OK, this may be a dumb question, but I've never worn tank tops until this summer. My arms never looked good so I never wore them. Since I began working out with Cathe I've lost a lot of weight and I have recently completed a round of P90X and now I feel confident wearing them. Anyway, I've bought three tank tops, but don't wear them because I'm always worried about my bra strap showing. I keep readjusting my straps and then I don't feel comfortable wearing the top. What do you all wear? I wear a 36A bra, so my breasts are not very big. What do you guys suggest?
What kind of bra do I need?

not a dumb question at all! Unfortunately, I don't know...I'd have the same question myself. Although it might help people answer if you can tell how wide the shoulder straps on the tank tops are? I only wear tank tops that take up the whole shoulder area...just that the sleeve is cut off...becuase of that issue!

I have a bunch of bras from VS that come with regular straps and the clear straps that can be put on. Great for tank tops.

Have you tried a t-back or raceback bra? I wear Barely There and it works great with tanks. Below is a link just to show you what I'm talking about.

Three options:
There are strapless bras available, including those stick-on cups.
QVC sells something called "Hollywood Fahion Tape," two-sided tape strips that hold two pieces of fabric (like a bra strap and a tank top) or fabric and skin together.
Another option: buy some bras with cute straps and do what most teens and college students seem to do: let them show (I personally don't get it, and wouldn't do it intentionally!).

I think alot of us have gone through this. I tend to wear a bra with relavitely thin straps when I wear a tank - beige - if the straps show, so be it. If I am wearing dark tank tops, especially black, then I wear a black bra. This is of course for casual.
If I was wearing a "dressier" tank to a party, then I try to make sure the straps are covered or wear the clear type.
Good luck - as with anything, it's just a matter of finding what you are comfortable doing.
By the way I'm in my 40's not a college or high school student.

I just found these recently and have been thinking about ordering a set:
