Oh no's I've been doing it wrong for years....

I work for JL as a lingerie advisor and it is common knowledge that the Bra experts over there live in their own world
That is sooo patronising lol, what next, how to put on your tights?

Bugger... all these years and I've been doing it wrong.. no wonder I had two lumps on me back..

Well I kinda knew that! You seem to get your undies drawer and the fridge muddled up for starters!

I hate bras! But as a 38DD-40? I deffo need one!

I usually go for smooth, skin tone colour - boring but functional (always M & S).

Oh OK, now lets see someone doing it on their own Maybe she could come and adjust my straps each morning

I have always known that the fasteners go at the back and the pockety parts go over my lady lumps.

Hiya Queenie!! I was only thinking about you today!
How's lil foot? your time is getting close now.. how are ya?

Ahh why? They're good, but you should try somewhere else and get some variety , you would be a different size though as M&S use the imperial system to fit you while all other manufacturers use the metric system .

Maybe I'm missing something here cos I'm a bloke. But, why do they put fasteners on the back? Would it not be easier for you if the put the fastener on the front in between the cups?

Does the woman come with it to help you get dressed every morning?

I can't wear underwired bras as I have fibromyalgia and the wires hurt my rib area.

Some do, but if the fasteners are at the back you can have an adjustable fit.

I have checked purely for research purposes


Ive only been interested in how to get em off esp the sneaky one hand manoeuvre

Am I the only one who fastens them at the front then swivels them around?....

Because they make them like a test in the Krypton Factor. The manufacturers must think "Why use one hook which would be easy when we can use 43"

It was quite a talent... bit annoying though when sometimes, say in a supermarket queue, I'd be thinking I was getting a little hug or a caring stroke of the back.. and next thing you know he's wetting himself laughing and my puppies are trying to bolt.

I assume you mean the bra swivels round?
I do this too as did my mother before me - it's just easier, isn't it?

Lol, it is and I will. I'll start a thread in the next week or so, so people can guess the date, sex, weight etc.
