Bras - how many????

[Yellowsubmarine55]

I'm in the midst of replacing my whole wardrobe thanks to a substantial weight loss and I'm kind of shocked how much stuff I've got. Just bagged 15 bras for instance 🤦‍♀️

Anyway how many do I really need - I thought 4 or 5 would do but not sure as in winter they don't dry as fast as in summer.

Thoughts?

I'd say 4 was enough, but it depends on how often you put on a clean one and how often you do the washing.

I have six, including one sports and one stick on.

I would have at least 3 basic: white, nude, black then add sports one, coloured ones whatever you need and go from there.

I’ve around 12 on the go. Different colours and shapes. Around 7-8 every day in white and beige and the rest in black, navy, floral, pink etc.

I have 4 and just bought a 5th as I haven’t bought one in years and Bravissimo put a advertisement through the letter box.

I've got one white, one black, one nude, one old one for when comfort is key, and two sports. Back in the day I would also have had a sexy one and maybe a strapless one but those days are long gone

I have about 10 regular bras and the same amount of sports bras.
But I change them after each wear and usually only do laundry once a week so figure I need a few!

I’ve got five everyday bras - four in a nude colour and one in red. They’re all expensive Chantelle ones, as post-babies I’m a slightly funny shape, and these ones fit really well. I wear each one about four times, as I don’t sweat much, then put them on a delicates wash.

I also have a few cheaper ones that are ok but not quite as good, plus a couple of sports bras.

I have only two styles, 5 of one and 8 of the other. I regularly travel and if it's hot I may shower and change midday.

I definitely go through one a day so I guess depends how often you do all the washing?

2 black, 2 white, 2 nude every day bras because that allows for 1 on and 1 in the wash no matter the outfit. 2 sports bras, again so I’ve got one if the other is washing. For occasion wear I have nude strapless and a black strapless to cover all outfits. Then couple of saucier numbers! So so probably about 12 in total.

I own 3 bras and 2 sports bras 😬

I have 4 including sports bra, but I need another one I think! I also have a body shaping thing with a built in bra for going out.

3 everyday bras, pink, beige and black. 2 sport bras, 1 strapless, and 2 racerback slip-over. So that's 8 total.

I tend to wear 3-4 times unless hot and sweaty.

I have four everyday, one sports and one multiway / strapless. Any more would bankrupt me - I am a 30JJ and they cost £40+ a pop. Mine dry quickly overnight even in winter but they don’t have any padding.

I've got three black, one nude, and two sports bras.

I also have a non wired black crop top type one for when I'm feeling "delicate".

Genuinely shocked at how few bras people have. I definitely have more than 20! Last time I went on holiday for a week I took more bras than some of you own! 😂

I could probably make do with about 12

3 black
3 nude
2 sports
2 special occasion
1 multiway
1 non wired

I have 1 black, 2 skintone and 3 sports bras. Sexy lingerie it isn't.

Do you have a widely available size, though? Those dozen bras would set me back around £600. If I could buy bras in M&S I’d have more!

I have about 25.. Some different styles and colours. But my everyday garden variety triumphs I only wear once before gently washing, and I wait until about eight need to be washed before I do it.

I find 2 or 3 everyday bras plus 1 sports bra does the job. They need replacing reasonably often as they are on regular rotation.

I also need a specialist size, so they are rather expensive. I would have far more if that were not the case.

I've got around twelve, I like to have them in different pretty colours, it makes me feel good

Yeah I’m 32D which I think is a very common size - and I buy almost all my bras in M&S! It didn’t even occur to me that M&S wouldn’t cater for all sizes tbh.

Not actually sure, I need to do a count (and probably a declutter) but at least 10. Most are from Sainsbury's (surprisingly good for everyday bras).

TBC honest my bra count would be higher if I had included my stretchy sleep bras and my underwired ones (that I never wear).

Also I managed to find my everyday bras on sale from 35 quid down to 4!
So of course I bought a load!😁
