How hard it is to buy a bra (sorry boys) with either a front fastening or pull on i have traipsed the length of my local city Truro and couldnt get one any where they look at you as if you are a freak because you want one my shoulders,back and hands are really painfull and stiff in the morning and i have to get hubbie to fasten mine everyday so i thought it would be easier to buy a different sort instead of that i am totally exhausted and feel like screaming i will have to order online but then if it doesnt fit i have all the trouble of returning it, anyone else have this problem x Jane

    I dont have the problem you have but have you looked in the little clothing books that come with some newspapers at the week-end,when my sister was ill we got her front fastening ones from one of them.Worth a look maybe.Mig

    Hi Jane

    What about trying sports bras? I think a lot of them are the pull on style.

    It is a pain i know as a few years ago I broke my elbow and couldnt find much either..............incidentally much harder if you are encumbered by huge boobs! ;-)

    I don't have this problem as I gave up on bras years ago :roll: but I remember a thread about them and I'll bump it up in the hope it might be useful.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    I received my ahh bras from ebay this morning too, utter bliss. They don't hoist 'em up or anything, but they do stop them swinging in the wind so to speak. I may try 2 together as suggested, as at a mahoosive JJ cup going out untethered makes me a danger to the public but I would recommend these absolutely for comfort.
