To have one bra?

[MumApr18]

So this has never occurred to me as strange, but it has just been pointed out to me that I might not have this right!

I have one bra which fits. I wear it a couple of days, wash while I'm in the house and don't need to wearing it, and then it goes straight back on again. Is that unreasonable? I have gym bralette type things but day to day, the one bra has never failed me....

Who are these adult women that have drawers full of different shapes/sizes of bras that they all wear regularly? My weight fluctuates so I would be spending a fortune if I splashed out on a new bra wardrobe every time I needed one!

One black lace, one black smooth (wear nearly every day), one nude smooth, one nude strapless, two sports bras - so 6 in total.

That is a bit odd.

I have about seven, different colours/styles.

I have a couple in black a couple in nude. I don't do a wash every day so need the spares.
If you've found a brand you like get a fee of them because you never know when they'll discontinue it!

2 nude, 1 black, 1 spotty, 1 hot pink, 1 bright blue, 2 sports bras.

I have quite a few, but that is because there always some of them are happily waiting for their turn to have a wash with their own’s colour.

I've only got two, if I wanted more I would buy them.

I have 7. One for each day x

I have 5 but they're the same bra in different colours. Nothing else is as comfortable. One bra is a little strange I would think 2 is a minimum.

That's odd. I have about 5 that fit well and I wear regularly, which I didn't think was many.

I got loads of bras but only wear 2 of them. I've wasted so much money buying bras I don't wear some still have the tags on.

For the people saying yuk, op says she washes her bra every couple of days

But how do you match it to your underwear? And your outfits?

I have three. I wear one for two days then get a clean one. Works fine for me...shower every morning and a clean top every day.

How long does it take to wash and dry your bra? 3 hours? What if you need to go out? Do you go braless? I couldn’t do that with my big floppy pair!

I think I have about 12 sets, usually have two matching knickers per bra in case I want to wear the bra two days before washing. Also have a few bralet types. I'm not sure why you wouldn't buy even just one more.

One seems very organised! And consistent in terms of the type of clothes you wear?

I have 4 t-shirt bras, 2 black and 2 nude
2 regularly worn bralets
An unknown number of fancier bras that languish sadly in the back of my underwear drawer, wondering what they’ve done wrong.

I have 3 plus a sports bra. One on, one currently on the line and one in the drawer. At FF I wear one all day every day, and there's no way I'm putting them in the washing machine so they take longer to dry as not spun. I'm a tricky size so I can't buy cheap bras, I have to make them last!

I would have thought it was a good idea to have more than one bra. At least have a spare in case ... of something, I'm not sure what! I have a few but usually wear the one I like best which is the most comfortable and goes under most clothes. My other bras are neglected and jealous of 'star bra' but get the occasional wear.

2 Black, 2 white, 1 nude, 2 coloured ones and 2 t shirt bras, for when I don’t want my cold nipples showing through a nice top, in white & black.

I have two, but only because I haven’t had time to go and get remeasured for new ones. (Lost tons of weight). I couldn’t live with one bra. 🤣

That's a bit grim in summer. I have daily underboob sweat so change each day from May-August. This means I need about 3.

Wow

Do you have the one only rule for other clothes items as well?

If I only had one I think it would need to be a nude coloured t-shirt bra.

That goes under everything safely.

I have 3 x nude, 5 x white, 1 x black with corresponding coloured knickers of course, and then about 25 sets of pretty matching underwear sets.

I wear the same one. I have others, exactly the same, but like old jeans, this is the comfiest. I o ok not wear another one in desperation!

I don't think it's that unusual OP.

This sounds like an awful lot of hassle when you could just buy a couple more to alternate.
What about when you need a black/nude/strapless one?
