How many bras do you own and how often do you change them and wash them ?

[Menopausio]

Came up in conversation with a friend who is now saying Im strange 🙄. I live in Southern Europe, in the winter I wear a bra for 1-2 days, in the summer I tend to change every day/ sometimes twice a day. I usually have 10-12 bras on rotation.
Friend says 4-5 days is fine and Im a clean freak.

@Brightbluestone "I can’t believe most people change their bras every day! The only time I’ll not wear a bra again without washing it is the ones I wear to the gym. Regular days I go at least a week without washing my bra. I have about 4 I actually wear regularly. Am I gross?"

Same here and I actually only own 4 bras too.

I'll also add that my bras smell nicer when I take them off after 3 days or so of wear than they did when I put them on clean.

I think a few days of body butter/deodorant/perfume builds up and they usually smell amazing when it's time to put them in the laundry pile 😁

Same, but I was too scared to say 🤣🤣🤣

I have 4 bras, I wear them for one whole day or two half days and I never wear one indoors.

In summer daily, winter every two or three days. I have 4 (recently got a three pack from m and s!)

I'm totally with you.
Change approx weekly. More often in summer if sweaty.
36e and never had a rash, smells or any weirdness.

I salute everyone that changes their bra much more than me! Am not a very sweaty person and nobody has ever complained of a smell. Even my gym bras I get a few days wear out of. I realise am in the minority but it’s what I have always done

🤣
good one

Re washing mine it totally depends on the weather really.

When we actually have hot weather or when on hols i'll wear a fresh one daily. More for the bras sake than smells. I mean i know i sweat in the heat even if i don't get smelly, and i imagine over time, if left, sweat does degrade the elastic.

Every other day in winter; daily in summer. I have about 8 in regular rotation.

I only have 2 at the moment as Ive just lost 5 stone. My bras are quite expensive because Im older and need decent support.
I'll get more when Ive lost the last half stone.
I only change them every few days because I have small boobs and dont sweat. Possibly more in summer if it's hot.
Im afraid I put them in the washing machine to die. I cant be bothered with hand washing. They go into little washing bags on a short cold wash.

You are probably about as gross as me. Around 4-5 days here unless I have sweated.

I’m definitely gross! I’ve got about 4 or 5 every day bras and I wear them for days and days without washing, on days I don’t get sweaty. In the summer when it’s hot, if I sweat then yes I will change daily. I’ve got about 6 or 7 sports bras as I workout 4-5 times a week and those get changed every time because they get sweaty.

On non sweaty days, I sniff them and they don’t smell, they’re nowhere near my armpits really?! And my under boobs don’t sweat unless it’s a hot day and I’m getting sweaty! I also don’t change t shirts every day if the armpits don’t smell. How much are people sweating just going about their normal lives?!

I absolutely change knickers and socks every day. Socks get walked around on the floor at home so even if they’re not sweaty, they need a wash.

No wonder people have no time. Spend less time doing laundry!

Neither do mine.
Maybe it depends on what people are actually doing if their bras smell after one wear....or obviously if someone sweats a lot they will pong a bit.

I do tend to take mine off as soon as I get home, and if I could, I would discard them altogether.

No, you’re normal.

No, I change mine weekly too. I don't have big boobs so not sweaty. I wash my running bras every other run though as they do get more sweaty!

I’m as gross as you! I happily wear my bra several days if just for work or being at home. It honestly doesn’t smell at the end of the day!

I was bra shopping last week. A poster in bravissimo suggested 2 weeks between washings is fine. I have low standards and that seemed a push even for myself!

I have several but most don’t fit (my weight fluctuates quite a lot), so I have three I wear regularly. Two wears (unless I get sweaty them one). If I’m not going out that day I don’t wear one at all.

I only have five....bras aren't cheap! I will wear them for 2-3 days most of the year but if I'm sweaty (exercising, or in the height of summer) I'll change them every day.

I only have one right now. The underwire poked through the other one and I haven't got around to replacing it.

I probably wear it for a week, but also only about 20 hours because I only put it on when I'm leaving the house, and I'm rarely out for long (I don't work anymore.)

Ghastly things, I hate them.

ABCC11 gene. Normally associated with Japan/ east Asia, but randomly pops up in other populations.

I've not used deodorant since i was a teen, i started using it then as i felt that i was supposed to, but never understood the point of it so stopped using it and haven't used it for 30 years.

ihav3 three

3 pull on bra tops, 3 underwired bras

I wear 2 of each per week on daily rotation, undermine for werk, pull on for home, allotment etc.

Weekends I change to the 3rd of each and wash the others, if I get my timings wrong I have a tatty bra that will do for Sundays
