Please, please, please offer more front closure bras! Older women and those with mobility challenges are woefully under represented.

I buy mine from One Hanes Place they carry all brands and sizes.

Those on QVC are only for the flat chested.

As an older woman (67), I would not buy a front closure bra. I like the flexibility to adjust the band as it stretches out over time. They last longer that way.

I know some fasten their back closure bras by reaching behind them, which is difficult for those with mobility issues--or those like myself who have short arms! But my mom taught me from the beginning to:

1. Put a bra around my waist, backwards and upside down.

2. Fasten the hooks.

3. Bring the cups around front.

4. Flip the bra up and pull into place.

5. Put arms into straps.

6. Adjust yourself into the bra as necessary.

Just thought this might help, as I know people who never heard of this method until I told them.

I close all my bras in the front. I don't know how anyone fastens a bra reaching behind their back.

Last week I was looking around Her Room and saw they have many front closing. As I recall, several brands.

I agree about offering more front closure bras.......Also, please put the strap adjustments in the front since mine (back strap adjustments) won't stay where I adjust them......I'm heavy busted..........

@vermint I thought every woman did this no matter what size bra. This is the easiest way to put a bra on and it's the only way for me.

@Sage04 I think it's the easiest way, too, but I've known a number of women who put their arms through the straps and reach around behind to fasten the hooks.

I think I may have only put on my bras once or twice with the front closure method. I always put my arms through and close by reaching back. I'm used to it and it's easy.
