Have we been putting our bras on wrong this whole time?
Putting on a bra is something most women do every day, and let’s face it, it’s not exactly rocket science. But according to the label on one Twitter user’s new bra, we may have been doing it wrong this whole time.
Activist and writer Brittany Packnett took to Twitter recently to share the instructions that came with her new bra, and if the response is anything to go by, a lot of women had no idea how to put it on properly.
“I’ve been putting on my bras wrong for 20 years,” she wrote alongside the photo. “You probably have, too.”
And it seems she was right.
“I thought it was supposed to be on middle hook for ideal fit,” one woman wrote. “Guess I’m a messed-up bra wearer too!”
Another clarified, explaining you should start on the loosest hook, “so you have room to go when it invariably stretches out”.
One bra expert offered another clever tip.
“Your bra band should be parallel to the floor all the way around. If it hikes up the back. The band size is too big.”
Well, there you have it!
Did these instructions come as a surprise to you or did you already know? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below.
