Me... daily in summer and a couple of days in winter, unless something makes me hot.

Bra everyday.. I thought that’s what we were meant to do tbh

OhHeyBabe · 24/04/2023 19:08

Everyday

saveforthat · 24/04/2023 19:08

Unless I get hot and sweaty, I wear mine for 3-4 days.

Suzi888 · 24/04/2023 19:09

Every day.

ImAGoodPerson · 24/04/2023 19:10

Every day?? I had no idea you were supposed to change it that often. I'm not sure that's necessary.

NuffSaidSam · 24/04/2023 19:10

It's Mumsnet! Everyone is changing their bra everyday. See also PJ's, towels, bed sheets and all clothes. Anything that touches their daily showered bodies is immediately dense with germs obviously.

Dirty old bunch the Mumsnet community!

SirChenjins · 24/04/2023 19:10

Every few days unless I’m sweating a lot - I don’t perspire much at all

CindersAgain · 24/04/2023 19:10

Mine need hand washing so they get washed a lot less than they should.

Okunevo · 24/04/2023 19:11

Once a week unless I get hot and sweaty before then.

Findyourneutralspace · 24/04/2023 19:12

Sports bra after each wear, normal bra every couple of days

MrsRinaDecker · 24/04/2023 19:12

Ummm… Blush I alternate between them depending on what I’m wearing, but I’d say they definitely get washed less than the mumsnet average!

Cakencookieobsessed · 24/04/2023 19:12

About every 2/3 days. I am big boobed but don't sweat a lot under my boobs when the weather isn't hot. In summer I will change it every day.

NeonBoomerang · 24/04/2023 19:13

I tend to wear mine for a day then switch to another and air the first one, iyswim. I handwash mine (game changer and actually stops them falling apart!) and tend to wash three or four together not all that often.

starfishmummy · 24/04/2023 19:14

About every 4 hours. Doesn't everyone Grin

Motheranddaughter · 24/04/2023 19:15

Every day

RampantIvy · 24/04/2023 19:18

Every 3 - 4 days. I am modestly proportioned and don't have any underboob to get sweaty.

I don't think washing bras too frequently is good for them anyway.

NetZeroZealot · 24/04/2023 19:18

Every 3 days.
This is normal.

I once read about a fancy lingerie brand that sold sets made up of 3 pairs of knickers & one bra. Enough for 3 days.

CamsPaisleyCuffs · 24/04/2023 19:23

Every day. But I'm one of those weirdos that only wears matching bra and pants sets. Yes, even on days I'm not leaving the house and slouching around in a pair of tatty old joggers. Nice lingerie is my treat.

Everything goes in net bags on a delicate cycle. If it doesn't survive, it wasn't meant to be.

MrsMoastyToasty · 24/04/2023 19:27

2 days in winter and one day in summer. I make them last longer in winter because I hand wash them and allow them to drip dry.

SamMil · 24/04/2023 19:29

Probably after approx 3-4 days of use, but I alternate bras depending on outfit.

Sports bras I wash after every use.

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 24/04/2023 19:30

Every day.

ChiChaNaYubi · 24/04/2023 19:31

When it drags itself to the basket!

No idea tbh. I only own 2.

allthegoodusernameshavegone · 24/04/2023 19:31

I can go weeks without changing

Ir alternatively people have different bodies and different standards of what they are comfortable with.
