How you put on your bra apparently reveals your personality

[kittykarate]

Apologies for the daily mail link www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-3205160/Are-clasping-influencer-fastening-supporter-way-BRA-reveals-intimate-details-personality.html a psychologist has decided that there are 4 ways to fasten and put on your bra

1. Behind the back (means you're submissive)
2. At the front and rotate (means you're and influencer)
3. You guy a front fastening bra (means you're a commander)
4. You fasten it before putting it over your head (you're a careful corrector)

Now, to me this is just bollocks, and the '4' methods should be interpreted thus.

1. Behind the back - you have flexible shoulder joints.
2. At the front and rotate - you may need a bra intervention
3. Front fastening bra - you don't have d+ cup size
4. fasten before putting over your head - JESUS CHRIST YOU REALLY NEED A BRA INTERVENTION! How loose is your band?

I'm with WhirlpoolGalaxy on this. It exists to encourage women to pigeonhole themselves into a very slim range of "types". Makes MBTI and astrology look like tailored advice. Have never seen any kind of "What type of man are you?" quizzes or research, although I have seen men take an interest in the aforementioned more general categories of personality sorting. Now, that... that is interesting.

Front fasten and rotate here because it's easiest and quickest.

I've clearly been 12 for forty odd years

Front fastening and rotating while the bra is at waist level, and then pulling the bra up, putting arms into the straps as you get it to a convenient height, is quite easy. It doesn't mean that the band has to be really loose. I think some people are picturing rotating the bra at chest height, which could be tricky!

Another 12 yr old and proud of it! !! Think my mum, aged 77 also has this claim to fame....

I'm usually 1 but I do 2 with my sports bra, because it's got two fixings and one is too high up to reach without a severe amount of contortion or a helpful friend

I have never in my life heard of anyone who does method 4!

Maybe I could apply for funding to carry out my study on what your bra-size says about you. Obviously it will be slightly biased and say that if you're 36H you are a strong, confident and wonderful person.

I do it as Olinguito says. I'm 56 with shoulders that have dislocated far too often!

I can't swivel
Always do up at the back. My bra band can only just fit a finger under so even at waist level I would struggle to swivel it

Always method no 1, so I am submissive. That's why I flop around in a bra!

I take particular care to ensure that the tab extension of the clasp is under the hooks, particularly with a new, tight bra, so that I don't get the hooks digging into my back.

I'm a swiveller (2). My waist is much smaller than my chest, so swivelling is easy.

What a stupid article. I have myself for reading it.

I find it hard to do up at back. usually swivel.

I'm a swiveller (I'm an hourglass shape so it's easy).

I am neither 12 nor do I need a bra intervention. I doubt I'm much of an influencer, either.

I am, however, disabled - doing my bra up at the back can result in injury. When I had a rotator cuff tear diagnosed and treated, my doctor asked if I could reach behind to touch my bra strap and I couldn't even do that. I don't fancy going through that again.

I think people should just do whatever is comfortable for them! The idea that this choice accurately reflects someone's personality seems a bit daft.

Silver I'm an hourglass too and couldn't swivel if I tried.If I did I'd have to wear the wrong size bra to do it!

I put it on around my waist, do it up at the back then hoik it up, bending forward, putting on straps and scooping.

Am I weird?

What?

Doing a bra up at the back is the Only Right Way. I'm GG cup and always wear underwired bra. If I could swivel, it would mean that it was too loose

My bra fits just fine, I guess it's just what I'm used to as I've always done it that way. The bra doesn't just slip round when I swivel, I have to pull it along - except strapless bras with the plasticky bits, I need help with those as swivelling tears at my skin.

(I'm also a C cup and I avoid underwired bras).
