The first layer is a soft cushion material and contacts the skin of a wearer. The second layer is made of a material having a high degree of rigidity that may be heated to conform to the shoulder of a wearer and provides a bearing surface for the strap. The third layer is releasably attached to the second layer and overlays the second layer. The brassiere strap is sandwiched between the second and third layers are securely held therebetween. The second embodiment of the shoulder protector eliminates the third layer and instead a tongue is provided in the second layer under which the brassiere strap is securely held.
