As a 65-year-old woman with a 46D bust size and arthritis in my hands, finding the right bra has always been a battle.
I can’t tell you how many bras I’ve bought and returned over the years. The hooks at the back? Impossible. Pull-over styles? Don’t even get me started. And front-closure bras for plus sizes? Well, they’re either too flimsy or designed for someone much smaller than me.
To be honest, I’d all but given up hope of finding a bra that worked for me. I want to share my honest review in the hope that I can also help an older woman like me find a easy front-closure bra.
How I Discovered the Smooth-On T-Shirt Bra
I was scrolling through Facebook (as you do), I came across an ad for an EASY-ON BRA It was marketed as a front-closure bra specifically designed for women like me: those with limited hand mobility, plus-size busts, and a real need for comfort. I saw words like “magnetic fasteners” and “pain-free dressing,” and I was intrigued.
I was sceptical, though. I’ve fallen for gimmicks before, and I’ve wasted enough money on bras that just didn’t deliver. But what caught my attention was Liberare’s money-back guarantee. They promised I could try it and return it if it didn’t work out, no questions asked.
That was enough to convince me to take the plunge.

My First Impressions:
When the bra arrived, I’ll admit, I felt a little overwhelmed. This was not your traditional hook-and-eye, and it certainly wasn’t a zipper. It was a magnetic fastener, I wasn’t sure how it worked, but thankfully, the box came with clear instructions.
The first time I tried it on, Ill admit, it took me three attempts to get the fastener right. It wasn’t difficult, It was just different. I wasn’t used to something so innovative and then once I got the hang of it, off I went - easy. By the third time I'd done it up, it felt so natural to do and I couldn’t believe how secure the magnetic fasteners were.
How It Felt to Wear
Right away, I could feel the difference. This bra wasn’t just easy to put on—it was supportive. The Smooth-On T-Shirt Bra provided a lovely lift without digging into my shoulders or sides. It was so comfortable that I almost forgot I was wearing it.
But what really blew me away was how it made dressing pain-free. It felt like the first time in years I didn’t have to twist, pinch, or struggle to get my bra on. I put it on without thinking twice, (I actually shocked myself that I did it without struggling. Honestly, I could have cried—it was such a relief.
The True Test: A Day in the Life
Of course, I wasn’t going to stop at just trying it on. I wanted to see how it held up during a busy day. I wore the bra to the shops, around the house, did some cleaning and even while relaxing with a book (I needed to test the comfort)
Here’s what I noticed:
- Comfort: The fabric felt soft and breathable, and I didn’t experience any itching or irritation or digging in. (Something most bras do for my bigger busts)
- No Popping Open: I worried the magnetic fasteners might come undone during the day, (Its magnetic right) BUT they held strong, even when I was reaching for items on high shelves.
I actually learnt that the magnets only glide the fastener into place, they actually lock together meaning they would never pop open unintentionally. - A Great Silhouette: Underneath my favourite T-shirt, the bra gave me a smooth and flattering shape. I felt confident, and everything stayed in place.
By the end of the week, I was sold. This wasn’t just a bra—it was a solution to a problem I’d been struggling with for years.
Final Thoughts
The Smooth-On T-Shirt Bra has changed my dressing experience as an older woman with a bigger bust. It’s supportive, comfortable, and most importantly, EASY - everything I needed. I no longer need to suffer through pain or frustration just to get dressed anymore.
If you’re a plus-size woman with limited hand mobility, such as arthritis like me, I cannot recommend this bra enough. Trust me, if it worked for me, it can work for you too.
