Lin did try debenhams a while ago and couldnt find one may be worth trying again or asking but why is it so hard to get them,

AM I the only person that has trouble doing up bras so needs a front loader? Can I find One NO. took Lynns advoce went to Co-op yes they have one yes ONE but that has at least 4 hooks to do up, when you have numb hands not good. ANyone got any ideas where to get one from am fed up with struggling to do mine up and if I keep asking hubby he will get ideas lol.

Afew of the catalogues have them. Failing that maybe Debanhams. LIn x

Linda neither do I , havvent got a clue where they sprung from cos never used to be like this lol

I am sure M and S do them. Cant you do what my daughter does - does it up at the front and then swirls it round? (No, neither can I, lol) OC

OC doing anything with my arms and shoulders hurts so even twisting it round hurts so just wasnted to make life a bit easier

Have you tried Ann Summers ? They don't just do come and get me stuff LOL Claire xxx

Unless you've got small boobs and can get away with wearing an elastic band its a nightmare lol. As you may guess I do not fit into that catagory lol. Lin x

Claire didnt think of there if they do better not tell hubby where its from cos he thinks they just do come and get me or come and play stuff lol

You only have to say Ann Summers and they think it's GAME ON !!!

Contessa stock them x

I have never been able to do mine up at the back, like others have said, do it up at the front, then slide it round and up, slip your arms through the straps and Bob's yer uncle!

Just remembered theres a company called Bravissimo. They have a web site, but they're not cheap. LIn x

Strump not a Contessa near here just checked their website. TW have problems with shoulders and arms and I know it sounds silly and far fetched but twisting it round is painful

Lin just been to their website and none come up

What am I like - saw front loaders and thought you meant washing machines. ooooopppppsss - will try and go and find my brain. Love Mary in Spain xx

This is one of my most maddening areas of shopping! I was briefly starved of oxygen at birth so I have very limited dexterity in my left hand (ie. I can just pick up a pen, but could never hold it so as to be able to write). As a result, I do everything right-handed. Thing is, because of that, I'm forever pulling my left bra strap back onto my shoulder because it always slips down. I did try front fastening bras at one point but the only ones I can find are sports bras and I want something frilly and lacy and feminine. Also, because the straps are always falling down my shoulders, they get stretched eventually and then they won't stay up even on the shortest length. I really wish manufacturers would think of these things. For the past thirteen years, I have fastened my bra round the front and moved it round to put it on. I can unfasten it at the back quite easily, but I can't fasten it from the back at all.

Joanne in my size they only have 5 none are suitable and cost the earth. Thanks for the suggestion never heard of the company before so was worth a try

Kate maddening isnt it , all I want is to make my life a bit easier by getting things that I can cope with rather than have to ask for help because I am so stubborn would rather struggle than ask. SO much for helping the disabled?

Gossard used to do them, but haven't seen them for ages. will be peering at all the bras in shops now, you do realise that don't you? Ann Glos
