Chelsea Handler Just Gave A Tutorial For How To Use A Bra As A Mask, And It Actually Works Surprisingly Well

Chelsea Handler Just Gave A Tutorial For How To Use A Bra As A Mask, And It Actually Works Surprisingly Well

According to new CDC regulations, it's now highly recommended not only to socially distance and wash our hands, but to also wear a face mask whenever we absolutely have to go out in public.

Fortunately for all of us, comedian Chelsea Handler came up with a solution that not only technically works, but can make us laugh.


The problem with wearing masks at this point is their availability.

Much like toilet paper and bottled water, masks are becoming harder to find in stores, forcing many people who may not have the greatest sewing skills to come up with their own.

When creating a mask, the CDC recommends using two or more layers of cloth, made from items in the home, that completely cover the face. The mask also needs to tie behind the head or loop around the ears.

Luckily for Handler, someone came up with the suggestion that a bra fulfills those requirements. Handler hopped onto Instagram and shared her version of the bra mask.

Handler opened her brief video with:

"Hey, for those of you who are in a bind and need a face mask but don't have one, you could just take one of your bras."

She then demonstrates how she uses one of the cups to cover her face, followed by looping the rest of the bra around her neck under her chin, before finally hooking it at the back of her head.

Despite how funny this may look, the thick fabric and full coverage will work. Also, since we already know bras are washable, we don't have to worry about the integrity of the "mask" breaking down each time it's washed, which was the final CDC requirement.

Needless to say, the comedian's fans and colleagues thought the video was a riot.

Some took it pretty seriously, though, and asked if they could borrow a bra from someone else.

During strange times like these, we're all going to have to practice a little ingenuity at one point or another.

At least we now know one more way to keep our faces covered, so we can move on to solving other concerns.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
