They are good for looks, but some make a person perspire because of the clear rubber. They are very, very popular. My biggest thing is women should have options. With some bras you can get regular elastic straps then remove those and replace them with the clear straps. In this way, you can use whatever you feel comfortable in. Today's straps are very stylish. Most of the bras have very special straps so that you can wear and show the off. You can have clear straps with a rose on it with some have bows on them. You can have elastic straps that are all decorated. There is a quite bit of that. It adds 100% percent to any fashionable outfit.
