As Seen On TV
There's nothing that gets under my skin more than a seemingly adorable outfit ruined by a very noticeable imperfection. A cute pair of trousers that are too short in length. Someone's granny-panty lines staring you right in the face. Wearing a chunky beaded necklace...with dangly beaded earrings...and beaded bangles. But there's nothing I dislike more than exposed bra straps. This is one wardrobe malfunction I struggled with often. When wearing certain summer tops it's just inevitable the straps will show. Unless you constantly wear a strapless bra....but who the hell wants to do that? To try & solve this problem I to use a big safety pin to keep the straps from being exposed. But this method was both uncomfortable and constricting. Not to mention you could run the risk of the safety pin opening and stabbing you in the back. And that’s never a good look.
I'm sure many of you have seen the advertisement for Strap Perfect on TV. It’s the little circular piece of plastic with cutouts designed to keep your bra straps from showing. In the winter months when I first saw the infomercial, I scoffed. Who the hell would pay money for that? But by the time summer rolled around, I was having bra strap woes galore. While perusing the As Seen On TV section in Walgreen's one day I saw Strap Perfect for sale. Six “Perfects” for 15 bucks.....dare I? I’ve spent good money on far stupider things. Like the time I was drunk in a bar & gave the bathroom attendant $20 when she gave me a sob story about her dead beat baby-daddy. And that time I bought sandals that were 2 sizes too big while shopping in Capri.....also drunk. But in Walgreen's I was sober (and curious), so I gave them a shot.
In short, it ended up being a great purchase! The “Perfect” is easy to attach and very easy to adjust the placement. My bra straps always stay perfectly in place. I'll even wear it when I don’t need to, just to avoid the annoying strap slippage that can suddenly occur. Strap Perfect gets the Gina seal of approval and I recommend it to all. Who have boobs of course.
