Bra survey

OK just a small survey because I am so upset everytime I check out bras from popular (UK) brands.

How many hooks do you like on your bra closure?
1, 2, 3, or more?
Why and which sizes do you wear?

So I want 3 or more hooks! Even at my "mid" size of 34G/GG! I hate to see all those bras with only 2 hooks up to H cup! Why???
The worst ist Freya Plunges which do only 1 hook up to G-cup!!! Whyyyyy???I refuse to spend money on these bras anymore. It limits my options in brands but then money talks and I don't want them to get it if they don't make bras I like 100%.

I don't like the look or the lack of support of such a narrow band on my back. The more narrow a bra band / closure is, the more it cuts into the flesh. A wider band gives me less of a "back-fat" look than a narrow one.
I don't know why large bra companies do this! You can't even wear backless tops because there is still a bra band showing... it really serves no purpose ...

  • 3 hooks looks better. Less back fat, and I think the bra will last longer with the 3-hook closure.

    However, I do have one *super comfy bra* (Gaia Eve) that only has two!

    One hook, I could never do. NOt in the full-bust sizes!

  • 1 hook is offensive! If I did not get this bra at very cheap price and it is really cute... 36FF - Freya » Offbeat Plunge Bra (5452) argh I still debate if I want to frankenbra it with some extenders as a new closure...

    Bravissimo won't get my money - they do now bras up to H, HH and J cup with 2 hooks... and upped the prices like 8-10£ for each bra in the last years. Straps got thinner and stretchier too even back in 2021.
