How do you put on a bra one-handed?

[Artista]

I would think that clasping the bra around your chest or waist would be the hardest part with limited mobility in your arm. Would it help to clasp the bra while it's off your body and step into it, pulling it over your legs and hips up to your chest, then put your arms through the straps?

This seems like a clever solution. I don't know if they sell them in the US but I wonder if you could rig something similar up using an old metal coat hanger.

Hook it before you put it on, step into it and wrestle it into place from your feet up.

Bummer about your arm. How hard did you fall??

That makes all the sense in the world!

One can only hope by stepping into a hooked-together bra at waistline and pulling it up, that there is enough stretch .. but sounds like a good thing to try. Not sure I would start pulling up the bra from feet level --it assumes the whole hip isn't too much bigger than the bust circumference.

um... how can you step into a hooked together bra and just pull it up from the waistline?



(urgh, that just reminded me of the gory tv show I watched yesterday...)

Can't speak for her, but my butt is waaaaayyy too big to pull my bra over it one-handed.

Got my grammar wrong. I meant hooking the bra at waist level since the injured arm usually cannot be lifted upward very far. I have a small butt and I can't even imagine trying to pull up without super strength my (small circumference) bra over my hips. Unless it's a very stretchy bra ...or um, looser (older) bra.

Just makes me sweat abit thinking about it.
