How many bras do you own?

81 replies

beck1976 · 25/05/2024 01:04

I got re-measured about 18 months ago so then got rid of all my old bras that were the wrong size and started again. I seem to have so many now as I keep buying more I like 😂
different styles and colours, some plain comfy ones, some non wired, push up/plunge, t-shirt, strapless, the list goes on.
Plus bralettes too.
So I’ve counted 18 bras and 6 bralettes so far, and I still have my eye on another two.
Is anyone else as bad as me?

None. And hopefully never will

momager1 · 25/05/2024 01:08

at a guess..between bras and bralettes? probably 18 or so.. but I wear only 2 of them on a regular basis. I have two that are so comfy. The others are for specific outfits or just for a pretty bra once in a while. But you can pry my comfy two out of my cold dead hands .. They are the only ones I do not peel off (from under my top! ) the MINUTE I walk in the door

2
I wish I could afford that many!! They're really expensive

Precipice · 25/05/2024 01:14

4, I think.

I have 2 or 3 that I wear over and over also - black white and nude of the same bra - the others are sports and strapless and never as comfy as those 3 - when they die I will be sad and have to break in a new lot from m&s - it alike having a favourite gas burner isn't it!

Five.

JerkintheMerkin · 25/05/2024 02:43

Not as many as I'd like unfortunately. Good quality bras are so expensive. Last spent £90 on 3 of them.

JerkintheMerkin · 25/05/2024 02:44

And at that price you can forget matching knickers Grin

Neverpostagain · 25/05/2024 04:23

Seven. Three beige, three black and one stick on.

Xanadu58 · 25/05/2024 06:31

I have 2. Bras and underwear are all my dog seems to steal!!😅😅

ThePoshUns · 25/05/2024 06:34
  1. All boring and practical, can't be bothered with fancy underwear. Would rather spend on clothes that can be seen.
Bohemond23 · 25/05/2024 06:38

15-20 at least 5 bought recently on Vinted. I am a pretty standard M&S size and the Autograph ones go for £2-3 each.

marriednotdead · 25/05/2024 06:55

About a dozen, wear most of them regularly as I am apparently a weirdo for wearing a clean one every day.
They’re also expensive and I don’t have many styles that I find comfortable. Luckily I got some duplicates in a company warehouse sale- they average £40 each these days.

Purplecatshopaholic · 25/05/2024 07:00

Probably about a dozen, all matching sets. Bit of a waste really as since Covid I only wear them when I leave the house, lol.

Lokshen · 25/05/2024 07:17

Soooo many. I recently found the holy grail- a non wired bra that actually lifts and supports big boobies. So I bought 4. In my defence , I did then recycle 3 old baggy ones ..

StarlightLady · 25/05/2024 07:22

About 15. I buy 2 pairs of matching knickers with each new bra. That said, the knix are supplemented with others. Having said this, every bra l own has been bought in sales, nothing was full price.

l like my bras like I like to live my life, in full colour. There is no white (reminds me of school) or so called “nude” (‘makes my tits look like cardboard😀) in the drawer.

robinsnest1967 · 25/05/2024 07:39

lokshen which bra is this? I need one of those!

Universalrehearsal · 25/05/2024 07:44

I have about 30 in various sizes and regularly wear about 4 of them.

LaWench · 25/05/2024 07:47

About 6, only cheap ones from Asda George.

Mechanicalengineer · 25/05/2024 07:48

I bought two yesterday from Next and they were so badly sized I had to return them so I’m looking for a new bra shop!

i have 3 sports bras
2 black bras
2 white bras
and 1 jungle print push up bra that’s too push up and it basically means there are breasts on either side of my chin! So I never wear it but it’s very pretty fabric 😂😂😂

Id like 2 more

TokyoSushi · 25/05/2024 07:49

Own about 8, wear about 3.

toomanyjobsforonewoman · 25/05/2024 08:14

@robinsnest1967 I bet it's the triumph Doreen- the only bra supportive enough to hold up my 32H monstrosities 😂 ugly AF but god does it look great under clothes

Isabelle70 · 25/05/2024 08:19

I did have 5 all the same style that I have recently replaced with 3 in the same style again but bigger.
I will get a couple more when I see them on sale.

I’m in your “weirdo club” too. Clean bra every day. And l commit another crime, machine wash at 30c on a delicates setting. I put them in a lingerie bag in the machine though. Same for knickers.
