Kmart shopper's ‘genius’ bra hack will make your life so much easier (and comfier)
- Replies 13
Making sure that your wardrobe is comfortable can sometimes be a challenge. This is especially true for women who know how difficult it can be to find the right bra.
The rise of online shopping has made it quicker to shop from home, but sometimes the best options aren't always that obvious. And so the search can feel like a never-ending endeavour. What’s worse is that when the item arrives, sometimes it doesn’t fit as you expected it to.
So, imagine our surprise when we stumbled across this genius hack from a friendly Kmart shopper to salvage that uncomfortable bra you bought – and ladies, it’s sure to make your life so much more comfier!
The shopper took to a popular Facebook group to reveal how she makes her bras a lot more comfortable by doing ‘one simple thing’.
She posted a photo of a lacy dusty pink bra from Kmart and explained how she makes a simple alteration to ensure she can wear it all day long.
‘Make sure you cut these out before your first wear,’ she captioned the photo and showed that she had removed the plastic straps from the sides of the bra.
She explained that the clear, plastic straps that run on the sides of many of Kmart’s popular bras can often be a hassle and poke into the skin.
‘It’s super easy because within an hour of wear, the bottom is already sticking out and it is super painful,’ she explained.
The woman added that the bra still ‘sits fine’ without the plastic protruding from the sides.
Other Kmart shoppers were shocked by the simple hack, with many saying that the woman had solved a common frustration when wearing the undergarment.
‘You can do that? I love the bra but these sides hurt so much!’ One commented on her post.
‘You’re a genius, thank you. This is the part that always bothers me,’ another shared.
Someone said that they owned the same bra and when they wore it again recently, they remembered why they stopped wearing it. ‘Thank you, perfect timing. What a game changer!’ They added.
‘Good idea. Thanks, I have two of these and the plastic is painful,’ one more social media user responded. While one shared that they never thought of removing the clear straps before.
‘I just tried this and you’re right – makes them so much more comfortable. I’m blown away,’ another wrote.
Some said they were keen to try the hack on their own bras.
‘I’ve had these bras for ages and had no idea that this could be done!’ admitted one.
Another agreed and stated that they were going to inspect all of their bras to remove the clear plastic straps.
The shopper gave a disclaimer that although she knew that not everyone experiences issues with the Kmart bra, it’s still a handy hack to keep in the back of their minds.
‘It may or may not be important to you as everyone has different body shapes, I just thought I’d share with those gals who had the same problem as me so you don’t lose faith in them, they are a great bra,’ she explained.
Plastic boning is more flexible and easier to use for designers, which is why they’re good for curves on more everyday garments. It can also prevent garment seams from curling up.
But they can be painful if they're not sitting correctly. There is believed that there is no consequence of removing this from your bra, well, except extra comfort.
