How To Open & Close A Front-Close Bra

Let’s face it. There are days when your fingers and arms just won’t cooperate and getting on a traditional bra is a workout of its own.

Enter the front closure bra. 

Designed for ease of use, they offer amazing comfort and are particularly beneficial for seniors or anyone with shoulder or other mobility issues.

At ThirdLove, we offer a variety of different styles of front-close bras - from those with both front and back closures to racerback styles with a sleek back and easy front close. So whether you’re looking for a clean line under your racerback top, or a versatile and easily adjustable bra for multi-way wear, we’ve got you covered.

 

Steps to Opening a Front-Close Bra

Getting into one of these babies could not be easier. Follow these 3 easy steps, guaranteed to give you the best finishing look.

  1. Unlock the front closure and slip your arms into the straps. Position the bra around your body and bring the cups to the front.
  2. Lean forward slightly and allow your breasts to fall naturally into the cups. Bring the two sides together and fasten the hooks or clips at the center front.
  3. Adjust the straps for a proper fit and smooth out any wrinkles in the cup or band*.

 

And you’re done.

Do a quick reflection check to make sure the bra is sitting properly and providing adequate support. Make sure the band is even and not curved up your back. The band should sit even and firm around the rib cage, under the breast tissue. If the back band is pulled up into an inverted U, loosen the straps until it is level.

 

 

Tips to Address Common Bra Issues

Other than ease of use, front clip bras do have many other advantages.

  • For those with limited shoulder mobility, arthritis and other conditions that make reaching behind difficult, these bras answer those needs.
  • Depending on the style, lack of back closure makes for a cleaner back silhouette especially for low back or backless styles where traditional hooks show. Front close bras that feature a racerback bra also have added versatility.
  • Lack of back clips makes these bras far more comfortable especially when sitting or leaning against surfaces.
  • Wide arm openings and wireless design are a must for post surgery needs. Front clip bras provide comfortable support and are incision-site friendly.
  • Front closure bras are perfect for certain breast shapes.
  • East-west facing and wide-set breasts. The front closure helps bring the breasts closer together, due to a wider gore and giving a more lifted, centered appearance.
  • Asymmetrical breasts. Cups can be better adapted to suit individual adjustment required.
  • Shallow breasts. The lower open neckline gives a more pleasing lift.
  • Teardrop shaped breasts. Front closure bras will offer extra support for those with more volume in the lower breasts.
