Hellobee Boards

I said other -

In the winter I wear them 3-4 times

In the summer I wear them once

I did read before that its fine to wear your bras a few times before washing but you are suppose to let it rest for 24 hours so the elastic has time to bounce back. So you wear bra A on Monday bra B on Tuesday and then Wed you can wear bra A again

I wear a lot of Coobie style bras so every time. Regular bras- every 3-4 times.

Hardly ever... plus they rarely get washed on purpose - usually my husband will gather all the laundry around our room and it will (accidentally) get thrown in there.

Don't judge.

Not all that often..if I get super sweaty then I'll wash it, other than that I probably do every couple weeks lol!

Yea....

Not often.

I'm down to one bra at the moment, so yeah not often...

Rarely! DH makes fun of me for it, but they don't smell! Plus too many washes could wear them out, I feel. If they start to smell, I wash them. Not a day earlier.

During the summer I wash after a few uses, just due to that lovely boob sweat. If this was asked in winter, it would be walking itself to the washing machine

Probably once a week- but I will wear 1 all week long- then wash it. More in the summer because I get sweaty. My husband just throws them in the washer and dryer- so its not like a take great care of them anyways!

I wear my bras for a few days unless I get really sweaty in them then new bra manana. I wash all my worn bras once a week.

Now I wash them after 2 wears because my boobs leak and I wear them 24/7 so I feel like more than 48 hrs in them is too much. Before I had boob issues I'd wash them maybe once every 2 weeks or so (I had 2-3 I'd rotate between). Although I also didn't wear a bra all that terribly much since I worked at home.

So I'm the only one who washes after every use b/c it's SOOOOO hot here in Asia and my bras are soaked (as if it just came out of the washer) after I get home from being out for just a couple of hours. I walked two blocks to my dog's vet's office this morning and came back with my bra about 30% wet. It's just so gross that I don't want to wear it again! Back in the states I'm probably in the 2-3 times or once a week category though. I need to find some breathable, supportive, and wireless bras. Anyone know of a brand?

@TheSwissWifeStyle: I could say the same thing! I used to work at American Eagle, so I have a ton of bras that I've gotten on clearance. So I'm a bit of a hoarder but I wear 75% of them on a regular rotation. I'm, also, small chested so mine don't get real sweaty and if they do, I wash them.

I was just reading about how frequently to wash common things on Pinterest - bedding, jeans, bras, pillows, etc.

For bras it was a pretty long time in between washes, but to have a rotation so the elastic can re-shape over at least 24 hours.

It depends with mine- nursing, leaking, and spit up... washings happen much more frequently right now. Usually I'll wash after a good house cleaning or yard work (SO hot here and many projects around the house and yard), so I keep that in mind with my rotation.

@twodoghouse: I swear, E knows when I'm wearing a clean bra and takes such great joy in nailing it with spit up! Old bra- nope, no spit up, but he never misses christening a new one with curdled milk

Somewhere in between once a week and hardly ever. I wear nursing pads 24/7 so I reason that they can't be getting that funky

Regular bras (anything with a molded cup/padding) I wash maybe once a month.
Sports bras get washed after every wear if I work out in them.

This thread has made me feel heaps better! I wash mine every couple of weeks and just assumed everyone else washed each use!

Yet again I'm answering after every wear, I cannot cope with the feeling of putting on worn/dirty clothes. Bleugh.
I wash every single piece of clothing after one wear, including towels after one shower. I don't have OCD or anything, I just like to have clean clothes.
I also wash DH clothes after one wear, it drives him mad. Haha
