haha I go 4-5 days with bras too!! A cami I will wear twice before washing (as long as I wasn't outside/sweaty!)

Camis, only once. Bras are a different story... Usually I'll wear them a week or more before washing.

I only wash my bras every week or up to 10 days. I'm home all the time and only wear bras when I go out so they don't get sweaty or dirty.

I think there was a similar thread that was started awhile back and I responded that I only wear my bra once prior to washing. Kind of thought bras were the same as undies, but other posters commented they re-wear their bras multiple days prior to washing and I was like WOW!! made since if we didn't do anything strenuous and it was clean. Plus, not washing it frequently prolongs the bra's lifespance. Since that thread, I've worn my bra 2-3 times prior to it getting washed.
Cami's, I wear them a few times prior to washing depending on how much I sweat or where I've been.

Uhhhh I wear my bras for almost a month before washing them. LOL. But I do rotate between 3-4 bras, so I'm not wearing the same one each day. But still... kinda gross.

I usually go 10-14 days between washing for my bras, but I rotate between several so if you average it out, it's probably about 4-5 wearings per bra between washes. Camis I'll wash every 1-2 wears, depending on what I was doing and how gross I got.

Huh. I did not know that people went so long. I'm usually 3-4 times and then in the wash.

So many people wear camis! That doesn't provide remotely enough support for me if I am awake and doing any sort of movement.
I wash bras 1x a week.

Usually 3-4 times before washing. I just never felt that they get that "dirty" since I don't sweat that much. Plus it's UNDER your clothes!

I'm a couple times cami wearer before I wash . But my bras...oh Lawd lol... I'll go a couple weeks probably but I rotate between a few of them.

In the winter I'll go longer, but it's so hot here and I sweat just stepping outside for a few seconds, so I only wear it once.

@chopsuey119: I used to wear my regular bras many times before washing, like you. But now that I'm a milk factory I almost have to change them before 24 hours is up!!! LO is sometimes a messy eater and I'm a leaker, so even when I'm really careful I am so done with my bra either by the night or the next morning. I only have 3 nursing bras, so I have to make sure I do laundry often enough so I don't run out!

A cami, usually once (especially nursing tanks) but bra's are more like a week. Sleeping nursing bra's go in the wash every 2 days.

I'm with @Mrs. Superhero on this one.....but I DO wear clean underware everyday, if that counts towards anything.

Prebaby I washed camis after one wear (maybe two wears at most) but I washed bras after 2-3 wears...I rotated through them
Now that I am breastfeeding I wash camis and bras after one wear bc I also leak a tiny bit and they just kind of feel stretched out. I am looking forward to getting more wear out of my bras once I'm done nursing LO

I don't have a washer or dryer, so, when we do laundry. So....every few weeks.
papaya / 10560 posts
lately i've been really lazy with the bras...i hate wearing real bras and love the VS yoga bras...so maybe like every week when I do laundry on Sunday?

@Mrs. Superhero:/@Mrs. Tricycle: Haha ditto!
In my defense, with the exception of a nightly walk with DH, I'm home nearly all day every day.

I'm so happy to read some of your responses! I would say I go at least 2 weeks with my bra "rotation." I have 3 so that still equals out to about 5 or so days per bra, but still... I never know what the norm is

Heh. I don't wanna answer this question.
While pregnant though, I am so sweaty under the boobs so I throw them in with Wagon Jr.'s laundry each week.
I have two really nice bras by Chantelle that I hand wash with lingerie soap after 2 wears each. Only because they were so expensive!!

I would be curious about bra size compared to length of wears.
I am also an infrequent washer/rotate a few person, but I am an A cup and don't really get boob sweat, ya know? My SILs are slightly better endowed than I, you could say, and they wash very frequently.

I was going to post my answer but then I read everyone elses answers and I'm a little embarrassed. I'll just stick with @Mrs. Superhero: @Mrs. Tricycle: and skip it.

@highwire: I wear camis/tanks WITH a bra
umm since I have only 3 nursing bras it's not as often as I used to. I will often go 5 days of one bra, unless I leaked a lot of milk - then I wash more often.
Since I've had thrush though, I've had to wash them after each use.
When I wasn't nursing, I had 10+ bras, and I would wear them only 2-3 times before washing.
