Fit Problem
Why Do Bra Straps Dig Into My Shoulders?
Digging straps are often compensating for a band that isn't doing enough of the work, rather than a sign the straps themselves need loosening.
First test to try
Check the band-only test before loosening or tightening the straps.
Possible causes
- A loose band shifting support onto the straps.
- Straps tightened further than they need to be to compensate.
- A style with narrow straps carrying more load than a wider strap would.
What to try
Address the band first. If the band-only test is comfortable and secure, then consider a wider-strap style rather than continuing to tighten narrow straps.
