Silicone on Strapless Bras

Am I the only one who hates those silicone grippers on strapless bras? None of the strapless bras I used to own had that, but they were also all the wrong size.

I recently bought the Panache Porcelain strapless and felt miserable after a few hours in it. I wore it today with straps but 12 hours after I've taken it off, I still have painful and itchy welts where the silicone grippers were.

Is there some kind of trick to wearing these bras? I did some looking today and it seems that most strapless bras available in my size come with these awful things!

Would bra liners help? I tried to find a seller that would ship to me on eBay and they are all charging like 20 bucks alone for shipping that few pieces of fabric! It's ridiculous!

  • I am really interested in advice on this as well. I have the same problem with my Freya Deco bra - it is definitely not too tight, but the silicone grippers leave painful and annoying marks, especially on one side... So I sympathize and hope someone knowledgeable replies!

  • Offtopic but important - I have never met a strapless bra I could make work, but in the process I did discover I was in fact allergic to silicone. And from what you've described, I think you might be too :/
