How to Take off Your Bra Without Taking off Your Shirt

Last Updated: April 23, 2019

Sometimes there are just situations where you aren't comfortable or it isn't appropriate to take off your shirt and you need to take off your bra. This could be at a sleepover and you want to take off your bra to go to sleep or you need to take it off to get comfortable for a movie night. Whatever the reason, here is an easy trick to getting your bra off without taking off your shirt!

Steps

1
Determine where your bra hooks. Does it hook in the front or the back? In this example, the bra hooks in the front.
2
Unhook your bra. You can do this over your shirt, or if you feel comfortable, put your hands in your shirt and do it.
3
Slip the straps off your shoulders and arms.
4
Take one strap and pull the bra out of your shirt. Slip it through the back of your shirt if the bra hooks in front. If it hooks in the back, slip it through the front.
5
Place your bra where desired.

Question

What if I wear a bra without a hook?

Community Answer

Then you cannot slip it out from your sleeve because it will not come apart for you to slip through the sleeve. Slip your arms out and slide it down your clothes.

Slide your arms out of the sleeves so they are where your stomach is (while you are wearing a shirt). Unhook your bra at the back. Cross your arms over and with your left hand, grab the right strap, and with your right hand, grab the left strap. Pull the bra off like you would a shirt.
Question

I have big cups. Will that make my shirt stretched out?

Community Answer

No, probably not. It really depends on how stretchy the shirt is and how big the cups are.
