How old are your bras?

My favourite bras are about 7 years old and the wires are coming out but they fit me the best and can no longer get the same brand!

AIBU to carry on wearing them regardless? How often do you buy new bras?

Most years, have none that old. I put them on the recycling bags for cloth when they lose shape/colour.

I'm an H/J cup, I cling onto bras as long as I can, and mend them if possible.

I had to chuck four bras, and it was genuinely so annoying to see £100 of clothing go knowing I needed to replace them.

i don’t wear bras regularly but i have few- two i bought this year and one my mum bought me from bravissimo which is the only bra that actually fits me well!

I buy Primark/asda bras and replace them about every two years. I sometimes sew the wires back into favourite ones. My DD has Gossard bras which are about seven years old and still going strong. She also goes through Primark bras about every two years.

I have had mine about 15 months. Wear 4 of them on rotation (a clean one every day) and hand wash them.

They are elomi ones though and at £42 a bra they still look very good!

Replace mine every year. Hate tatty bras. Am small busted so basic M and S and H and M do for me, so not as expensive as for some.

All relatively new as I've had 2 pregnancies / breastfeeding in past 4.5 years so they've changed size a lot

If they age in dog years mine are oap's.

Mine are legally allowed to drink in a pub.
Or they would if the pubs were open.
I'm not looking forward to them lurching home at 1am completely hammered though.

I buy ex-M&S bras from Ebay and replace every 1-2 years, depending on colour. I usually pay around £6-7.
