Way back when I was married, I convinced my wife to switch to a front opening bra. She chose a style with a very wide back band and was happy to have made the switch. I have never understood why women would want their bras to hook in the back. I guarantee you that you will be much happier with a front opening bra.It's all I can do to remove my own without dislocating a shoulder or pulling a muscle! Evil devices they are!
