Bra accessories

Bra extender

Bra extendersBra extenders are a great way to get a longer life out of bras that have become too tight through the band. You get them as 1, 2, 3 or 4 hook options to fit different bras. They usually come in black, white and beige to blend in with the most common bra colours. To use them simply attach it to one end of the back fastening on your bra then put it on and do it up as normal.
Bra insertsBra inserts are also known as cookies or bra padding. Silicone ones are sometimes called chicken fillets due to their resemblance to them. Often they are promoted as a non-surgical option to increase your bra size. As well as giving you the appearance of larger breasts they can be worn with a push-up bra to increase cleavage.



Bra strap connector / holder

Bra strap holderYou will find these with a variety of names, bra strap converter, bra strap connector and bra strap holder are the most common. They can be worn in the back or front of the bra to hold the straps together.

They are similar to a racer back clip in use. They can stop straps slipping off your shoulders and pull straps out of the way for clothing where they would normally show. They aren’t as easy to find in stores, you can get them online on websites like http://shyaway.com/ but they aren’t as common as racer back clips. But you can make your quite easily, see below for instructions.

The top ones are silicone and reusable, the bottom ones are disposable. Photo source: Bye BraNipple covers are also known as petals. They are used to hide the shape of nipples and give breasts a smooth line under clothing. They have adhesive on them to stay on and can be one-use disposable or washable and reusable.
They are generally worn when you are unable to wear a bra but can also be worn with one if you need the extra coverage. Using a foam lined contour bra is another way to conceal the shape of nipples.

Silicone stick-on braThe most common type of stick-on bra is made of silicone but there are ones that look almost the same as the silicone one pictured but are made of foam. You can also get fabric ones that look more like a normal strapless bra that has had the back cut off. They usually have adhesive on the side wings to hold them on.
