Another bra thread - the Wonderbra strapless grabby-hand thing

[Amethyst24]

So I tired this on today in John Lewis. I'm a 30E normally, so I tried the 30E and then when it didn't fit that well, the 30F. I'm totally on side with the idea that backs must be tight, and I think the 30 back was right for me - it definitely would have been a good fit on the loosest hook, and allowing for stretching, good long-term.

But I find it impossible to do up bras with three hooks behind my back, and the sticky silicone bands make it really hard to get these bras into the right place if you do them up in the front and try to swivel them round, especially once you get hot.

If DP was always going to be around to do them up for me, I'd go for the 30 band, but what if he dumps me for someone with smaller boobs I am getting dressed alone?

Is there a secret way of getting these bastards fastened? Or should I go for a 32" back?

This post made me laugh. I too am of the big booby variety. Trust me... Your hubby will never dump you for someone with small boobs .

I have never had luck with strapless bras. 34gg here. They fold over and I fall out.. I went out in a plastic boned corset once... Felt the bones give way and ran home.

I have the wonderbra and it's one of the very rare bras where I sized up to a 32. Still works very well, far better than any other strapless.

I know lots of people who have had to go up a back sizein it

Ha! Thanks all, will attempt a 32.

Yep, agree with Stats, I had to size up to a 32 too.

The band is indeed mighty tight, but those grabby hands do their job very well!
