How do you put yours on?

Mawbroonsback I like “twizzke.” It sounds like a Russian term for a complicated move in ice skating.

I pull mine up over my feet.

Since my frozen shoulder problem and torn tendon, I can’t get my right arm behind my back any more, so I do it up in front and twizzke it round.

Sports bras are a whole other story. I can't get on with the racing back ones at all. I have to buy the normal ones and use the same method, not that I do very much sport these days

They told me it ruins it but I can only do arms first if someone does the back up for me so that is not very practical

Marbles, I will try to remember to experiment with your method, now that I wear the straps longer .

Same here. I have a cross-backed sport's bra and have to get DH to do it up as it's too fiddly to do without looking.

I fasten it at the front and turn it round.

Had a bra fitting the other day and the saleswoman was horrified to see that I put mine on by doing the back up then slipping the straps over my arms afterwards. Apparently you are supposed to put arms in first and then do the back up after but i find that almost impossible and it requires a lot of adjustment afterwards. Just wondered whether it's just me?
