How to Put On a Bra (Yes, There’s a Right Way😳)

ohsou comfort bra

Let’s be real, girl. Most of us learned how to wear a bra from watching our big sister or struggling in front of a mirror while praying the straps magically adjusted themselves. But guess what? There is a right way to wear your bra — and it can change the game for comfort, lift, and support. Here’s the ultimate scoop (pun intended).

Method 1: The Classic Back Clasp – The Pro Way

Also known as: The grown-up way (we see you, Virgos 😏)

Steps:

  1. Slip into the straps like it’s a tank top.

  2. Reach behind and fasten the hooks (start on the loosest setting so you can tighten as the band stretches).

  3. Scoop and swoop – This is the secret sauce! Reach into each cup and pull all the breast tissue (yes, even from under your armpits) into the cup.

  4. Adjust the straps – Snug but never digging in. If they’re slipping or leaving red lines, it’s time to tweak them.

Method 2 : The Front-Flip & Twist – The OG Chaos Method

We all did this, don’t lie.

Steps:

  1. Wrap your bra upside-down and backwards around your waist so the hooks are in front.

  2. Fasten it on the front.

  3. Spin it around to bring the cups up front.

  4. Flip it and pull up the straps.

Reality check: Doing this too often can stretch out the band. If this is your go-to method, invest in high-quality bras that can take it.

Method 3: Front-Clasp Bras – The Lazy Luxe Way

Some bras (and some girls) just get it.

Steps:

  1. Slide on the straps.

  2. Clasp it in the front.

  3. Adjust and scoop for the perfect fit.

Pro Tip: This method is perfect for days you need ease, speed, and vibes.

Final Fit Check – Are You Wearing It Right?

Before you head out the door (or post that fit check selfie), run through this:

  • Band snug and level across your back?

  • Center gore lying flat between your boobs?

  • No spillage or gapping in the cups?

  • Straps comfy and secure?

If yes — congrats, queen. You and your bra are a dream team.

Why It Matters: The Science of the Scoop & Swoop

The scoop and swoop technique isn’t just internet hype. Your breast tissue goes beyond what the cup immediately covers — especially under the arms. By scooping it into place, you:

  • Maximize your support

  • Avoid quad boob or side spillage

  • Get that smooth, lifted shape we all deserve

TL;DR

Wearing a bra correctly can:

  • Instantly improve support and comfort

  • Help your bra last longer

  • Make you feel more confident (and less itchy, poky, or droopy)

It’s the little things, bestie. Treat your bra like skincare — a bit of technique goes a long way. ✨
