Are bra strap bracelets a 'thing'

DS is 15 in year 10. He's had a girlfriend for a couple of months who's the same age. She's made him a bracelet out of a bra strap which he's proudly wearing.

Is this a trend? I dont know if its appropriate really. Would love to hear everyone's opinions.

Wow. I have no idea, but I’m constantly amazed by teens. I dread to think what they will do next.

We had shag bands in the 90s. Just as long as the GF isn't walking around half unsupported and isn't cutting up brand new bras I can't see the issue. It's not something dh would want though!

Sounds like normal teenagers to me!

🤣

I might make one for DH out of my faded, grey bra-it'd wrap around his wrist at least 10 times!

Good to hear!

I didn't even know DS talked to girls until 2 months ago so this is new parenting territory!

I will! I'll try and get a photo of him wearing it at some point.

You can buy bra straps now with loads of jewels/diamonds on. Is it one of these?

I dont know what would be worse but no, this is her actual bra strap, looks like she's sewn it herself. Must be love.

Even better, take a photo of him with it lovingly wrapped around his wrist 😂

So funny.

I saw someone the other day wearing what looked like a bra strap on their wrist. Not sure if definitely was but it certainly looked liked it.

Mine would all look like tatty bits of strap 😂

Just had to look this up. Seems it's a craze on Tik Tok. Whatever next! 🤣

I've heard of the girls giving the boys a hairband to wear but not a bra strap!

SpacePotato · 11/10/2023 20:34

What's the point of this new daft craze?

Is it the girlfriend marking her territory and claiming her man, or the boy getting proof he's been kopping a feel of real life boobs?

So glad I was a teen pre internet and camera phones.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 12/10/2023 08:35

I must tell DH he has to wear one of my thick reinforced bra straps.

What happened to friendship bracelets? Whatever next, a thong bracelet?

Brilliant Grin god I love teens. Mine are just coming into this age, I remember fondly the daft things I did as a teen

SherbetLemonn · 12/10/2023 10:27

Teenagers are such little weirdos, I love it 😂

Stephisaur · 12/10/2023 11:48

That is the weirdest, best thing I've ever read 😂

Middle school teacher here. I was told by my students it is given to the person who they went to “2nd base” with.

As long it's just his wrist he's wearing it on...
