Using bra extensions is quite simple: attach the hooks on the underside of the extender to your bra's hook loops, then connect your bra's hooks to the hook loops on the front of the extender.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Identify the Components: Bra extensions typically have hooks on one side and loops on the other. Your bra also has hooks and loops.
-
Attach the Extender to Your Bra: Take the hooks located on the underside of the bra extender. These hooks are designed to connect to the loops currently found on your bra band. Essentially, you're using the extender to add extra loops.
-
Fasten Your Bra to the Extender: Now, take the hooks on your bra strap and connect them to the loops now present on the front side of the bra extender.
In essence, you're inserting the bra extender between your bra's existing hooks and loops, effectively increasing the band size.
Why Use Bra Extensions?
- Increased Comfort: When your bra band feels too tight, an extender can provide immediate relief.
- Weight Fluctuation: Ideal for times when you're between sizes due to weight gain or loss.
- Pregnancy: During pregnancy, your rib cage expands, and bra extenders offer a flexible solution.
- New Bras: Sometimes, a new bra feels tight initially; an extender can help you wear it comfortably until it stretches slightly.
Choosing the Right Bra Extender:
- Number of Hooks: Ensure the extender has the same number of hooks as your bra (usually 2, 3, or 4).
- Hook Spacing: The spacing between the hooks on the extender needs to match the spacing on your bra. Measure the distance between the centers of the hooks on your bra to find the correct spacing.
- Color: Choose an extender that matches the color of your bra for a more discreet look.
Bra extenders offer a simple and cost-effective way to adjust the fit of your bras, ensuring greater comfort and extending the life of your favorite lingerie.
