How many bras do you own?

I have:

2 sports (only need one!)
2 black (which I don't wear any more as have no black tops!)
5 everyday, 3 of which need replacing, the other 2 won't last long

Ordered a few to try and saw some then saw M&S, six of which fit well. Trying to work out how many I really need!

4 the same-all Bravissimo and fit me brilliantly (they have stopped making this one!).
One black
One nude
One black and green
One pink
One black strapless
One Molke

2 nude and 3 black underwired.
3 moulded (predominantly black)
3 sleep bras

Two black, one white, one nude strapless and a sports bra that fit perfectly.

One black and one white that the back is too big but I can get away with.

Mintjulia · 16/07/2019 15:06

2 sports, 6 every day pale. One black, one strapless,

Oblomov19 · 16/07/2019 15:13

Goodness. I only have about 2 favourites! Shock
And a few old ones in the drawer if I ever got desperate.

JAC1994 · 16/07/2019 15:42

About 9, all with matching knickers. Always wear matching underwear.

Pirisprinkles · 16/07/2019 16:04

4 everyday and 8 sports

Stumpedasatree · 16/07/2019 16:11

Several. Around 25. A lot don't fit well though, gaping cups!

RezCowgirl · 16/07/2019 19:01
  1. Total
2 sports 2 black
WindsweptEgret · 16/07/2019 19:05

Two everyday bras and a sports bra

feesh · 16/07/2019 19:06

Two nude and one black. That’s it!

Bubbletrouble43 · 16/07/2019 19:40

I only have two that fit as I keep changing size after pregnancies and we are skint and I'm booby and have to wear decent bras. Curvy kate, 1 black , 1 nude

Shodan · 16/07/2019 19:50

Loads Blush

Sports bras (high impact and low impact)
'Comfort' bras (like crop tops but with a bit more shape)
Strapless bras in cream, white, nude and black.
Black bras, patterned bras, red bras, pink bras, white bras, even an ill-advised pale green one...the list is endless.
Longline bras.

The only thing they all have in common (apart from size, obvs) is that they're all slightly padded.

Some are for specific outfits and some are only ever worn really when sex is on the agenda later Grin

I still hate wearing bras though.

Myriade · 16/07/2019 19:53

3 and that’s enough that I never run out.
Threads like this give me bras envy...

Leftielefterson · 16/07/2019 19:54

I have got about 25 which is ridiculous really. Some are just functional everyday wear and others are lingerie for when I can be arsed to impress my DP.

KatharinaRosalie · 16/07/2019 20:03

I was never able to wear pretty bras when I was younger, as apparently size like mine either 'didn't exist' or existed only in granny bras that looked like they were designed as anti-missile protective armour for Soviet Army.
Luckily I know that I'm not a 36DD and many bra manufacturers have now discovered that 30FF is not such a freakish size. So I'm making up lost time.

SnugglySnerd · 16/07/2019 20:08
  1. None of them fits comfortably. I have never found one that does despite all bra shops agreeing on my size. If I ever find a comfy one I will buy about 10!
XingMing · 16/07/2019 20:14

Three nude, two black, one white and two sports bras, plus an emergency last resort sports bra that I've loved for yonks but is dying.

KatharinaRosalie · 16/07/2019 20:18

Snuggly Bravissimo as well or just M&S and similar?

GinGeum · 16/07/2019 20:21

None Blush

Senoritaforever · 16/07/2019 20:27

Loads. Must be at least 30 but usually wear the same two t-shirt bras for comfort.

catofdoom · 16/07/2019 20:42
  1. A black, a nude and a white. I used to have loads but then I got fat and I've no intention of staying this fat so refuse to buy more. Sad
HeyLala · 16/07/2019 20:46

I love underwear, so I have about 30 bras. All colours each with 2 pairs of matching knickers.

I have about 15 sports bras but I do yoga every day so only wear once.

I have recently bought some soft Bralet types but prefer more support.

Twillow · 16/07/2019 20:54

4 - non-underwired comfy sports bra for work, underwired black for the rest of the time. (I don't have many white tops fortunately!)

And 2 others which cost a lot but aren't comfortable so I hardly ever wear them!

Sarcelle · 16/07/2019 21:10

3 nude coloured one
2 white ones
1 black one
4 sports bras
