Did you think there was only one way to put on a bra? Surprise! Technically there is no wrong way to put your bra on. However, there is a way that is easy on your bras (and surprisingly your body). Who doesn’t want to extend the life of their bra and maintain its maximum comfortability and performance. I encourage you to embrace the method that suits you best. After all, you are an adult and you can make your own choices. However, let's explore the pros and cons to make your experience even more delightful.
- Slip your arms through the straps.
- Bend forward at your waist. Gravity lends a helping hand here, aligning your breast tissue into the cups.
- Stand up and fasten on the loosest set of hooks behind your back. This step ensures proper support and longevity.
- Ensure the underwires are right up under your breast fold. Pull the rear of the band down in back so that it is at least parallel with the front, although a bit lower tends to work best.
- Adjust your breast tissue into the cups using the Swoop, Scoop, & Split technique.
Do a happy dance!
For those with limited shoulder mobility, arthritis or other physical limitations, bending forward might pose a challenge. Try securing the bra lower behind on your back without the straps on. Then make gentle adjustments to work the bra up to wear it should be before pulling the straps over your shoulders. Alternatively, enlist eager hands for a bonding moment and a helping hand in getting your day started.
