we obviously don’t want this.
Instead of tucking your t-shirt inside your pants, you can tuck it inside your bra, which won't give you that bulge, and it will also give you a nice cropped look which I really like.
2. Extra bra hook
If you have a bra where the cup size fits you but it is too small around your back, and you need some extra length to it, then buying some extra hooks might help you. All you need to do is hook the extra section onto your bra hooks, and voilà !
You have now extended the length of your bra and don’t need to invest in a new one.
3. Transparent straps
If you are wearing an off-the-shoulder or one-shoulder top or dress, transparent straps for your bra are a real must-have. Instead of buying a new bra, you can simply take one that you already have, remove the straps and insert some transparent ones on instead.
The transparent straps look very subtle and are great for tops like these.
4. U-pin
When wearing a tank top like this, the bra straps are always seen.
The solution to this is to just use your u-pin or safety pin to join the straps together just like this.
Now your bra is no longer visible.
5. Halter neck bra
You can create a halter neck bra with the regular bra that you currently have. To do this, simply remove one strap and elongate the length of the other strap.
Then take it over your head and attach it to the other side.
6. Lower back bra
If you are wearing a backless top and don’t want your bra to be seen, get yourself a bra extension and attach it to your bra hooks.
Then bring it round to the front and hook it.
Now the bra is lower around your back, and you can wear a top with a lower back without having to worry about your bra showing.
7. Itchy straps
If you experience the straps of your bra itching you, to get rid of this itchiness, you just need to take a band-aid and apply one onto each strap
8. Shirt opening
This last issue is one that many of us experience which is your bra showing through the gaps of a button-up shirt.
To get rid of this problem, just take one piece of double-sided tape and stick it onto your shirt placket between the buttons.
No more unwanted revelations!

I've used paper clips instead of safety pins or those U-pins you mention, never heard of them. I've never had a bra with straps that come off so can't try some of the things you mention. Crystal, I quit the underwire bras years ago as they were very aggravating like you say. I took the wires out of the ones I owned & have never bought them since.
Meera Kaneria, when you're talking it's very hard to hear you.
