It's Straptastic!


I may have found the perfect solution for stubborn bra straps, the Strap Perfect. This product was praised by a few of my friends who have owned the little plastic clips for months. All I have heard is how great the clips work. I finally decided to try them, and it looks like I will continue to use them, especially once tank top and dress weather hits.

I picked up a box of the Strap Perfect clips from
Walgreens for $9.99. Now, I think a price of $5.99 would better suit the product. The box contained six clips: two each of clear, black and nude, along with a pack of clear tape strips for adhering revealing clothing. I can see the tape being very useful for those nights out when the cleavage shirt has the potential to malfunction. I am sure many women know what I am talking about, and it's never fun to spend the entire evening fidgeting with your shirt.

To put the product to the test, I first tried it with a racer back tank top. It worked like a champ, no straps. Then I tried it on a dress that from the front the straps are almost concealed but a quick look at the back shows a less than classy look. The Strap Perfect solved the problem in about 10 seconds. It is so easy to clip on and I was able to do it alone without even having to awkwardly stand and try to look at my back in the mirror.





The final test was simple. I have a bra that no matter how I adjust the straps, they always seem to fall. It makes for an annoying and uncomfortable night at work when I am constantly adjusting and pulling my straps up. After an evening with the Strap Perfect-No problems! Well, maybe one small problem. I would suggest loosening the straps on your bra if you plan to wear the Strap Perfect clip for an extended period of time. I failed to do so and got a headache from the pressure and by the time I got home, had strap lines embedded across my shoulders and back. It was a little painful but of no fault other than my own.

The claim to better posture seems to hold true. the added pressure of the clip does seem to force the shoulders back a little, so I guess I'll give it some credit. Now the claim to a better cleavage line, um yes please. Pair the clip with a good push-up bra and you have an amazing push-up bra. The girls will look fantastic.

I am going to say this is a great product, a little expensive, but overall great. It's a quick, simple solution to a nagging problem.

  1. handy little tool. I bought something like that at WalMart for a play I was in last year. It worked quite well but instead of a clip, was an adjustable strap-and I think it was cheaper. Either way that is a good thing to know.
