Advice needed for 50 year old scoliosis patient

Posted , 4 users are following.

I am 50 and have had scoliosis since developing it at 16. It is very severe though I cope with it. One of the most frustrating parts of daily life is dealing with bras. I have decided that it is time to invest in a bra that the shoulder straps don't fall down off my right shoulder which is the protruding one. Does anyone have any advice or know of a great brand . I have heard of U backed bras but haven't tried one. I used to have an elastisised joining strip that I pulled the two straps at the back together with but was so fiddly to get into and manage that I gave up. I am wanting to invest in a bra that I don't have to alter and fiddle with all the time. Can anyone help???? Looking to find someone that knows what I am going through and experiences also so I can get some real direction in solving this very frustrating annoyance. Thanks  in advance, Verity

    Victora Secret has an amazing bra that is in a V-back, no underwires and so very comfortable.

    I don't have this problem, but I do use racerback bras when I work out so they don't slip:

    I have this problem too with bra straps slipping off my shoulder. I use front fastening bras with a racer bac from VS. Or a comfort cropped bra top, no fastenings, wide straps from Asda (UK). I was told I had scoliosis 2 years ago after suffering extreme back and shoulder pain. I'm 57.
