Bra-Removing Contest Draws Competitors at Chinese Mall


(May 18) -- Since the dawn of women's apparel, men have been trying to score by unhooking brassieres. This contest, however, brings the game to a whole new level.

A Chinese shopping mall hosted a competition to find out who could unclasp bras the fastest using just one hand.

Competitors raced to undress a line of eight masked women who stood on a stage in the Guangzhou mall wearing bras and short-shorts.

A competitor tries to undo eight bras with just one hand in a contest held by a shopping mall in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, China on May 8.

Eager participants entered the contest to fulfill their dreams and have the chance to take home a mall gift certificate for 1,000 yuan -- about $146 -- according to AsianPopular.com.

Event organizers insisted the May 8 event didn't objectify women -- it educated men.

"The workings of a woman's bra are a mystery for many men -- this activity helped more people understand bra culture and explore its secrets," a mall spokesman told the Mumbai Mirror.

That might be the case, considering the fact that a female shopper took top honors by unclasping all eight bras in just 21 seconds.

The victor, who declined to give her name, said she might have had an unfair advantage over her male rivals, according to Fox Chicago.

"I didn't expect to win -- maybe it was because I get so much practice in my everyday life," she said.

This quirky contest in a Guangzhou shopping mall certainly caught everyone's attention! The event saw participants – both male and female – competing in a race to unclasp bras the fastest using just one hand. With women dressed in bras and short-shorts lined up on stage, the event was as much about curiosity as it was about breaking stereotypes. Interestingly, a female contestant took home the title by undoing all eight bras in just 21 seconds, humorously suggesting that everyday practice might give her an edge over male competitors.

According to organizers, the contest was intended as an educational “bra culture” lesson rather than objectifying women, and the winners even received a gift certificate worth 1,000 yuan (about $146). Whether this innovative approach truly served as an enlightening exploration of women’s apparel or just provided a few laughs remains up for debate. What do you think—did the event educate, entertain, or perhaps do a bit of both?
