Anyone else who uses suspenders have this problem? A belt doesn't work for me.
I've tried to keep the strap from slipping off my shoulder with an adhesive material attachment - not effective. Adhesive quite poor. Getting VERY tired of moving it back to shoulder so often. Oddly, only one shoulder (left) has this problem.
Suggestions?
TIA
Do you have tiny shoulders like a woman? Is that the problem?

I don't think so. Hard to judge. No one convenient to compare to.
Also, as I said, problem is only with one shoulder.
I see. So you are built like a circus freak?
Sew on an epaulette on your shirt and run the suspender through it? Or just buy shirts with epaulettes? Sounds like one shoulder slopes more than the other?
Don't make fun of sloping shoulders :
What sort of suspenders are you using particularly at the back? There are two major types: one has two clip attachments to the belt area of the trousers and the other has one. Although I tried the "one" type once I didn't like it because of a lack of balance particularly when adjusting the length of the front straps. It may be your problem too.
I buy my suspenders on line at the "Suspender Store" in Maryland. I have about 15 in different colors mainly to match my shirt color and another 10 "underwear" suspenders in whitish-beige to wear with shorts where the shirt is worn outside. All excellent.
The Suspender Store sells nothing else and is very friendly. I even drafted a suggested text on how to clean them which I noticed they later put up on their website (with some minor changes).
Safety pin? Glues a piece of Velcro. Probably one half would be enough to grab a shirt.

I wear suspenders with my "tuxedo" Band Uniform, and occasionally have the same problem.
My suspenders cross in the back. One pair has the cross sewn, another is adjustable. I think it would help if the crossing point were raised.
I wonder if it would help to wear suspenders backwards, with the cross in front?

Thanks. I'll take a look at their site. I wasn't aware of them. I've heard 'H' type suspenders have less of this problem because the straps are held close to one's neck. Haven't found a source for them.

My computer bag doesn't stay on my shoulder. It's got a lot of accessories and is pretty heavy.
I thought having a clavicle enhancement, but I couldn't find a doctor willing to do it.
