Yes, really.
When you’re barely awake and getting dressed in the morning, I for one don’t tend to overthink how I’m putting my bra on but apparently, there’s a ‘right’ way.
Brittany Packett, educator, activist, speaker, writer and avid Twitter user, shared a tweet which has gone massively viral thanks to the ‘how to put on a bra’ mini-tutorial included within.
.@ThirdLove just told I’ve been putting on my bras wrong for twenty years.
You probably have, too. pic.twitter.com/eHRWVp11OA

Yep, as you’ll see below, Brittany says that Third Love, a San-Francisco based company, informed her that she’s been putting her bra on wrong for twenty years and that chances are, she’s not the only one.
The tips include closing your bra on the last hook, putting your boobs into each cup and tightening the straps from time to time.
In contrast to this, Brittany was using the middle hook (same) and never thought she had to ‘place’ them in the bra (same) but having tried it, she’s now a convert.
But then I decided to read it…
And I was all wrong. It was in the middle clasp and I did *not* do proper breast placement. pic.twitter.com/zc4gZdrAT7

Judging by the multiple replies to her tweet, most people agreed with the advice given by Third Love.

I was fitted at a specialty store abt 6 yrs ago. It was life changing! They told me to start with the looses hooks so you can move in as the bra ages and stretches out. Also told me abt placement & adjusting the straps. @AdoreMe has great products as well

I thought it was supposed to be on middle hook for ideal fit. Guess I’m a messed-up bra wearer too!

I think it’s start on the loosest setting so you have room to go when it invariably stretches out.

I’ve always done it this way and feel dorky whenever I dress in front of someone but oh well ???

Don’t feel bad. I just learned this same information last year. There’s a whole generation of wrong bra-ing.

What do you think…is it all a gimmick or could there be some truth in the ‘correct’ way to put your bra on?
