2! I wear them a few days before washing. Id wear them less if I had more. It's hard to find any I like.

3 nice underwire ones (I am at a G these days), a bravado seamless silk, and two cheapy target sleep ones. I usually wear them a full day and overnight and then hand wash but I leak a lot.

I had four nursing bras in my original size and three now that they've gone down.

Maybe ten. They're all I've been wearing for 18 months so I like choices! I rotate 3 or 4 through the week then wash. I don't leak any more but touching the straps all the time, I like to wash often.

I have 2 Bravado ones that are super comfy and 1 underwire Anita, but now that I am back at work, I only wear them on the weekends (and usually the Bravados.) I usually wear them 2-3 times before I wash them.

5 nursing bras - I will wear them 2 times but not consecutively (I read that tip somewhere) before washing

I've got one Bravado and I think 4-5 underwires. And I have 8 sleep bras now. I'm not wearing the underwires right now. I wear the sleep bras once and the Bravado a couple of times before washing.

3 + 3 nursing tanks (wear those at night). I wash them every 2-3 wears unless they're drenched in milk or spit up, then they go straight into the wash.

I wear a lot of nursing tanks. I wash them between every wear. I have 5 bras I think, and I wear them a few times.

4 regular and 2 sleep bras. I'll wear them 2-3 times before washing (in rotation) unless drenched in milk.

I have five of them and they were very helpful to me! Bravado are my favorite.

7 I think? I only wear them once, then wash them. They're all wireless Bravado bras. I've been nursing for almost a year now with no end in sight.

2 sleep bras that I wore 24/7 for the first while and 2 nice nursing bras with underwire. To be honest I don't wash them that often, definitely not every time I wear them. Maybe 1x/week??

5. I wear them one day and sometimes sleep in the same one, but they go in the wash after that.

I have two and wash them once or twice a week. I find it really difficult to find good, supportive nursing bras (g cup!) and haven't ever had a problem with leaking.

Wait...what are sleep bras? Are they different than regular nursing bras/

@stargal: I would call the sleep ones the ones that look like a sports bra and you push the fabric out of the way. I would call the "real" ones the kind with the clip where the cup folds down and there might be an underwire.
I had 2 real nursing bras and a few sleep ones. I didn't wear the real ones except if I was out of the house.

@Rainbow Sprinkles: haha glad you said it, I was going to post something similar!
And didn't know what sleep bras were til now.
My logic in two doesn't make sense, for the amount of time spent in them and their purpose, there's value in more, buuuut I'm a lame cheapo.

I had 3 cotton nursing bras (sleeping bras), 1 underwire one and 5 nursing tanks. I pretty much lived in my tanks for a year.

@Kemma: I found that Cake Lingere is good for especially large sizes (I'm a G as well). The bras are more structured, I find them slightly harder to pull down but they look and feel much nicer under clothes. They are pricey though, so I only have 2 and am trying to be careful with them.
