A TikToker has shared a genius hack for those of us who need more support out of our bras.
*listens intently*
If you're working with a more generous cup size, you might know the struggle when it comes to wearing flimsier styles like bralettes.
Digital creator Darcie Ratcliff from the UK posted a video on TikTok last week, explaining her tip for women with "slightly larger" boobs who want to wear a bra with no underwire or padding.
And it's surprisingly simple.
"Right now, my boobs are... feeling a little bit droopy," she says in the video, which has over 9,000 likes.
Taking scissors, Ratcliff then cuts the straps off at the back of a "normal bra", allowing them to be tied in a halter top.
"[Now] you basically have a halter neck top so you can hoist your boobs together," she explains.

It's a little drastic, yes - but so effective.
For those who aren't fans of a halter top, model Ashley Graham has our backs, literally, with this clever hack inspired by plus-size swimwear expert, Allison Kimmey.
Kimmey came up with the idea to turn a halter string bikini top into a comfier option by tying the two strings at the top of a bikini to the ones running horizontally across her back.
Graham tried it out on her Instagram stories, and not only does it look cute, but most importantly, it evenly distributes pressure on the shoulders and back so you don’t have that painful digging feeling weighing on your neck.

I’m a DD. I just tuck my bra straps into the band under my armpits. Works well enough.
Worst suggestion ever. Anyone with a curvy figure knows that the trick is going a band size up and cup size down. That way you're getting the traction that you need to keep things together up front without cutting off your circulation around your body. I don't mind packing the girls in a little tighter but can't stand it when a bra band or strap is cutting into me.
