How many hooks should a bra have?

Why do some bras have more hooks?

Each bra comes with multiple hooks to extend the life of your bra. When a bra is brand new, its fitted to the loosest hook. As time goes by, the elasticity in the band of the bra weakens. As this happens, you move to the middle hook so it fits you like it did when it was new on the loosest hook.
