how often do you change your bras?

theotherjess · Chanel

I have four, plus a strapless, and I do laundry once a week. So I wear them about twice before washing (hope that isn't gross...I promise they do not smell or anything!).

CarrieS · Marc Jacobs

I usually wear a different one everyday, but I re-wear them quite often before I actually hand wash them. I too lazy to do it too often, so each bra probably gets worn about 6 times before washing...

Sandy · Kate Spade

I change bras everyday, and I wash them after each wearing. I usd to hand wash them, so I'd wear them two-three times before washing them, but then I discovered Woolite bra wash bags... you just stick a bra or two (they hold one on each end) in the bag and toss them in the washing machine. I

these things, they make doing laundry so much easier.

berryahou35 · Dooney & Bourke

it depends on what I'm wearing. I don't really pay attention to exactly which one I wear, I only pay attention to the style of the bra

cat · Marc Jacobs

I change mine every day ,but sometimes I will wear one twice before washing it.

I wash them once a week.

wicked · Coach

I wear each bra for two consecutive days, then put it in the laundry

I'm lazy too so I wear them a few times a week and then throw them in the wash later. I probably do the same as Carrie and TheOtherJess (so don't feel gross!!).

I'm with Stephanie -- wear once, then wash. I don't hand wash them, though (that would be waaaay too much of a pain). I just machine wash them in cold water and then hang them up to dry.

As a side note, when I was younger, I used to treat them just like any other clothes and machine dry them, but I am amazed at how much longer they last (and how much prettier they stay) when you don't put them in the dryer.

I have about 4, I think... I probably wear them two or three times each (but not if they smell, ovbiously)

I'm the same.

Like Stephanie, I got a lingerie bag. It's made my life so much easier! When I need to wash my bras, I zip them up in the lingerie bag and then stick the whole thing in the washer. It saves me so much time. Plus, my bras don't wear out as much.

zeitgeist4 · Gucci

I was just wondering this weekend what other girls did!!

I wear mine twice, then wash them with my other laundry. I hang dry them. I don't have the patience to hand wash!

I don't feel weird now!

NCshopper · Hermes

I wear mine a few times before washing them. I have about 4 good bras and they get a steady rotation, so I don't wear the same one day after day. I'm kinda lazy too and so I wash my bras after about 2 weeks or so.

conet · BCBG

I wear mine once or twice, machine wash in cold water, then hang to dry.
I try to make them last because it's so hard to find the perfect fit!

tara t · Marc Jacobs

i wear mine a few times and then wash. if they are old, they go in the washer, if they are new and pretty, they are washed in a lingerie bag and air dried.

Dizzy · Marc Jacobs

I change them every day, but sometimes if I need one to go with a particular shirt or something I'll rewear once more before washing. I wash once a week, with woolite in the gentle ycle and airdry

Oh, and I have about 15 of them, but some of those are special0occasion only.

Cricket · Gucci

You're supposed to wash them?

Just kidding. I have 3 lingerie bags and I do laundry CONSTANTLY, so I wash after every wear (or two).

Bastet · Kate Spade

Usually I will wear a bra twice before throwing it in the laundry. Sometimes, if I need to wear a specific bra, I'll fish it out of the laundry basket.

I love lingerie bags, I machine wash my bras and then hang them.

Exactly the same here - I just stick my (4) bras it in the wash in the lingerie bag.

I really need to get some lingerie bags - I am still handwashing and it's a pain. Where did you girls get your lingerie bags?
