BEST WAY TO PUT ON A BRA? The co-hosts weigh in after two of the stars of 'The Real Housewives of Potomac' debated the right way to put on a bra on their podcast 'Reasonably Shady.' — The View (@TheView) May 20, 2025 While Behar added that she left like letting her boobs loose as bras are uncomfortable. 'You know what I feel like doing right now? I feel like letting these girls loose,' Behar joked. It's a known fact that women wear bras because their breasts need support. And as much as this is considered an everyday undergarment, sometimes it can get a little uncomfortable and overwhelming. Which is why some women like Goldberg prefer comfort, choosing a no-bra option. However, as much as not wearing a bra might feel comfortable there are disadvantages as well as advantages that come along with that decision. Advantages of not wearing a bra: According to an article by Ria Bhagwat on the 'Real Simple' website, there are benefits of not wearing a bra which includes refining your muscle tone and improving your skin's health. 'Not wearing a bra forces the muscles in your chest and back to work harder to support your breasts, and this engagement may lead to improved muscle tone over time,' they wrote. They added: 'Going braless, even for short periods, can help prevent painful chafing and rubbing along the shoulders, rib and back." Disadvantages of not wearing a bra: Not wearing a bra will eventually lead to your breasts sagging or even back problems. Several years of not wearing a bra will lead to your breasts sagging, especially if you have bigger breasts.

How do you hook it? Women are debating the proper way to put on a bra: ‘The fact that people do this is blowing my mind'
Turns out, getting dressed can be a full-contact sport — at least when it comes to putting on a bra. A boob-tiful debate has ignited after 'Real Housewives of Potomac' star Gizelle Bryant and her podcast co-host Robyn Dixon revealed on an episode of their podcast, 'Reasonably Shady,' their vastly different bra-hooking techniques — erupting a battle of the back-claspers vs. the front-fasteners. '(Some people) latch it in the front, and then they swing it around, and then they put their arms in,' Bryant said. Advertisement 'That's how I do it,' Dixon admitted. Cue the chaos. Jenna Bush Hager and sportscaster Erin Andrews weighed in during a recent episode of 'Jenna & Friends,' siding with team back hook. Advertisement 'We don't put our bra on like that, though. We put it on in the back,' said Bush Hager. 'I've never done it on the front unless it's a front clasp.' 3 Putting on a bra is an act that women will always wonder if they're doing correctly. í íµí³í¸í½í° íâ¢íâ¬í¾íâíµíµí²í° – 'I'm double-jointed. I can do it. I just can't do the strap,' Andrews added. 'I ask [my husband], 'Honey, you're going to have to tighten this bad boy. Tighten it tighter,'' Bush Hager added. Advertisement Turns out this is a long-standing debate — and not every technique involves twisting, hooking or sweating it out. There are multiple Reddit threads of women asking each other how to properly put on the required wardrobe item. 3 Turns out this age-old debate has been bouncing around for decades — and not every bra-putting method involves twisting, contorting or working up a sweat. – 'It partly depends on how broad your shoulders are and how your mobility is. I could never get a correct-sized bra over my head like that, but I know people who can. And not for nothing but repeatedly stretching the band out to put it on that way will definitely wear it out faster,' one person explained on Reddit. Advertisement 'The proper way is to put your arms through the straps and put it on, then reach behind you and do up the clips,' chimed in someone else on the same thread. Even people on TikTok are trying to differentiate between the right and wrong way. 'The fact that people do this is blowing my mind,' a commenter wrote on a TikTok video that discussed the supposed right way. 'This is how I've always done it. the twist method is uncomfortable for me so I'm not sure how else to do it?' another comment read. But Gen Z is the generation trying to reshape the bra narrative. And they're not just rethinking how to put it on — they're questioning why it needs wires at all. Generation Z isn't burning their bras, but they're happy to send underwire packing. Advertisement TikTok creators are going gaga for wire-free options, racking up millions of views — and tossing their pokey push-ups in the bin. 3 Gen Z may not be burning their bras, but they're ditching the underwire fast. TikTokkers are racking up millions of views flaunting their wire-free wins — and chucking their pokey push-ups without a second thought. Arman Zhenikeyev – Melbourne's Stephanie Jade Lewis told that ditching wires was a game-changer. 'I don't even know I'm wearing anything… Now, it's not even a thought,' she said. Orly Jacobson jumped on the wire-free bandwagon too. 'After my breast reduction, I was so sick of wearing painful, wired bras… Seeing a lot of women my age wearing playful and versatile bralettes made me want to jump on the bandwagon.' Advertisement And Gen Z is putting its money where its mesh is. 'We have seen a significant consumer trend among Gen Z women, who are ditching traditional wired bras in favour of wire-free options,' De Winter said. Whether you hook, twist, tug or step in — one thing's for sure: the bra wars are far from over.
