Um, yeah so question #2 of the morning is more of a problem: I love wearing tube tops and I love hooping in my tubes for about 40 seconds. After that, I am constantly doing the pull up shirt/bra thing. Do any of you hoopers with breasts hoop in tube tops and how do you keep them up?? Thanks! It is kind of early in the morning still... hope this isn't too much.

    i just wear a thin strapped tank top with a bra. honestly i can't imagine hooping in a tube top. if you looking for skin exposure i feel like a camisole tank is approx the same.

    what about that tape that they use to keep celebs from popping out of their skimpy evening wear. can you go with out a bra? i'd just band aid in case it was cold, and use that tape to hold the tube top in place. depending on if you're comfortable with the extra bounce, it would be less adjusting at least.

      i agree that if you get a tight lycra camisole which has a built in bra and thin straps, you will have exactly as much grip as with a tubetop, with way less stress. i know this can be hard if you are full busted, but you can even wear a comfortable strapless bra under the cami, or bling out black bra straps with stick on jewels and glitter paint for a performance

    double sided tape is a must for any strapless top while hooping. : ) There are multiple brands out there that are marketed for just that purpose. The tape may not work through long hoop sessions. Sweat will break down the adhesive in most cases and make it less likely to stick.

    Hell, double sided tape. Does wonders. Depending on how large the boobies are, it should be enough to keep the top on. I've done this with other performance type (dance, gymnastics, etc) and it works wonders. Depending on how sweaty you get, it may have to be reapplied but that isn't too hard. Most of em out now aren't expensive and hold up pretty damn well.

      you could try clear bra straps. I know they aren't the same, but you can buy them at pretty much any store now and they're really useful. Some of them even come with little jewel thing on the straps so it looks like body jewelry when you wear it. Good luck!
