> [@Kimstu](#): > > Plus if you follow **Mtgman** ’s advice about paying for replacements like a gentleman, this could end up costing you serious bux. A decent-quality fancy bra can run you $20–$30 or more: ouch! Shoot, even a fancy pair of stockings can cost close to that much. And God forbid you should even pop a thread on something like, say… [this.](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000E1TEAW/) ---

> [@DianaG](#): > > \I’ve got cold hard cash for anyone who can figure out the sock thing, though. I put 6 pairs in, I get 5 pairs and a spare out. I buy socks at least once a month. Woot! Send me your money - I finally figured this one out. It’s the fitted sheets that are eating all the socks. My fitted sheets are always gathering my other clothing in them. ---

> [@Kimstu](#): > > Okay, folks, I know it’s traditionally considered cute when less-experienced young men complain about not knowing how to remove female clothing. But now that the Edwardian era is over, is this still honestly a problem for anyone who isn’t blind drunk or terminally clumsy? Now this is funny stuff. ---

> [@Cerri](#): > > Wtf, who takes their bra off that way?? Me. I put it on that way, too- I’ve been wearing bras for 21 years, but I’m very uncoordinated, so I’ve never learned to put it on or take it off any other way. Mr. Neville is uncoordinated, too- if he tries to take my bra off with one hand, I won’t let him (he can’t do it, but I think he thinks he should be able to, so he’d try). > [@Kimstu](#): > > But now that the Edwardian era is over, is this still honestly a problem for anyone who isn’t blind drunk or terminally clumsy? Hey, we terminally clumsy people need love, too! ---

> [@Maureen](#): > > That’s not a problem. Go to a lingerie shop, buy a bra that’ll fit around you. Put it on. Practice. That’s what I do. This also works with skirts, “tops,” stockings, strappy heels, etc. This is dual purpose. I find myself looking so good, I don’t need a woman. Before you know it, you’ll be sneaking that stuff under your work clothes. Uh-oh, am I going to have to host an “Ask the…” thread? ---

Um…may I be so bold as to suggest that the lady in question may accept a 30 second break in carressing/whatever the second hand is doing, and just use two hands to undo the bra if it causes that much trouble? ---

> [@Seren](#): > > And maybe you need to talk to **Praetor** … He can unhook mine without me even knowing. He’s also usually faster at unhooking than I am. (Guess he’s got more incentive 😉 ) She’s right, it’s really not that tough to remove with some practice. Reattaching the bra, OTOH, I find to be significantly harder. Although that could perhaps be attributed to me having no practice at putting it on. **Seren** would probably say it’s because I have no incentive to do so, which would also be a large factor. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-pit-thee-womens-clothing-and-undergarments/346249.md?page=3)
