Stepping into it is a good idea if you're not pear shaped.

This is a discussion I had with my teenage daughter. Apparently because today's teens start out with a sports bra, they get used to putting it on over their head. When they make the switch to a regular bra with hooks, they leave the hooks closed and put it on the same way. I wanted to show her that the majority do as I do, close it in back. However I see that plenty of people hook it in front and turn it around. I guess its whatever you get used to.



oh, that happened to me. sorry for thinking u were a troll... but now I do it the right way, cuz my mom asked why all my bras were getting ruined and then she showed me the right way :-)


So what do I do if she doesn't wanna listen? Thought the poll would help, but she says, leave me alone!
How do they get ruined?

LOL Awww c'mon now don't tell me you really believe that. Don't everyone's get saggy with age?
How come you still listening to your mom and mine does not want to listen to me while she is still living with me!

Of course I believed her!! I was in 7th or 8th grade... now I'm so used to doing it "the right way" that I can't even imagine pulling it over my head... to this day I'm super cautious about my bras... I'm now in my 20s and had plenty of fights with my mom as a teen - didn't speak to her for months once, but I'm still worried a/b getting saggy b**bs... (aren't all women worried about that?)

What about stepping into it with your feet and then pulling it up?

What about when my lady in waiting holds it open for me and I step into it?

What about when I place the bra on my bed and fall into it in one swoop motion?

I feel like there are many options missing from this very informative poll.


thats the one, lol.

I always pull it over my head. It's fastest and I hardly ever wear bras with underwires so it doesn't poke while I put it on. I imagine pulling on a bra with underwires over your head would be uncomfortable.

Fasten in the front, then turn it around.

If I remember to wear one. In the winter I often forget.

Kind of an embarrassing topic to have in a public forum... maybe move to, I don't know, emotional health? Smile or something!

That's almost like cheating *gasp*!!!

LOL from all of the posts.

Not that funny, not that personal, it's something we all do, most of the time.

Unless there are some people that sleep in them too and never have to change them?

Especially those that only shower once a month or less, they can change them only a couple of times a year.

I'm literally in tears form this one.
yes, this poll is super informative, to say the least.

to the OP - about how to change your teen - answer: you can't. lost cause. say your blessings that it's only bras and keep buying her more as they're needed.

I have to say thank you to the OP and other posters. At this time of year I'm extremely grateful for threads that can make me laugh.

Until a recent comment on this forum it never occurred to me that anyone would put on a bra any other way. I've always closed it in the front and then turned it around. Do people really manage to close it in the back?!

in a word - yes. I never thought to put it on any differently and I don't even consider myself to be highly coordinated.

but then again, years ago most dresses closed in the back as well.

Thats another poll altogether. If I had a front closing bra, I would probably put it on backwards so that I close it in the back, then turn it around. After all, I only close mine from the back!

When I was getting my first bras, I got a sports bra and a hooks bra. I was taught that they are different, and they are put on differently.

Sports bras went over the head like an undershirt, while the bra with hooks was hooked in the back.

For a long time, I always hooked in the back, although it was difficult at times.

One time when I was shopping and getting fitted for a bra in a different store, the saleslady showed me that it should be hooked in the front, then turn it around and pick it up. I felt like I was being taught a trade secret, making it so much easier. Now, I don't know if I could hook it in the back even if I tried. I've gained a lot of weight since then.

I think the best way to teach your daughter, is that next time she needs to buy a bra, go to a store where the saleslady gets it fitted and also shows her how to put it on.

I felt that the saleslady was the expert- just like she is an expert in what fits me exactly right, she also knows how to put it on properly- they usually adjust the straps to my shoulders etc.
