Are you wearing the correct size? Because a properly fitting bra should always work strapless since the band should provide the most support. When I used to wear the wrong size, I could never get a strapless bra to fit and the straps would always dig in because they did the heavy lifting. I’m now much bigger than I was back then, and strapless bras actually work great for me.

If you’re interested in what styles worked for me, I’d be happy to help.
