How to Get Rid of Bra Strap Indentations on Your Shoulders (and Keep Them from Coming Back)

Having indentations on your shoulders from bra straps can be unsightly and uncomfortable. However, you can take some steps to minimize their appearance and stop them from coming back.

Steps:

  1. Make sure you’re wearing the right size bra. Even the best fitting bra won’t help if it’s too small or too big.
  2. Choose the right bra strap width. Wider straps are more comfortable and disperse the weight of the bra, helping to prevent indentations.
  3. Pick the most comfortable bra that you can afford. Look for adjustable straps and lightly lined bras that don’t pull or pinch.
  4. Place a soft fabric like silk or cotton between your skin and the straps. This will help reduce friction and abrasion to your skin.

Tips:

  • Keep the straps properly adjusted for the best fit.
  • Try to avoid sleeping with your bra on. This can create unnecessary friction that can cause indentations.
  • Try using a facial moisturizer with vitamin E and aloe vera, which can help keep skin hydrated and reduce irritation.
  • Massage the indentations with a little aloe vera gel or coconut oil for a few minutes to help relax the area.
  • Visit a bra fitter to have your correct bra fit and shape determined. Bra fitters can help ensure the right size and style for you.
