Every woman in society, from puberty to the rest of her life, wears a bra almost every day. But it’s surprising to know that a lot of women still have much to learn when it comes to making their bras work for them. These simple bra-wearing hacks, tricks and tips will have you rethinking of how you wear your everyday bra.

Transform your standard bra straps into a racerback by using a paperclip. You can also use this technique to keep the straps from peeking out under sleeveless tops.

Sew in a bra strap holder into your tank tops to keep bra straps in place. You just need a tiny strip of fabric or ribbon and a set of clasp buttons.

Maintain the shape of your bras and keep them from getting flattened or crushed during travel by using a bra traveling case or cup case. Even better, just store them in one of those bra-washing cases.

If you have backless dresses with no adequate padding for the chest area, you can sew the front half of any cheap strapless bra into the dress. Instant built-in bra!

If you want to avoid showing too much of your neckline but find camisoles a bit bulky or uncomfortable, purchase one that you can simply clip on your bra to cover the bare neckline.

If you have a convertible bra and you want to wear it strapless, you can use the convertible straps to secure the bra in place and keep it from sliding down.

After a heavy workout, bring your sports bra with you into the shower so you can hand wash it. I do this at the gym everytime. Delicates should never be machine washed.

Since putting your delicates into a dryer is never advisable, you can use a clean salad spinner to dry them quickly. Sounds crazy? You should try it!

Instead of putting your bras in a drawer, you should hang them side-by-side on a single hanger to save space and to keep them from getting misshapen.

Test the fit of your bra by sliding your fingers between the bra band and the surface of your back. You can have someone help you out in the process. The rule of thumb is, if you can’t slide two fingers in, the band is too tight. If you can slide more than two fingers, it’s too loose.

If bra straps are digging painfully into your shoulders, use strap cushions.

Convert your old cotton bra into a lace trim bra by strategically sewing lace trims into the bra. Match the color of the thread to the color of the bra. A black thread will work with most dark-colored fabrics.

If you find that your bra is getting too tight for you even when the cup size is just right, use a bra extender to increase its band size.

Have yourself professionally fitted for a bra on a regular basis to keep up with your size more accurately. Basically just go into any bra store and pretend you're buying a bunch of bras in different sizes.

If you really have to machine-wash your bras, use a bra washing case to avoid tangling and deforming them.

Rotate between your bras to preserve their elasticity and shape. You should have at least six bras in your lingerie drawer/closet. Never wear the same bra consecutively.

Remove the removable pads or cookies from your push up bras before washing them. And restore the cups in their proper shape once they are clean. These cookies are a standard shape so if you preserve them, you can use them into your new bras after your current one wears out.

Wear a front-closure bra if you're wearing any lacey or crocheted clothing that might snag on the hook of a back-closure. Example: these bra sets

If you are not satisfied with the lift your pushup bra provides, try using small bra inserts known as cookies to add more lift. These eye-shaped pads come in standard foam material which is lighter, as well as in gel format that mimics the weight and feel of real breasts. You can also insert them into bikini/swimsuit cups for enhanced cleavage.
