A bone that comes out of a bra not only spoils the appearance of the product, but also causes discomfort and pain when worn. Not a single bra is immune from this, and it doesn’t matter whether it’s expensive or cheap, whether your breasts are voluminous or small, etc.
It would seem that there is no way to deal with this problem, because as soon as you put it back in place, after a few minutes it starts to prick again. What to do, it seems the only way to solve this problem is to throw away the bra.
But don't rush to part with your bra. It is very easy to give it its original look.
Saving your favorite bra
The most obvious way to fix a bra is to put the needle back in and stitch the hole tightly. But it's not that simple. This method does not guarantee that the situation will not happen again.
Therefore, if the underwires come out again even from a previously mended bra, It is worth wrapping the sharp edges of the knitting needle with several layers of electrical tape or plaster, wrapping it in fabric or wrapping it with thread. This will help avoid tearing the fabric again.
There are times when repairing a bra with a missing wire is quite problematic, since there is not enough fabric to sew up the tear. Then the knitting needle is cut so that the edges of the hole meet and can be mended. Don't worry, shortening the wire will not affect the shape of the bra or the comfort of wearing it.
Important! To avoid damage, it is recommended to wash your underwire bra by hand or in a special bag or plastic container at low speed. After all, it is during washing that the bone most often damages the fabric, which sooner or later will lead to rupture of the fabric and the release of the sharp edge of the metal bone.
Step by step how to fix a bra if an underwire has come out
There are times when a knitting needle comes out at the most inopportune moment, and there is no needle and thread at hand to sew it up. In such cases, it is worth using other quick repair methods.
Using a callus patch
If a knitting needle came out in a public place, or there is no time to fix it, you should resort to this method.
Step 1: Place the bone in place.
Step 2. Cut a small piece of the patch.
Step 3. Use it to seal the hole where the knitting needle came out.
For emergency repairs Any plaster will do, however, preference should be given to a fabric plaster. It's more durable.
Attention! This method is temporary and does not guarantee that the bone will not come out again. Therefore, it is important not to put off repairing your bra, but to have it sewn up as soon as possible.
Scotch tape
Another emergency repair method. Suitable for those who do not have a plaster on hand, but it is still not possible to mend a bra.
All you need for this is a small piece of tape, which we will use to seal the hole from the bone that was previously inserted into place.
Container for washing a bra in a washing machine
For greater fixation of the bone, you should glue the tape in several layers. However, you should avoid creasing the tape, which can scratch and injure the delicate skin of the breast.
Glue
What else can you do? Using a glue gun, fill the hole with glue, and while it is hot, press the fabric to the knitting needle, so that the glue holds them together. This method is very effective, and after it there is no need to mend the bone. But when it hardens, the glue becomes hard and can cause discomfort.
Hand wash bras and line dry
Replacing iron bones with plastic ones
If this is not the first time a knitting needle has come out, It’s worth thinking about replacing it with less traumatic fabric, plastic. These can be purchased online or at some fabric stores.
However, it is worth remembering that plastic underwires do not provide as much breast support as metal ones, so this option is not suitable for those with large breasts.
The right bra
To avoid problems with bra underwire, you should buy only high-quality lingerie that is the right size and shape for you.

I have an idea! I give it to bra manufacturers. It is necessary to make bones of a slightly different design: - small holes must be made at the ends of the bone, through which you can then easily and very reliably fix this restless bone almost forever, like a button! Thus, even an overly naughty bone can easily be tamed during wear. The husband said that if the bone had been a little wider, he himself would have been able to make a hole in the bone so that he could then sew it tightly through this hole.
Sometimes it breaks in the center, and then problems cannot be avoided.
Great idea!
“The situation will not repeat itself.”
I remind you of the Russian language rule for writing b:
We need to ask the question: “What will the situation do?” If there is no b at the end after the letter T in the question, then there should not be one in the answer. “The situation will not repeat itself.”
I once had an underwire in one of my busts with holes on both sides. I only remembered this yesterday when I once again saw a bone on my favorite underwear. And before I didn’t even realize what the holes were on them for)))
Laura, great idea!
Laura, good idea. I'll go get my bra repaired.
We need to come up with attachments, “plastic caps” for the tips of the bones.
