This bra has changed the lives of women living with a disability 🧵 | ABC Australia

Rachel Whittaker didn’t necessarily understand the mechanics of a bra 15 years ago, but out of necessity she's created an undergarment she calls an "engineering feat".

Ms Whittaker discovered bras were assembled from 25 parts and ones which opened on the side were better for people with limited mobility.

The mother of two, who lives on the New South Wales far south coast, has sold thousands of accessible bras to people with disabilities and those with limited mobility since opening an NDIS-registered online store four years ago.

"When you know that you've changed someone's life for the better, just by doing something as simple as that, it just means the world."
