yeah.

so, I grabbed one of my EXTREMELY rare two-hook bras and tried to put it on by hooking the back.

First, you have to get the boobs into the cups. With the back unfastened, so they kept flopping out. Now, maybe (probably) my boobs are floppier than most, but that was a whole lot of no fun. Then, getting the back clasped. Get one hook hooked, try to hook the other one, get it, but unhook #1 in the process. Over and over and over again. FINALLY get them both hooked and I STILL have to bend over and jiggle them into place.

Took much longer, was much more uncomfortable.


...the things I do for this message board continue to amaze me.

Try bending over in the first place. Then boobs shouldn't be flippy-floppin' all over the place. Lower boobs into cups, reach back and clasp as you stand up, then bend over against to adjust if needed.

This is exactly what I do. The big boobs are key, because they hold the cups before I'm hooked.

I wasn't aware people fastened in the front and then turned it around. Of course, I have tiny boobs. Maybe that's part of it.

You know what's great about black bras? They never get dirty.

I wear a 38G.

How is it bad for the material? Just curious because I fasten it and turn it at my waist, so it's very loose.

I really struggle to fasten in the back, so I do front. I can usually unfasten in the back unless the hook gets caught on a thread or something.

I am impressed at the passion inspired by a bra fastening poll. Nice Friday afternoon work, CEP.

[omgzombies]

At home, front and slide all the way baby! I'm lazy, and fairly inept.

At the gym, spa, or dressing anywhere around people who might judge me, I fumble around and fasten in back, cursing their judging eyes the whole time.

[greeneggs]

34F and I fasten in the back then bend over at the waist to shove anything that squishes into the cups. I'm breaking in my new Freyas and the bands are so tight there's no way I could slide it around easily.

[itsme]

Fasten in the back. I don't bend over or anything but sometimes I adjust them to sit right in the bra. 36D formerly DD

See I find fastening in the front means that my boobs can't be properly positioned in the bra, plus it stretches out the bra pretty quickly. My bras are like $70, I need these things to last! I can't think of a bra I have had with less than three hooks in the last ten years.

This part I don't get. I fasten in the front, slide around the the back, then each boob get put into its allotted cup. Easy peasy. I do not think I could fasten around back if my life depended on it. Shoulders, man. Mine don't bend that way!
I also don't wear $70 bras, so that might make a difference, too. Hanes "Almost-A" cups here.

Good point! The longer you wear them, the stronger they get!

The back.

For shits and giggles, I'm going to try this fasten in the back thing tomorrow. But not with my sports bra.

[anastasia517]

By stretching the band a bit and pulling back it's easy to get the hooks on properly. I say this as somebody with short arms and big breasts. Although perhaps the small band size helps with this?

And, for the record, my mum was a front clasper but I do it in the back. The fact that I learned how to do this while wearing a 32 band when I should have been in a less-than-28 in my early teens may help, since I had a lot of give to get the motion practiced.

[EnchantedSoul]

In the front, then swing to the back. These hangly dangly nursing boobs will need to get the "swoop n scoop" soon enough!

I save my passion for the truly important things in life. Just doing the Lord's work.

[ksun]

I actually fasten it on the side and then move it back.

Right?  I'm a 36C (as far as I know, I've never been fitted).

I fasten in the front, spin, plump up and go. All this sounds really complicated and makes me feel like I missed a day in health class.

If you were supposed to fasten in the front, why wouldn't they just sell more front-clasp bras?

I bought one today! A calvin klein convertible. Plus no underwire But I know I'm very lucky to do that.

This is a timely thread as I went to Jockey today for their bralettes. They're so comfortable! Again, I know I'm lucky to be able to use those as my every day.

Anyway, that aside, the woman took me for a fitting of what they call semi-custom bras.

She had me scoop and swoop! fuckstick Also, they size based on volume, not some circumference measurement. And the band size isn't different based on cup size, so it's easier to understand. Unfortunately, they didn't fit me as I'm at the very small end of their scale, but I really liked the feel and price (about $40).

I just thought I'd mention it because I don't know how many people have thought of them before.

Maybe this is something that happens in the world of the well-endowed lol.

I linked the source several posts ago.

Thanks, I did miss it. She is talking about people who only have 3-5 bras, though.

Which tends to be most people especially if they're paying $70+ each for them. (Hell even at $30 or $40, that's a lot of money to spend on bras.)

Girl, get fitted. I just did like 3 weeks ago. LIFE-CHANGING!!!

[Velar Fricative]

I have always fastened in the back. I had no idea that made me practically an Olympic gymnast! Watch out, Gabby Douglas.

Also, yes, get fitted. I was wearing the wrong size forever.

In the back, but it sure got easier after my reduction.

You might not see the dirt the way you would a white bra, but it's dirty. LOL

No, it's not. Black bras repel dirt. Everyone knows this.

You're just looking kind of dumb now.
