The True Tale Behind a Tube Bra

What’s a Tube Bra?

A tube bra is a strapless strip of stretchy fabric with a thick band on top and bottom for better hold. A tube bra is often called a bandeau bra. It is similar to a strapless bra but does not have any closure. A tube bra or a bandeau bra is an easy-to-wear slip-on bra. They usually come with removable pads.

Pros of Tube Bras
