10 things i hate about those bullshit straps that come with strapless bras
1. no store lets me knock off 1$-5$ for not taking them
2. they are purely a marketing gimmick so a style can claim you can wear it 100 different ways.
2a. you can wear them like maybe 20 different ways, and 15 of them are clearly a stretch
2b. crossing them over makes it a pain in the ass to put on, so that isn't an option
2c. if i wanted to wear conventional strap configuration, i'd get a normal fucking bra that is cheaper, has better, even padded straps
and not spend 10% more on fancy strapless / "100 ways" technology
2d. no one is fucking wearing both straps off to one side.
2e. i am not putting one of those fucking pointless straps though the center slots and wearing my bra like a necklace
3. the hooks are unstable and always end up coming out
4. they force the presence of hook receptacles which are another annoying structure making me itch and making weird marks in my skin
5. there is no way the clear kind isn't a giant sweat magnet
6. they love to fall off my shoulders more than normal attached straps
7. they just look like they'd break if asked to support any weight, and i've decided that's what happens
8. they are another stupid thing that i feel i should probably keep track of even though i have a maybe 10% chance of using, much like extra buttons that come with shirts.
9. their existence makes manufacturers think they can get away with putting less support structure in the band
10. i also hate the sticky crap used to minimize slipping, in lieu of making a decent product.
