If you are a person with boobs then you have the privilege to wear the best damn piece of clothing ever created: the bra.
Just kidding; we all know it's secretly a torture device.
Which is probably why questions of fit and style always cause such hot debates online.
Usually, you either figure it out yourself or do it the way your mom or older sister showed you when you graduated from training bras to the real thing.
Of course, "knowledgeable sizing expert" doesn't include the underpaid teenager with a measuring tape employed at most mall bra stores.
Which is probably why this fairly straightforward question posted by @nakaimosu on Twitter, got so many responses.
The image featured is from a 2015 BuzzFeed article about the "correct" way to put on a bra.
But @nakaimosu's question got a few surprising responses too.
It was how I was first shown to do it and it seemed simpler to be able to see the clasps and then twist the bra around afterwards.
But since I have an abundance of boobs, buying bras is expensive — $50 is a bargain for my size — and front-clasping can cause your bras to wear out faster.
This particular debate ignores the importance of the second step of the process: the "bend and scoop."
Basically, once the bra is on, you bend forward and use your hands to scoop all the breast tissue from around the sides into the cups. I learned this from the subreddit r/abrathatfits and it seriously changed my comfort for the better.
But I think we can all agree that pulling one up like a pair of pants is just weird and only an option for super skinny people.
However you put it on, can we all at least agree on the sheer joy of taking it off again?
Fun fact: the first time I took off my bra without removing my shirt in front of my boyfriend, it blew his mind. Clearly, I was a witch.
