 Topic: Just for us girls

The guys probably can't help with this one!
I find that the hardest part of dressing is getting on the bra. I use a dressing stick and need front hooking bras, but I'm wondering if any of you have found a bra that is easier to get on. I HATE going without one! The OTs couldn't help...
Thanks, Kathy

I rarely wear one and when I do - it is a challenge. I am so glad I am not big busted - just wouldn't fit my personality, lifestyle or my health now.  Wish I could help.

Maidenform sweet nothings are front closing, soft, and fairly easy to get on. Unfortunately, they are hard to find since they've discontinued them. Sometimes I can find them on the web .

I have to wear one...the only advantage to putting on a few pounds is bigger boobs...but there are days (esp. when it is 100 degrees out) that I wish I had none. But I wear regualr under wire bras and just hook them in front and then turn them around and slip my arms in. You could try a sports bra...most of them just pull on over your head...no hooks at all. WalMart carries several kinds for $10 or less. You dont get any lift, but you will get very good support even from an inexpensive Hanes one.

I do the hook in the front and turn around thing too. LoL A lot of times I leave the straps loose, so that it's easy to spin and get my arms through, and I'll just have my hunny tighten them for me. :)

Hook and turn....that's what i do to.
it stinks b/c it stretches out the bra and i end up having to replace them
quicker.
Just another joy of RA....

I do the hook and turn, but I also wear front close bras fairly often.
there are a couple of leisure bras that actually provide enough support, and are comfy.

I too do the 4th grader hook and turn, but sometimes it is so hard on the wrists, isn't it?
