How often do you wash your bras?

anonymousgirl · 06-26-2009, 12:02 PM

I'm slowly learning how often I SHOULD wash my bras, but how often DO you wash yours?

tabby15208 · 06-26-2009, 12:33 PM

Basically, whenever I do laundry, which doesn't really answer the question!

I have to use the laundromat so I have like a gazillion pairs of socks, undies and bras so I can postpone this as long as possible. I wear one for a few days and then switch to another. It's hard to tell since different bras are for different outfits and moods, ya know? Like today I had to find a white one for my white shirt, or some days you want the girls on display and others, you don't.

So I would say about 3-5 days of wear per bra. After that it gets thrown in the wash.

I voted 3-5 uses I don't sweat much even with my boobs being so big lol I just think after that many times you should wash your bra's

i wash mine mostly every other day but sometimes everyday because where i live is tooo damn hot! it gets over than 100 degrees F

NuggetNoodle · 07-07-2009, 09:48 AM

its hard to say because its not like i wear the same bra consecutively! i switch it up like every day!

Katalina · 07-07-2009, 09:04 PM

For me it's after wearing my bra for usually 3 days. I use a laundry bag when I put them in the washing machine, and always hang them out to dry.

SierraF · 08-15-2009, 08:41 PM

I hand wash and hang to dry after about 3-5 uses per bra. After destroying many a bras in the Army's wonderful only time to use the washing machine lifestyle I hand wash and hang to dry.

kitsta · 08-15-2009, 09:28 PM

i voted 3-5 wears, like some of the others said i dont wear the same bra all the time so im guessing the frequency of the washes but when i do i put them in a laundry bag and hang them to dry after shaping the cups gently...

TheT · 08-16-2009, 08:41 AM

Like a few here, 3-5 uses and then I handwash. I am still in the lovely post-op bra I have to wear and have just 3 of them.

dizir · 03-01-2010, 09:27 PM

I have alot of bras i like to match them with my undies but I wash like once a week

jrok123 · 03-01-2010, 09:41 PM

I HAVE A QUESTION

tatariffic · 03-01-2010, 09:52 PM

I voted every other use. In the winter, I prolly wash every 3-5, but summer here in southern Arizona, I have to wash at least every other day, and after every use if we do anything outdoors cuz it's super hot!

You have to go back to the threads and click on one of the categories on the right side of the page. Or go to the forums link and I think they will all be listed on the left. You can't be inside a thread.

Ok ladies.. YIKES!!! I only wash mine like every 2 or 3 months!!! I feel really bad admiting that...

I don't know, they don't seem too dirty to me...

So what's the answer?? How often SHOULD you wash your bras?

Iris · 03-01-2010, 11:51 PM

I now have more bras than I can wear in two months!
But I do have my favs

I have a basket I keep ones I have worn and wash them when I do laundry which ends up being about 3-5 wearings. I don't want to wash them too much cause the washer is rough on them.
In the summer if it's sweaty they only get worn ONE day!!!
They all get a special lil bag and are line dried.
It's a bit of trouble but after waiting all these years to actually need bras it is all worth it!

mollyuk · 03-02-2010, 01:52 PM

I am in bra wonderland right now and can't get enough. I have so many it's hard to remember when they have been worn and how many times. But... I would say about 3-5 times and then wash. Some by hand some in the machine.

Qfa001 · 03-02-2010, 04:58 PM

I handwash my bras every 3-4 uses as I don't sweat much if I do sweat then it would be washed after every use.

Thats what I do too!

jolee · 03-04-2010, 01:34 PM

Well, let's see. If I wear a particular bra and then remove it at bed time, etc, where does it usually go HMMMMMMMM. Back in my lingerie drawer or in the hamper. Usually back in the drawer unless it's been worn more than 4 times, then it's time to wash. Either hand wash, or machine wash but hung dry. Unless they are the everday cotton ones, then I put in the drier on low/med.

Littlewitch X · 03-07-2010, 05:32 PM

I wear a bra literally 24 hours a day, except for a time for shower and beach, of course. Sooo...my answer is, I only wear it for 1 day and then it goes to my laundry basket.

BarbieRocker · 03-07-2010, 07:18 PM

I put 6-9 uses, I have soft cup bra's to sleep in
and I only wear certain ones to work. and they come off as soon as I get home.
I cant say they get dirty/sweaty at work. so those- depends on when I get my laundry done.

then I have my going out bra's so if I dance up a sweat I will throw them in the wash right away.
