"I've been wearing a bra since I was 11. At 34, I discovered the 'scoop and swoop'."

Guys. There’s a bra-fitting technique called the ‘scoop and swoop’ and your boobs will never be the same.

Twitter user Aminatou Sow (@aminatou) shared her experience of trying the technique for the first time as a 34-year-old, and the writer and podcast host called herself a “changed woman”.

“34 years old. Been wearing a bra since I was 11 and I was yesterday years old when someone taught me about scoop and swoop,” she wrote in a tweet that’s since attracted hundreds of likes.

It was the public service announcement we all needed.

Mia Freedman talks about how she found the right bra after years of wearing one that was too small for her. It happens. Post continues below.

Pray tell, what is this ‘scoop and swoop’ method?

We were confused at first too, but stay. with. us.

The key benefit of the ‘scoop and swoop’ method is to ensure your breast tissue is completely sitting front and centre in your bra, and nowhere else.

To exercise this technique you must…

1. Put on your bra as normal and secure the hooks at the back.

2. Slightly pull the armpit facing side of the bra band outwards with one hand and use the other hand to cup your boob (the scoop) and move it away from your pits and into the centre (the swoop). If you were doing this on your left boob, then you would be using your left hand to hold the band and the right to manoeuvre the boob, and vice versa. The objective of this is to get all your breast tissue to sit nice and snug in your bra cup.

3. Repeat on the other side and marvel at your results.

4. Extoll the benefits of this technique to the rest of the sisterhood.

In fact, it’s so effective at bringing ‘the girls’ front and centre that it could change your cup size. Now that they’re sitting in the cup of your bra – and not getting trapped by the band – you might notice that you might need a larger cup to accommodate the extra boobage.

Your boobs should also look perkier and feel more secure, comfortable and happy sitting in the cups.

A win on all fronts.

Does it actually work?

According to the professionals, 100 per cent. Dozens of comments also spoke to the efficacy of the technique.

I fit a 68 year old once and put her in a new size, she was like “this doesn’t fit” and I’m like “you need to scoop and swoop” and she just looked at me like ???? so I showed her and I don’t think I’ve ever changed someone’s life so much https://t.co/Md441eywDL

Not to be too dark but this method is how I discovered I had breast cancer, I was scooping my tits into place. Stay sexy and alive folks.

Every time I do this, I silently thank my mother who taught me this ~20 (?) years ago. Congrats!

And all this time, you thought that the discomfort was normal.
I’m sorry.

If you do this in a sports bra you may feel too sexy to be topless in a gym, but that should not stop you.

A bra fitter taught me but reaching her hand inside my bra and grabbing my breast without asking. I was very briefly horrified- and then immediately amazed.

Now you will need to buy bras 3-5 cup sizes bigger. The struggle. ????

Now go forth and try it yourself. It might just change your underwire game.
