On average, how often do you wear your bras? Again, this is on average.. not including those times where you get extra sweaty or anything!

In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!

    I said 4-6. Basically once every couple weeks. I only rotate a few bras.

    Every wear. For some reason I break out from the skin oils after more than one wear. I'm gross :(

    Mine are far too expensive (for size, not fanciness) to wash them regularly.

    Wow! I'm impressed, @GoodWolf! Bummer on the breakouts though :( So either you own a whole bunch of bras or you do laundry all the time! :)

    I only have a couple that fit nicely (and because they are far too expensive to buy in multiples), so I have to hand wash a couple times a week. I also change into one of my crappy ones when I get home to "preserve" the good ones.

    Well, a bit of both. I'm a no-underwire t-shirt bra kind of girl so at least they're not terribly expensive! ;) I do have to do laundry every week or I don't have bras though. I've been known to wear a bra inside out to stretch it another day...

    I have to, it's not freedom for me, it's discomfort without a bra!

    I clicked on 4-6 because that's my honest answer, but I won't lie. I was secretly mortified and thought everyone else would be in the 2-3 range. I'm feeling so much more normal and in good company!

    I only wash them when I feel like they need it (look/smell dirty) and I also rotate between a couple bras.

    I wash mine after every wear.  Since I have to double bag them for running, I wil re-use yesterday's bra for today's workout.  So maybe that counts as 2 times.

    I switch between 4 bras and they have to be hand washed. I generally wash them more frequently in the summer than the winter. So somewhere between 5-10 wears.

    I typically have 4-5 bras in my rotation, so I only wash every 2-3 weeks (after they've all been worn a handful of times).

    pr warning
    I'll have to wash every week now that I needed to get a couple of bras in a bigger size since my boobs grew; I've only got 2 to swap between now.
