What makes the straps comfortable?

Troubleshooting
Straps digging into shoulders
Ensure the bra is the correct size. If it is, adjust the strap length to a comfortable setting. The wide padded straps are designed to minimize discomfort, but incorrect band size can still cause issues.
Bra band riding up
Check if the band size is correct. The band should be snug and sit parallel to the floor. If it's too loose, it will ride up. Consider if a smaller band size is needed.
Cups not providing enough coverage or minimizing effect
Verify that the cup size is correct. Ensure your entire breast is within the cup and that there is no spillage. If you are between sizes, consulting a professional fitter might be beneficial.
Discomfort under the arms
Ensure the bra's underarm casing is sitting smoothly against the skin and not folded or digging in. Sometimes a slight adjustment in how the bra is put on can resolve this.
