BRAS!!!!!!

· 🌡️ 84°F

A friend of mine and I are having a debate/discussion/fight.

Ladies, how do you put on your bras?

I realize that there are a variety of ways and I'm trying to prove the point that the way I do it is not crazy or unusual.

Thanks for your input.

    sooo tempting to say that i use the same theory with bras as pants (you know, one leg at a time), one boob at a time, but that wouldn't be productive, now would it?

    I was recently fitted and the way i was shown is the same way i have always done it. Adjust the straps to the length they should be (they tend to move when washed), attach the hooks while at the front, spin the bra with the cups to the front, put one arm through the arm holes, then the other and lean forward to position your boobs in just the right place inside the cup.

    Is that a weird way?

    I do the upside down backwards method. Does that make sense?

    I just put it on forward & reach around & clasp. Although I remember my mother teaching me leetee's method when I got my first bra. That just seems too much work to me. I like it to be snug around the back, and that makes it hard to spin it around.

    Does anyone else have a weird size issue? I'm a 34 C (sometimes D, depending on style) & all the 34's are A's or B's & all the C's are 36 or more...ugh! When I find a 34 C I have to buy at least 2...

    haha, I started out putting it on by hooking in the front then spinning around... But now that I'm a big girl I've figured out how to hook the hooks behind my back so I just put my arms in the straps and reach behind.

    man I hope this wins you a bet or something, b/c I certainly never thought I'd be discussing my bra-habits online!

    hook it together in the front, then turn it over and around the right way. this question reminded me of the polls you used to do freshman year of college... I miss them, and you :)

    I don't usually wear a bra but when I do I put it on my head and dance around the house naked singing the Oompa-Loompa song.

    @jenks, being a big girl is WHY i need to put on my bra the way i do! ha ha ha!!

    e:iresara -- buying bras is like torture for me. And even when they have my size, which they often don't, it never fits the way other ones in my size fit, and i am always need to bring 4 of the same style into the changing room. Even if i find one that fits, my guess is it will be pinching or pulling or digging in somewhere by the end of a long day!

    That is why I hate bras with clasps.

    A lot of times I just put it on over my head with the clasps already done.
