Do you have difficulty wearing back-closing bras? Can you no longer reach behind to close your bra when that’s the way you were doing it before? Maybe you now have to tie it in the front and turn the whole thing around? You are not alone. Wouldn’t it be easier if the bra was designed with the closing in the front?

Front-closing bras exist and are now better designed and more accessible than before. Front-closure bras are great if you have mobility issues or arthritis. They are easier to put on and take off, with either hook-and-eye closures, zippers, or velcro.

What to Look for in a Front-Closing Bra for Older Women

You shouldn’t forgo wearing a bra because you have difficulty putting it on or it is uncomfortable. You simply need to find a front-closing bra that fits you well and that is comfortable to wear. They do exist!

Quality

Quality bras are made of durable fabrics and solid components. Look for carefully designed and well-constructed bras. Typically, quality bras cost more than fast-fashion bras and will last you longer.

Comfort

We spend a lot of time in our bras, so comfort is essential. It’s important to try on a bra before purchasing it to make sure that you feel good in it. Get professionally fitted at a specialized store or measure yourself at home to determine your correct bra size.

Support

Remember, your breasts should not be supported by the bra straps but rather by the band. To check this, simply slide your straps off your shoulders and determine if there is adequate support for your breasts.
