Bras

AIBU to ask you about you bras?

How many days do you generally wear them before washing?

How many do tend to own, especially bigger sized ladies, that tend to cost a small fortune for a decent one!

And finally hand wash or bung in the machine?

Brastop is excellent value for bigger sizes. They often have sales on. I'm a 38h and rarely spend more that £25 on a bra

About every 3 days and they go in the machine. Nothings happened yet

Usually wear my bras a couple of times before handwashing but in this weather just once.

My bras are handmade so I always hand wash them. I baulked at doing it but it's easy - just dump them in a sink of luke warm water with some "soak" handwashing liquid. Leave them to soak for about 10 minutes then give them some "agitation" and leave for a bit longer. Then hang to dry

I don't know how many I have, sorry.

I wear mine probably 3 days then wash unless particularly hot. Sports bra would be washed every time but not exercising at the moment.

I have a favourite black one and a favourite nude one and swap depending what clothes I'm wearing so probably only wash once a week but not worn for 7 days if that makes sense.

Also put into the machine and dryer and never had issues with wear and tear. I work full time and don't have time for hand wash etc

My latest have been Curvy Kate from Next. I like plain ones/T-shirt bras so not sure if the style makes a difference. Think they are about £40. I'm 38H at the moment. Previously 32J but put on weight. Mine last ages, probably put grow them before I need to throw them out.
