If your breasts don’t fill out the cups, your bra is too large.
If so, you’re wearing a cup size that’s too small.
If you’ve adjusted your straps and they still fall off, either the band it too big or your bra has lost it’s elasticity. If you have slopped shoulders, opt for a racerback bra or a style with convertible straps.
