Stretching Bands

The large part of my bra rotation is aging and the bands are stretching out. They still have lots of life yet but need that adjustment. Some bras are on their 2nd hook, others are on the 3rd, and some need to be tightened on the second day of wear - otherwise the band becomes irritating as the day goes by. Getting dressed in the morning was taxing by brain as I tried to remember which bra needed which hook. My genius-level abilities came up with the idea of nail polish on the metal loop - one colour for all. I have the next colour waiting for the next phase. Thought that I would pass it on!

  • So, for example, pink (or no colour) would be for the loosest, blue is middle, and green is for tightest (or some scheme like that)?

  • Yes, no nail polish when the bra is shiny and new and on the first hook. Pink for the first adjustment or if the band is already a bit loose, then a different colour for the next stretched out phase. I had to go to a different colour as a couple of bras have two hooks with pink to remind me about the tighter hook on the second day. Good to go!
