How do you put on your bra? (sorta GTKY, sorta just weird)

ifwisheswerefishes · December 2014

While in a dressing room with a friend (she had to unzip the back of my dress), I put my bra back on. She stared at me like I had two heads. Apparently I am weird for the way I put my bra on: turn it around, lay it flat against my stomach, fasten it, spin it around and pull it up/put straps over shoulder. I have been putting on a bra this way since I was twelve.

Seriously, is it that weird?

c-elizabethf · December 2014

I honestly do it the same way you do lol. So if that's weird then I'm weird.

ETA: I do under the boobs too instead of stomach

RWPhoenix · December 2014

That's the way I do it. So I guess we are both weird.

ifwisheswerefishes · December 2014

I knew it couldn't be that weird! I had super short arms so fastening in the back is just not an option with my massive boobs.

That is EXACTLY how I do it.

ahsile10 · December 2014

Judging by this, I think you need to tell your friend she is the weird one. LOL

AllieVB89 · December 2014

LOL I do the same thing as you. Just tell your friend the storybook birds that dress you took the day off

LadyAnnibal · December 2014

I put my bra on just like that. It's impossiblr any other way. I'm 4ft 10 with D cups, there's no way I could reach my arms back there.

Kbow91 · December 2014

the same exact way. I have never been able to fasten it with my arms behind my back

AngelaPlus3 · December 2014

We actually just had this exact poll on my old BMB. The results were very split. So I think both ways are pretty normal.

abcdefghijk12345678 · December 2014

I bend over at the waist, let my boobs fall into the cups, and fasten the bra in the back. After it's fastened, I "scoop and swoop" to collect any breast tissue that didn't make its way into the cups.

WafflesFriendsWork · December 2014

You'd have to be a wizard to fasten it behind you.

sutavim2 · December 2014

I fasten in the front then turn it around. Trying to figure it out behind me is waaayyy too much work haha

hjhmomma · December 2014

I put it on the way it is worn then reach around and fasten it behind me... and i am busty

My mom does it the way you do it so you aren't weird lol... to each their own!

JennyJensing · December 2014

Another vote for putting it on the way it's supposed to go on and fastening it behind my back.

intensivepurposes · December 2014

Oo I do it weird!! Different weird though. I put my arms through the straps and boobs vaguely in the cups then pull the fastener parts around to my front and buckle the first clasp, then unfasten it so my hands are in the perfect position to refasten it behind my back. This is difficult to explain but trust me it is awesome.

oneblessedmess · December 2014

I do it the way OP does it. You ladies who fasten it at the back must be way more flexible than I am! Or have longer arms lol.

inLOVEalready715 · December 2014

Im no hero, I put my bra on one boob at a time!

no seriously though, I put in on with the cups in the front, fasten in the back , and then i give myself a tuck and a fondle to make sure I'm all in. I have definitely heard of people fastening in the front, its not weird at all.

FSUNole31 · December 2014

I fasten in the back.

SepiaMoon · December 2014

Uhh I have a 3rd approach. I faster it BEFORE I put it on and then pull it on like a Tshirt.

puppygurl21 · December 2014

I also fasten it at the front and spin it around. Plus, I was told it's better for your joints that way!

Yes. Yes. You are a freak. Unless you are part T-Rex, I judge you for not fastening behind your back.

I have never thought to try this!! I fasten at the front then spin it around

It probably stretches it out more than the other way, but that's what I've been doing forever!

wineandcake · December 2014

I fasten it behind my back, but around my waist then pull it up, put arms through.

jlbaker08 · December 2014

I have my straps crossed in the back for extra support, so I put it over my head and arms through the proper strap then fasten in the back. I'm rather busty as well

ewdean · December 2014

Front fasten for me too. That's the way my mom does it and I think I remember the first time I saw one of my friends fasten in the back and I had never seen anything like it before!

iteachkids81 · December 2014

I do it the same as @SepiaMoon‌ fasten it and put it over my head my like a shirt. Then I adjust my boobs.

Bodoni · December 2014

The normal way. boobs - arms - fasten in back. That is until I get super pregnant and switch to the over the head comfortable nursing bras.

jekasi · December 2014

I've never heard of or seen anyone doing what you describe, so I probably would have side-eyed you too! I do the normal boobs, arms, fasten in back as they were intended. I never really thought about it but it does take some degree of flexibility I guess!

foodie12rn · December 2014

I have long gorilla arms and I STILL fasten it under my boobs and spin it around afterwards.

Mind = blown.

ashiscute · December 2014

I sort of wish we could find a way to time this and see what's best. I've always fastened in front. It never occurred to me that there were so many options.

If you can successfully put your bra on this way, I am 99% certain you are wearing the wrong band size. A properly fitting bra band will NOT be loose enough to do this.

ewdean · December 2014

I have a follow up question....do you take it off the same way you put it on? Even though I'm in the fasten-in-front camp for putting it on. I reach around the back to undo it and slide it off my arms.

That is what I do. No spinning and monkey business lol.

JerseyML · December 2014

I have long arms so I put my arms through the straps, then I lay it across the top of my chest, fasten the back then pull it down over my boobs. Then I scoop them up for extra cleavage.

My husband actually finds this process fascinating. He doesn't get the adjusting afterwards but I tell him, he adjusts for comfort so its kinda the same thing.

ifwisheswerefishes · December 2014

I'm 5'0 with super short arms and massive boobs. The behind the back approach isn't happening, ya'll.

Maybe so. I've never been fitted. I'm barely a B-cup until my recent preggers growth spurt. My small(er) boobs may have something to do with this method working.

@SepiaMoon‌ You can do your own fitting at home! All you need is a measuring tape and this bra size calculator: https://www.brasizecalculator.tk/home.html
