Bra Rings, Hooks and Strap Sliders for Lingerie and Swimwear
Bra rings, hooks and strap adjustment buckles are functional components that determine how a strap connects, adjusts and fastens. They are widely used in bras, bikinis, swimwear, corsets, bustiers, garters, robes and made-to-order textile designs with adjustable straps.
When a ring, hook and slider are used on the same strap line, the measurement, finish and intended application should be considered together. Compatible components help the strap move correctly, reduce slipping and create a more coordinated finished appearance.

Nylon-Coated Bra Hardware: Metal Core with a Protective Outer Finish
Nylon-coated bra rings, hooks and strap sliders are not plain plastic accessories. Their supporting structure is metal, while the visible outer surface is finished with nylon. This construction preserves the stability of the metal component while creating a smoother and more protected external surface.
The nylon finish can be particularly useful for swimwear, bikinis and textile products exposed to more frequent moisture. It provides improved resistance to saltwater exposure, humidity and corrosion effects. Final performance depends on factors such as coating thickness, product construction, duration of exposure and the intended conditions of use.
White and Black Nylon-Coated Components
White nylon-coated rings, hooks and strap sliders can be dyed to a requested Pantone shade or an approved colour sample. This option is useful for manufacturers who need to match the hardware with a swimwear fabric, a brand colour or a seasonal collection palette.
Black nylon-coated components are processed with a black finish and can be selected directly for black straps, black elastic and dark-coloured lingerie designs. For custom production, the colour sample, finish type and intended application should be confirmed before manufacturing.
Zamak Bra Hardware and Special Plating Options
Zamak bra hardware offers a more defined metal appearance, smooth surface detail and decorative design potential. Rings, hooks and strap sliders can be produced in zamak with a finish selected to suit the garment collection or other hardware used on the product.
Special plating options can also be specified for zamak components when increased surface protection against saltwater exposure, humidity and corrosion is required. The plating choice should reflect the actual application, such as everyday lingerie, corsetry, decorative fashion hardware or swimwear. Sample approval and performance evaluation are recommended for marine or regular saltwater use.
How to Select the Correct Strap Hardware Size
The key measurement is the finished width of the elastic strap or woven tape that passes through the ring, hook or slider. The strap should move through the component during adjustment without becoming loose enough to slip during normal wear. Components used on the same strap system should use compatible measurements.
| Measurement | Typical Application |
|---|
| 6 mm / 1/4 in | Fine lingerie straps and delicate textile accessories |
| 8 mm / 5/16 in | Lightweight bras, swimwear and slim straps |
| 10 mm / 3/8 in | Standard bra straps, lingerie and swimwear production |
| 12 mm / 1/2 in | Wider bra, bikini and bustier strap systems |
| 15 mm / 5/8 in | Corsets, sports bras and stronger strap constructions |
| 18–20 mm / 3/4–7/8 in | Wider corsets, robes, swimwear connections and specialised textile applications |
20 mm Peignoir Hooks and Colour Options
Peignoir hooks are available in different sizes for robe, lingerie and garment fastening applications. The 20 mm / 0.79 in size is among the most frequently selected options where a wider elastic or woven tape connection is required.
The 20 mm peignoir hooks on the product page are offered in three colour options. Additional plating colours can also be produced for special projects, subject to the required quantity, selected finish, approved colour reference and intended application.
