How often do you wash/change your bras?

[grumpy]

Hi ladies, or gents with an opinion like my grumpy hubby,

how long do you wear a bra before washing it? I argue with its delicate features and that it doesn't get that "dirty" that it doesn't need to be washed or changed that often, but grumpy hubby thinks it's "underwear." Wanted to know what everyone else out there does?

PS i love the Tide bra bag - it has 2 zippable sides and I also put panty hose and other delicates in there. Look out for it - it's great.

Because I'm hard to fit, it's not unheard of for me to spend over $50 for one bra, so I can't afford to have a drawer full. I wear mine for about 3 days before putting in the laundry.

Mine also get worn about 3 times before washing on average.

Since the weather has been soo HOT mine have been changed daily as they're drenched in sweat. Can't stand the smell of the funk to re-wear them again. This also depends on what kind of bra of course. If it's strapless I have probably worn it for a special occassion and likely will be worn multiple times before a wash!

every day.... and I make sure that I have a hand wash cycle on the washer and use it!

appr. once a week. never EVER put it in the dryer. wash and hang

[smalltowngirl]

Every 2 days. I should really start hand-washing them though. The wires go out on them so quickly

I only wear them once before washing them. Pants and PJs are the only things I wear more than once.

i washed daily in summer and wash by hand, never use washing machine to wash bras

I think I must be gross... I rotate three or four bras over a few weeks and then hand wash and hang to dry. Unless I am super sweaty, like lately with the heat, then it's a one time wear thing.

PS I don't stink, lol.

lol you're not alone! I only own about 2 bras that fit me and Im not wasting money so I can wash my bra. I only ever do hand washing if i absolutly have to it just doesnt feel the same. I really need to go bra shopping soon though, wearing nursing bras at the moment, my oldest is 7!

Daily in the summer. I usually go through two bras in a day (LOL) because I jog every day and I ain't wearin' that sports bra after a 5km run.

I don't like the funk that summer seems to give me. I'm a smallish girl but maybe I just sweat more than the average person or something. lol. In the winter I will go 2 or 3 days for the non-sports variety....but always daily for the sports bra. haha. Freakin sports bra would walk away on its own if I didn't.

In the summer I only wear them once before washing them but in the winter usually 2 days.

Grumpy - The Tide bra bag sounds great. Keep my eye out for one of those.

I always hand wash my delicates...
Since the Rad DB Mastectomy and rebuild I don''t HAVE to wear a bra day in and out ( WOOO HOO )
I usually wear one/don't/wear diff one/don't b/c hand wash and hang dry in the Bathroom it isn't much of an issue for me.
Bought a Woolite awhile back for $1.47 when RCSS had that sale w/coupon
and I fill up an empty bottle and keep it under the Bathroom Sink so its always in reach!
1 capful (about a teaspoon) per sink load!
Saves $$ and our bathroom smells pretty for sometime after

Oh, if we're talking sports bra, yeah that's a definite daily thing otherwise it could walk on its own - running 10k in 30+ humidity doesn't help the cause.
