If you’ve been around a while then you’ll know I met Cody whilst a manager of Frederick’s of Hollywood.
Who wouldn’t want to marry that right?
Anyway. With all the bra fitting and bra talking and bra this bra that I learned something about us wimminz. Something to bring up at your next playgroup. Because I promise there will be some funny looks after you pose this one question.
“How do you put on your bra?”
Are you a front hooker slider or a back hooker?
Go forth, discuss. Let me know how it goes.
(I’m a back hooker personally. I believe myself to be the minority.)
making unbreakable - formerly moosh in indy. 
reach around snap. definitely. unless it’s a front hook. then all bets are off. Or a sports bra that I pull over my head. *guffaw*. I forgot for a minute that I don’t exercise anymore.

Ok, so I think. . . according to your oh-so-professional description, that I am a hook front slide.
I hold the hooks in my right hand, swing the bra around my back and bring the other hooks around the left side and in front. Hook them together in the front. Slide the bra around so the boob part is by the boobs. Shove my arms through the holes, and tuck the boobs in, then pull the boobs up.
Don’t know how women manage to put their bra on the way it’s supposed to go, and hook the hooks in the back. . . I don’t have such dexterity. Wish I did. It’s super sexy stuff.
Which leads me to declare to everyone that Casey puts her bra on Super Sexy Stuff style.

I’m a back hooker, but I hook it upside down and then put my arms in the straps. I wish I could do the thing where you put it on like a backward jacket and then hook it, because I’m pretty sure it is less strain on the fabric, but it doesn’t work so well with triple-d’s, if you know what I mean.

Back hooker here. But, I think I do it the way that seven does. I hook in front (upside down) and slide around.
Front hooks always scared me. Wasn’t sure they’d hold as well.

Never thought about it. Just did it. In fact, when I read the question I thought, “Back hooker, duh.” And then it gradually dawned on me that I’m a front hooker slider. I think. I might have to actually go take my bra off and put it back on now to find out.

Bent Over Reverse-Jacket Back Hooker–both arms in, pull cups up to were they’re supposed to be, bend over (and do a little wiggle dance) so the cups actually get filled the right way, pull hooks together in back & snap as I straighten. Then I have to pull the boobs up a bit to resettle in the cups.

Most my bras are back hookers, but I always preferred the bras that were front hookers.
HOWEVER, lately I’ve only been wearing sports bras, because they’re so comfy and I can stick things in them when I don’t have pockets…like cell phones, money, ID, candy bars (just kidding). I have ample busom and ample room to hide things. hehe

back hooker – arms in, bend and jiggle into the cups (like my mom taught me), hook in the back, readjust. of course, unhooking goes the opposite way. i didn’t know that people hooked in front and slid around – too tricky for me. i’ve had several front-hook bras come undone on me, so i usually don’t buy those.
