Arms first, then adjust boobs in the cups, then clasp it and final tweaks (if nedeed, because some days boobies are too wild to handle with care).

(When I wear it) always in the back. I tried on the front one time because I saw my mum do it, but it just felt weird. I do it in 1 second. I also unclasp it with only one hand. I'm an experiened user!

Front. I can do back but it takes forever because I always miss the clasps.

Also, do you (or anyone else that has trouble clasping bras in the back) also find it difficult to button/unbutton, zip/unzip, or tie things in the back?
 
And most importantly, how do you take your bra off? Do you first take your shirt off, then your bra, or unclasp first and take it off stealthily?

 
I don't have any trouble with button/unbutton, zip/unzip, tie things in the back. I have a tight top that ties up with laces in the back and I do it with no issues. I have flexible arms/shoulders, though, that might explain it, thanks to years of swimming/sports in general.

 

About taking it off: it depends on the occasion. If I'm in a hurry I take my shirt off, then my bra; if I'm just being norml lazy I unclasp and take the bra off first, then proceed to take my shirt whenever I want it (or not, if I'm not alone at home -except if it's my husband)

That's interesting. I don't like pulling things over my head, so I avoid doing it whenever possible. Do you put your deodorant on after your bra? I would imagine you'd constantly get deodorant stains on your bras if you did it the other way around.

I put deodarant on after bra before shirt

I have no problem clasping in the back, it's just how I've always put on my bra for some reason.

I unclasp my bra in the back, pull off straps from arms (through shirt sleeves unless it's long sleeve then shirt comes off) then I pull bra through front of shirt and fling across the room and say "ahh that's better"

I was curious, so I tried putting my bra on the way you do, and I got really confused.

 

Your bra removal method is pretty much identical to mine, though. Can't get that damn thing off soon enough!

I clasp it in the back. I've been doing it that way since I was 11 so I'm usually able to feel and grab onto the clasps on the first try. Doing it from the front feels unpleasant and makes me feel claustrophobic, but it's easier.

 

It feels strange being in this thread seeing as I haven't had a period in over 4 years. I don't miss it.

I seriously never knew there were people that didn't clasp that shit in the front. You are more coordinated than I. 

 

Alsooo, just wondering, is everyone else as paranoid about yeast infections as I am. Are there lucky people out there who haven't had them. Or are they uncommon and I am just horribly unlucky.

I clasp mine in the front and turn it around, the order I take my clothes off depends on who's around, I can't do anything behind my back to save my life, and I put deodorant on after I do everything else.

I've only had two, and it was like a week before I confirmed I was pregnant both times. Do you get them often? Do you have candida overgrowth?

[Trichomes]

I've only had one very mild yeast infection, so I'm not really paranoid about getting them, but I still take all the necessary precautions.

 

I'm more afraid of getting UTIs, after having several in a fairly short period of time a couple years ago. I used to hold my pee in for way too long, and didn't really pay all that much attention to peeing after sex, but now I'm extra cautious. I start to panic a little whenever I feel any sort of pressure or discomfort in my lower abdomen (unrelated to my period) or when I feel like I'm peeing more frequently than usual.

I don't think I've ever had one in my 28.5 years on this earth.

I started getting them a lot after I had had an allergic reaction and got put on steroids/antihistamines, I've been good for almost a year now but whenever I get the slightest itch I start to freak out lol. It's very hot/humid where I live so I guess I just gotta be careful lol.

That is good, take precaution. A bad yeast infection is like. It's worse than pain after a surgery. Like idk pain you can kind of become numb do but ITCHINESS DRIVES YOU INSANE

 

Ohhh god, I've never had a UTI and I'm super paranoid about that too, haha! Erughhhh

I don't know if I was just lucky or if I caught it early, but I wasn't in any pain at all when I had my yeast infection. I don't even think I was that itchy. The only indication I had that something was off was some funky discharge. I took a single dose of antibiotics and that seemed to clear everything up quickly.

 

On the other hand, my UTIs were extremely painful and accompanied by low-grade fevers, so I just felt kind of sick in general. The worst part about having a UTI is that it burns like a motherfucker when you pee, and you feel like you have to go all the time.

[Frizzle]

FWIW men can get yeast infections as well from their partners. It usually involves small bumps over the glans, rash, swelling and painful urination.

Always urinste after sex to reduce this risk.

I've known men who get yeast infections in their mouths.

 

Ladies, if you got a yeast infection don't let your partner go down on you.... *_*

Oh, yeah, that'll do it. My baby had one a while back and I killed it with coconut oil.

I stopped using birth control since New Year's 2015 because it was messing me up completely and we use condoms (ugh) now. I've been feeling better ever since. However, my natural period is irregular af and at the moment I can't even remember my last one. We've had so many pregnancy scares already.

 

(I mean, I like kids, I want kids... just not now)

Have you spoken to your doctor (or whomever your provider is) about alternatives? IUD (copper or something like mirena)? Nuvaring? The arm implant? Depo (that freaks me out but it works for some)

Not yet. I actually quit with the nuvaring (and the 'regular' pill, which uses the same hormones). The other alternatives I knew of required having been pregnant before (like the IUD). Arm implant though? Never heard of that :0 What is it?

You don't need to have been pregnant to have an IUD That used to be the recommendation but isn't any longer.  

 

The arm implant is similar to the IUD except that its a piece in your arm and it's good for roughly 3 years I believe I would love it but we can't get it where I live

[Swar]

Very late but relevant.

they changed that? Lol I've been calling my classmate an idiot all this time because he wanted to 'surprise' his girlfriend with an IUD, telling him it could seriously harm her fertility lol. I think I'll have a chat with the doctor about it. If they really changed that, I think that would be great to have :0
