How does a Rixie Clip work?
Rixie Clip is a revolutionary, first-of-its-kind bra band tightener. To use Rixie Clip, simply slide it over your existing band, position it to your desired hold, and snap into place. The existing band lies flat underneath the Rixie Clip, meaning no permanent alterations to your garment whatsoever.
Is there a way to tighten a bra band?
To tighten your bra straps, hold the adjuster in one hand and use your other hand to hold your bra steady. This makes it easier to move the adjustment piece. Begin sliding the adjuster away from the bra band and up toward your shoulders. The closer the bra adjuster is to your bra cup, the tighter the strap will be.
What do you do when your bra band is too big?
Your band is too large. Try hooking your bra on a tighter setting and loosening the straps. If this doesn’t work, your band size is too big and you need to buy a smaller band size (example: from a 36C to a 34D – when you go down a band size, you need to go up a cup size to maintain the same cup volume).
How do I know if my bra band is too big?
Try a bra with a bigger cup size. The back is pulled up. If the back of your bra rides up and is no longer a straight line, the band size is too big and you have shortened the shoulder straps too much so they alone lift the breasts.

Proper cup fit is influenced by band size. As the band size changes, so does the cup size. For every band size you go down, you should go up one cup. If you are in a 34D with a good cup fit, but want to go down to a 32 band, you would go to a 32DD for a tighter band with the same cup fit.
