Straps struggle
Really struggling with the strap tension balance between being loose enough for comfort and tight enough for the best fit. Tight enough for the best fit and my neck and shoulders hurt. Too lose and I lose my great fit. The line between too tight and too loose is the the amount of time an avocado is perfectly ripe. I know that there’s the two finger tension rule but just saying...straps are just as inconsistent with stretchiness as bands. I can also get two fingers underneath with a variety of tensions, depending on how much I stretch the straps. Fitters adjust the straps tight but it’s never st these sweet avocado is ripe RIGHT NOW spot.

I feel you there. I tend to wear mine super loose for comfort, but do not get any lift that way. If I tighten them for support (or acceptable pictures 😂) they are not comfortable due to skin sensitivity. Plus at proper strap tension I get quadding in bras that would otherwise fit in the cup thanks to squishy breast tissue. Very frustrating!
Adjusting straps is still confusing to me. Too loose and they slide off, too tight and bras cut in at the strap/cup junction. I like to wear them a little bit tight. I guess all those years of wearing the wrong size and having the straps slide off makes me paranoid the straps are going to do that. Any time I feel my shirt seam move I think the strap is sliding off.
