Poll-do you fasten your bra in front or back?

Yep! I have HUGE boobs so I have to clasp and then turn.

Ok, tell me how a 30 inch chest isn't tiny. Because as a 95 lb teen, I had a 32 inch chest. I was one of the smallest girls in my class.

When I wear my bra on my head I clasp it under my chin.

Fasten in the front around the waist, turn around the waist, put arms through and lean forward and scoop breasts up. I can fasten in the back but it is awkward and then my boobs are less "up." With my method they get scooped up and sit higher.

I'm the 32L and I'm actually quite overweight - just have a small band size. The band size is your measurement right beneath (or above, seems to depend othe brand) your breasts. The cup size is the difference between your band size and the circumference around your chest at the fullest point, so 1" difference=A, 2"=B.

Ok, we all know how bra sizes are determined.

Are you oddly proportioned? A super overweight person with a 32 inch ribcage sounds ... Off.

I have DDD boobs and always fasten in the back

This! Are all you women wearing the wrong bra size?!

if your bra is so tight that it's completely immobile, then it's just way too tight and you need to go up a size. It shouldn't be THAT tight.

It shouldn't be so loose that you can spin it around! If you have large breasts, the band is what supports you and takes the weight. If you're able to move it around, then it's loose and the straps are doing a lot of the lifting. That would kill my shoulders.

I just fasten in the back and then reach into each cup and scoop the breast up. It's a lot less work than what you're doing.

What does boob size have to do with fastening in the back?? I have huge boobs too. The only way I could fasten in the front is if I were looking at a mirror, because I certainly couldn't find the hooks under the boobs.

It took me much longer, mostly because the clasps were not aligning properly- the top hook kept latching on the bottom latch. This didn't seem like a dexterity problem, as the hooks were latching, just not correctly. Is this an issue that goes away with practice, or is there some trick to making sure they lign up correctly, or does it just often take you back-fasteners a couple tries to get it right?

FWIW I'm 34C and the bra only had 2 hooks, so nothing too complicated.

Probably practice? I have 4-5 hooks, and I just line them up by feel. I've been fastening from the back for at least 25 years though.

I don't unclasp my bra. I just pull it on over my head, almost like a shirt. I wasn't aware this is rare but seeing as how nobody else mentioned it, I guess it is.

I do this, too. I don't think I ever really learned how to put a bra on. I remember when I started wearing them this is how my mom taught me (to clasp while it's around you) but I never got the hang of it, so I put it over my head, too.

Your bras are way, way too big for you if you can do this. How can they possibly provide support?

+1. If you can pull your bra over your head you might as well not be wearing one. It's not providing you with any support.

+2. Please get a professional fitting, OP.
