A lingerie expert has claimed people are putting their bras on wrong - and the problem is shortening the lifespan of our undies.
Kelly, who works at Janice Rose Lingerie, has insisted there is only one correct way to ensure the longevity of your underwear. She appeared in a viral video for the firm, in which she showed customers different ways to put on a bra - insisting most methods were incorrect.
The clip, posted on @janiceroselingerie and reported by the Mirror, showed the member of staff trying on a plain white bra with clasps at the back, and the first two methods she tried involved fastening the clasps before you put the bra on.
In the video, she tells how some people will then pull the bra over their head to put it on the same way you would a t-shirt, or step into it and pull it up, like you would a skirt or some dresses.
But after each method, Kelly said: "No, no, no!", to indicate that neither of those was the correct way of doing things. She then moved on to the popular twisting method, where you start by fastening the clasps around your chest at the front of your body so you can see what you're doing, before twisting the bra so that the clasps are at the back and slipping your arms into the straps.
Kelly also claimed this way was wrong too, as she moved on to the final method which involved slipping your arms into the straps while the bra is undone, before doing it up behind your back, as the expert said this was the best way to prevent unnecessary wear and tear.
The clip was captioned: "How do you put your bra on? Preserve the life of your bra by putting it on correctly."
But commenters on the video struggled to accept the expert's advice, as many said that while the final method might make bras last longer, it's inconvenient for some people who may have a limited range of movement and can't get their arms behind their back to fasten the clasps.
One person wrote: "No, that's the hardest way to put it on."
While another said: "I am physically incapable of doing it the last way, so it's a 'no no no' from me!"
