Putting on a bra is like a second nature for women. You don't need instructions to tell you how to eat or sleep or take a shower. Similarly, a woman doesn't need a tag to school her on to put on the undergarment she has been impulsively slipping on for years. Well, turns out she does! Women, brace yourselves for the biggest revelation of your life - you have probably been wearing your bras the wrong way all your life! Read ahead to find out why and how to wear it right. Today Show How did we discover this revelation? Just to clarify, we can't take the credit. Brittany Packnett, an activist, educator and a writer, set the internet on fire when she tweeted about this newly found discovery after a bra purchase from ThirdLove. https://twitter.com/MsPackyetti/status/918570479849496578 Take a look at the story and see if you too have been wearing your bras wrong too. The Right Method to Put on a Bra Initially, she decided to turn a blind eye to the lingerie tag. But when the bra didn’t fit right, she turned her attention to the three-step instructions attached. And that's when she had her bra-velation! Instagram / avokado_nz This graphic on a bra company's tag shows the right way to wear a bra. ThirdLove via Today.com: Ra’el Cohen, head of design at ThirdLove, told TODAY Style, “Most women are wearing a band that’s too large for them and are wearing their band on the tightest hook to overcompensate for the extra room. But if you wear a brand-new bra on any other hook than the loosest, you’re probably in too big of a band size.” Brittany realized this and said, "I was all wrong." She did not have the proper breast placement in the cups and was wearing her bra on the middle clasp - something that most women do unknowingly. Experts at town shop reverberate Cohen's claim. They say that to wear the bra on the loosest clasp makes perfect sense as bras get less elastic over time. So, to move from looser to tighter clasps would sound logical. The straps too go through the same procedure. The T-shirt Test pixabay Take a simple t-shirt test to find out if you're wearing the bra properly, and most importantly, of the correct size. All you would need is a cotton t-shirt. Just wear a bra underneath the cotton tee and see if it looks smooth. If the bra outline shows too much on outside of the t-shirt, it's probably not the right fit. Basically, wearing a bra underneath a cotton t-shirt should appear seamless to make sure that the size is right for you. Bonding over a bra All thanks to Brittany Packnett for taking it to twitter to share her enlightenment. It did many women a service. Apart from that, what resulted was a female bonding occasion over a bra. https://twitter.com/st_heather/status/918614382170566656 https://twitter.com/MsPackyetti/status/918571039667425280 A lot of women acknowledged the fact that what seemed like a daily habit perfected over time, was still far from being perfect. https://twitter.com/dvlprofakidsmnd/status/918628423395930112 https://twitter.com/MsPackyetti/status/918571323923853312 Apparently, a lot of women already had this knowledge but never talked about it. When Brittany came out with her tweet, several women chipped in with their advises and experiences of being fitted at a lingerie store. Brittany's tweet got a whole discussion going with many women all over the world bonding and sharing their individual experiences. Twitter Twitter Isn't it unusual, yet heartening to know that there are others around the world who share your mistakes in something so basic? Twitter It is a great relief to fling that bra out at the end of the day and have a comfortable sleep. But it is also important to maintain the shape and health of your breasts by wearing the bra correctly for the rest of the day. If this enlightened you on a subject close to your heart (pun intended), share it with other women-folks to make them in the know as well. Credits: troab.com and Today.com
