Clicky Poll: Sports Bras

I'm in the market for new sports bras and I was just curious...[Poll]

I admit I'm replacing mine just because they are at least two years old. One might be six years old. They have held the compression really well, plus they are so darn expensive. They are starting to look really gross though.

I don't necessarily go out of the way to replace them, but I usually get new ones every few months.  I usually know they need a race when the straps aren't holding me, um, "up" as well. lol

When the elastic wears out. I buy fairly cheap ones (under $20), so they're not that horrible to replace.

The only reason I haven't kept the ones since high school is because they were cotton/spandex Champion bras that were already like 15 years old when I retired them.

I've got three hardcore running bras and 2 softcore C9 lifting/XT bras in my rotation, for laundry once a week. I pamper my workout clothes so I can't see having to ditch any of them for many moons to come.

I have 3 C9s that are going on 2 years and aren't showing signs of wear at all. I'll replace them when they start to allow too much bounce.

I have 6 bras in rotation. I don't have a time-frame . . . it's just when they start to not hold me up/compress as well. Mine are Champions and I get them at Kohl's for about $30 each (though, last year, for every one I purchased, I got one free, so that was awesome.)

When my elastic wears out to the point my boobs hurt after a run... then I'll downgrade the sports bra to lifting.  When it wears down to where it doesn't do anything... I'll throw it out. 

I also don't dry them in the dryer so they last a lot longer.

This is my strategy, except usually downgrade to yoga or home workouts. But I've bought quite a few cheap ones, so I don't really care if they need to be tossed out.

When they don't fit anymore.  I will wear them until they're pretty ratty.  They're so damn expensive.

I get new ones when the ones I love are on sale. It's not often.

I've been losing like 2 pounds a week, and I'm thinking I'm going to have to replace them before they are otherwise "dead" because the bands are getting so loose.

 

I just need a bunch of new bras in general.  Le sigh...
