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!

At £100 a shot two is plenty thank you.

I'm breastfeeding so have 2 maternity bras. Shower and change every night.
Hand wash them in the bathroom sink and hang on a hanger to dry over night. ( This is how the lady at the bra shop told me to wash them)

I have a black bravissimo bra that I wear almost every day, with every outfit/dress.

When you actually really think about people really only need one black and one either nude or white?

It's choice. To have other colours. Choice. Not need.

I’m pregnant at the moment and only have one that fits

I keep meaning to get more but in 6 months I haven’t managed to yet

I wear it for a day or two then wash it and the day it’s being washed I just wear a stretchy crop top type thing

I have one bra! How is it yuck if you wash it?!
It’s bright pink.

When I was breastfeeding I had more though. I needed more frequent changes due to leakage and baby drool.

You couldn’t wear a white bra with a black top

Why?

I have two, one black and one beige. I only ever wear dark colours as white and cream makes my pale skin look awful and they are fine with whatever colour i wear.

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

I don’t really have outfits that require different bras!
They’re expensive! I have other things I’d rather buy!!

You couldn’t wear a white bra with a black top

Why not, if the top isn’t see through?

I don’t have that many but I have more than one!
Sports bra
Strapless bra
Black x1 (going out)
Nude x3 (everyday)

The fact that you only have one pair isn’t really a problem. It’s the fact that you only wash every couple of days. Therefore you must be taking them off to shower and putting them back on. I mean you wouldn’t put dirty knickers back on after showering would you, well I hope not

Yanbu. For me I have 3 bras but mostly wear only one of them, I keep it to a minimum as when I buy bras it is sods law that my boob size will change. I have lots of nearly new bras stashed away for this reason just incase I go down in size again.

I have more than 20 bras cluttering up my drawers, but tend to stick to wearing the same 2 or 3. I think it's admirable that you manage with one to be honest.

Personally I couldn't be not wearing a bra, even at home, I'm quite a large lady and it would be very uncomfortable. So if I only had one I would need to wash and dry it over night. I have four or five. They are all the same though except some are black and some are white. Oh, and a sports bra. I ought to have two sports bras really.

I have six of the same style - 3 nude, 3 black. Two racer-back style. One with convertible straps. Two sports bras. So, eleven total, I guess v

I have 12, a mixture of white, black and nude, plus a couple are strapless ones to wear with certain outfits.

I go to the gym most days in the morning and wear a sports bra. This goes in the wash after one wash so I have several (4-5). I shower and put on a clean bra. This bra is worn for 3/4 of a day and not when sweating so I wear it 2-3 times. I have about 20 to account for what sort of bra I want (plunge/push up/ minimise etc) and what I am wearing (black, nude, pretty colour). I have zero idea how life works with one bra. I guess you just wear it and get on with life without thinking about it.

Having just sorted my chest of drawers out, I have 4 basic bras, 1 multiway, 1 strapless, 2 sports and 6 bralets.

Plus 4 brand new with tags in a size smaller than me (no idea why or when I bought those!) which are going on eBay tomorrow.

i have two that i actually like to wear (same bra, x2) and that's only because these days i have the money to buy 2. in my younger years i have definitely had 1 bra in (very near) 365 day use

I have 25 bra and pant sets

I’ve just counted and I have 17 plus 2 sports bras (1blk, 1wh)

But I couldn’t spend the evening at home without a bra as I’d feel very uncomfortable.

10 are from matching sets and the others and generic black/white

I usually have 2 bras. I tend to buy a 2 pack every 6 months or so until they wear out then I'll just buy another 2 pack. I do a wash every day and wear each bra for 2 days before washing it so only having 2 has never bothered me. I bought some new maternity bras the other day though that came in a pack of three and now I feel like I have loads haha! I think only having one would annoy me but I've never needed more than two at a time so

I have 2 bras as they're too expensive to have lots. I wear them for a couple of days and then put them in the wash so they're dry by the time the other one is in the wash. Seems to work well.

as in one single bra?

wow
i have no less than 15

I have loads of bras and literally wear the same three in rotation. I have a favourite though and would just wear that all the time if I could.
