To ask how many bras you wear in a week?

[OriginalGeordie]

Please help settle an argument? My 13 yr old has just asked me for more bras, she has 6 (plus a sports bra) so 7, and likes to change them and wash them after each wear. I think this is utterly ridiculous, I change mine every 2/3 days, she thinks i’m minging.

To complicate it she’s a small back but already in an F cup so it’s quite difficult and expensive to get a bra for her. So just wondering what everyone else does?

[KindergartenKop]

I have two favourite bras and wear them for ages without washing, which is gross. I also have another bra to wear under white tops but I don't like it as much. 7 is loads.

[Freyanna]

I wear a fresh one ever day.

[BarbaraOcumbungles]

A beige one and a black one on rotation depending on what I’m wearing. I guess I might wear one 4 time before washing it.

Bras for teenagers are dirt cheap in primark though. Maybe you could make her do her own washing so she appreciates what a pain in the arse it is washing clean clothes!

[PinkHeart5914]

I change mine everyday but I am breastfeeding at the moment so imo they need changing each day.

When not breastfeeding I wear 2-3 a week and a sports bra when I go running and that is washed after each wear.

[WorldWideWanderer]

I have a clean bra every single day. It's worn next to your skin so should be changed every day as you will sweat into it. Your daughter is correct, changing a bra every 2-3 days really is minging.

I have lots of bras, about a dozen black and a dozen white as some clothes require a dark bra and some a light one....

[BarbaraOcumbungles]

Missed then but about the f cup. I’m an FF/G and find Asda the best for bigger bras. Their £4 T-Shirt bras are great.

[agedknees]

A fresh one every day. If I am going out in the evening I put a fresh bra on.

Wearing for more than one day is minging.

I have something like 30 black bras (to go with black pants for every day wear) that doesn't include coloured sets, sports or multi-way etc. I may not wash mine every wear but I believe in airing them after one day's use.

If you're struggling to find the right size cheap enough have you looked at sister sizes?

[upsideup]

I change mine everyday because I shower everyday and dont understand now people can shower and then put the clothes back on that they were wearing before they showered.
Even with 6 though, is the first one she wears not washed by the time its the 7th day?

[NotCornflakes]

I wear the same bra all week or longer.

[RedForFilth]

I agree with her! Minimum one per day. Same as my pants, anything else and I'd feel like I was a bit gross. I have a small back but G cup and second asda, they last ages, provide support and are cheap. I think she should be allowed a clean one every day bless her, especially being a teenager as they sweat more etc.

[OliviaBenson]

I'm with you here. If she wants one, she can earn it by doing extra jobs etc for pocket money.

[Bluelady]

I have a clean one every other day. Nice to know I'm minging! Can't she hand wash her bras every couple of days if she wants a clean one every day?

[TheHumanMothboy]

Fresh every day, DD too (she has four sports bras, four normal, because they do games regularly at school).
They'd be whiffy otherwise, but maybe we're sweatier than other people?

[Onlyoldontheoutside]

3 days or so but that is because I am having problems getting new comfortable ones.I have different day and going out underwear though.

[MsAwesomeDragon]

I wear mine a few times before washing, because I only have 3 that fit and can't really afford to buy loads. Mine cost approx £30 each as they are really a feat of engineering, and the cheap ones don't fit properly or last anywhere near as long.

If I could get bras that fit more cheaply then I'd wash them after every wear like knickers and socks, but I can't, so I wear them a few times.

[RedSkyAtNight]

2 or 3 a week unless I get particularly sweaty (when I'd change more frequently). Swap into a sports bra for anything sporty. 7 bras sounds plenty - presumably if OP's DD is old enough to wear a bra, she is old enough to operating the washing machine if she wants them washed more frequently.

[PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks]

3 or 4, I change every 2 days.

[VodkaRevelation]

Every 3-4 days. Might be minging but I only have a couple and I wouldn’t wear them if they smelled.

[PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks]

I have the opposite problem with size, I'm a 40AA, which you just can't buy in supermarkets. I buy crop tops.

[HeedMove]

I wear whatever goes with my outfit. Tends to be either nude, black or white. I have a red too. And three or four sports bras.

My 13 year old has a nude, pink, white, turquoise and black and couple of sports bras.

They only get washed after a few wears.

[dalmatianmad]

I have a loads of bras and have a clean one every day and then another if I'm going out at night.
It wouldn't occur to me to wear a bra twice

[Longislandicetee]

Ewww. I am with your daughter. I wear a fresh one each day.

[PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks]

PinkHeart if you use breast pads, you shouldn't need to change your bra every day while bfing.

[Oblomov18]

2 posters think that unless fresh every day, it's "minging"
