StrapDoctor™ was invented by Paula
Fraser, who lives in rural Prince Edward Island, on Canada's east coast.

poor prices had to give most of it up. Today
wild blueberries are still grown and harvested.
Paula had some slipping bra straps that drove
her crazy and the farmer in her decided to fix the problem once and
for all.
Noticing the blue shelf liner material underneath the telephone in
her home office, she used that same grip concept to come up with a
solution. It wasn’t pretty, but it worked!
Curiosity led her to talk with her friends
about this problem and she found that over 50 % of women

surveyed were annoyed by slipping bra
straps, sparking the idea of a commercial venture.
Women’s reactions ranged from “What a great idea” to “I’ll be your first
customer”, to the most favorite one of all “Bless you!”
Perfecting StrapDoctor™ was a long
slow process but perseverance paid off as Paula eventually came up
with materials that worked. Thankfully, it’s also a much better
looking version than when it was a newborn.
StrapDoctor™ is now being
manufactured on

Paula and David’s farm, where they share
space with their 3 children, and a wide variety of livestock and
pets.
Innovation Acres Inc. is very proud to create employment through
StrapDoctor™ in a rural area. Thus, there are absolutely no plans to
move the manufacturing to either a city or another country.
The goal of Innovation Acres is to bring new products/inventions to
market that make life just a little bit easier.
