It has a clip at the back and the normal fastener. How do you fasten the clip? Help!

It's a workout in itself an overhead struggle I'm afraid - gets a bit easier with practice - great bra though Smile

Ahhhh overhead!
That will be fun!
It's brilliant even without the clip of despair.

Ive just got the front fastening shock absorber bra. Taking it on a test run tomorrow!

Overhead. It is a PITA, but a great bra once you've actually done it up.

I've been known to ask people for help in the changing room Confused

When I say overhead I mean arms over backwards once the normal fastener is done up then do up the bikini clip - not explaining this very well Grin

imagines poor gerbil trying to get the done up bra on

yegodsandlittlefishes · 30/04/2014 15:17

Oh...I suppose you could put it on back to front and do it up while clip is at front, then turn it around, then put arms through straps and cups into place. Would that work?

HazleNutt · 30/04/2014 16:16

No, the upper clip makes it a racerback, so you can't put it on back to front. Actually I could not put any of my sports bras on back to front, as they need to be tight, I would not be able to spin them around.

With this particular bra, you need to do up the clip reaching over your shoulders, like cardoon explains. But it can be possible that you simply can't reach and need to ask for help - I cannot wear their Gym bra for that reason, can't reach the upper clip neither from top nor bottom.

You definitely can't put it on back to front!

Ah, thanks. That one's out for me then, I can't raise one arm properly.

Fasten the clip, pull bra over head, wrestle boobs into place, fasten hooks, do final scoop.

I do the bottom strap up back to front, swivel it around, then do the top clasp over my head. The first two times it's fiddly, after that it's a cinch.

I normally do up all my bras right way around but this one is much too firm in the name for that.

Great description Amethyst! That's what I do too and what the sales assistant instructed when I bought it.

It took 7 years but I finaly on the stupid run bra.

JingleCatJingle · 13/11/2021 14:14

Finally put on!
