How many days do you wear a bra before

coasterqueen wrote: washing it? This was a topic on our local radio station Friday and then today. It was HILARIOUS!!!

So, I'm curious - how many days do you go before washing your bra? Do you wear a different one every day? Do you wear the same one a few days then wash it? What.

Be honest.

ZandersMama replied: depend, if i'm working i'll only wear it once, cause i stink when i get in from work. If im off, 2-3 times before its washed

Jamison'smama replied: I don't usually wear the same one two days in a row but I will often wear them twice before I wash them.

Kaitlin'smom replied: guess it depens, most get washed after 3rd or 4th use cause I dont wear them often, but if they are one of the reg I wash them after 2 wears.

luvbug00 replied: twice if haven't done much in it and once if it's sweaty or somthing.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: oh geez.

I have about 4 than I wear regularly... I wear em a couple times before throwing them in the wash.

The ones that I wear for, ya know, naughty nights... they might get something on them and so those get wasehd after I wear them.

coasterqueen replied: I used to wear them several days before washing, especially if I didn't sweat at all. These days I may wear them twice before washing. I've been addicted to buying bras lately so I have enough to wear one a day for at least a week before washing. I do have one white bra that is my favorite that probably gets worn more than once before washing.

TANNER'S MOM replied: About 3 times usually..unless I am riding, mowing the yard..something sweaty. But then I don't wear my good bra's for that..lol

One thing I hate.. I go tanning sometimes and the lotion has stained my favorite most supportive bra. It's clean but I am afraid if my strap peeks out someone will think it's dirty. I have bleached and bleached it too.

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: Probably three times, unless I leak and get BM on them.

hoosier momma replied: Only once.

grapfruit replied: I'm w/everyone else. A couple times unless I'm doing sweaty stuff.


Ok, how long do you use a towel??

ZandersMama replied:
only once, dont really know why though, your clean when you are using it right?

moped replied: Gosh you guys are good - I do it when I think it needs it.......LOL

I don't do laundry that often - Sundays are my laundry day

Our Lil' Family replied:
LOL me too Jen. My bras are expensive so I don't have very many...about 4 that I rotate so I wear them probably 3 or 4 times before washing.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I have no idea! To be honest, I don't wear a bra that often. I normally wear my sports bras (that are washed after each wear, btw ) My nicer bras get washed when I think about it...probably after 3 or 4 wears.

I never use a towel more than once. I should probably think more about washing my bras after each wear, huh?

Do tell, Karen. What else did they say on the radio about washing your bra?

Jackie012007 replied: I only have a few really good padded push-up bras from VS, I wear those when I want to give the girls a nice lift!!! Those get washed as needed, because they have to be hand-washed and it's a pain in the butt.

Other than that, I have the cheapie bras that are unpadded and I wear those with a sports bra over them - I'm very chesty and I need the added support, especially chasing kids all day long. I have a TON of those bras so they only get worn once each. I also tend to wear a sportbra over the VS bras, too. I SOOOOO long for a boob reduction!!!

coasterqueen replied:
The ladies said after 2 or 3 washes, but some went as long as a week without washing it as long as they didn't sweat. The guy host said it was completely disgusting and you should go no more than 2 or 3 wears before washing, but really should wash after each wear. Most of the women blamed it on the fact that once they find a comfortable bra it's the only one they wear. I, myself, have a comfortable bra so I just bought several just like it.

I hang dry all my bras so I usually do wash them after one or two wears at the most.

grapfruit replied: I use a towel for a while (to answer my own question). Tim REFUSES to use a towel twice (probably just to be a PITA) Little does he know after he goes to work I hang them up to dry and refold his towel and put it on top of the pile so he uses it again!

I thought about it and I probably wear one 4 days, maybe not in a row, but at a stretch. I usually snift them to make sure they don't smell. I hang mine to dry too, so I usually like to stretch out washings if possible.

coasterqueen replied: I used to, before living with Dh, use a new towel every day. Then when we started living together he thought we should use the same towel for a week. Then I started freaking out about mold and such and I now wash our towels daily.

luvmykids replied:
Me too I'm so relieved I'm not the only one

My3LilMonkeys replied: I have 3 bras that I rotate regularly and they probably get washed once a week....so 2 or 3 times each, sometimes more if I get behind on laundry.

Calimama replied: Everyday I put on a new one. I don't know why, I just take off my clothes and throw them in the hamper at the end of each day.

MyBrownEyedBoy replied:
Same here. But I only own 2 that I like to wear. I hate bra shopping.

~Roo'sMama~ replied: I usually wear mine twice before washing them, unless it's sweaty and then I'll wash it after only one day. Although I must admit that there are times when I wear the same on for longer because I don't have a clean one, so I have to wear one that is dirty until the other one gets washed. I only have 2 bras that are comfortable so they are the only ones I wear. I long for the days when I was a 36 B and I had a whole drawer full of bras that fit!

Bamamom replied: I wear mine 2-3 days unless I leak. Towels get used for 2-3 days as well.

bawoodsmall replied:
OMG CASEY THAT IS GENIUS! Dh wont use the towel twice. He is so paranoid about mildew. He says everything smells like mildew. The bra situation. Twice is all I can do and I kinda feel gross doing it. I also dont have very many I like so they have to stretch. Speaking of that has anyone actually got fitted. Can I ask that or am i supposed to start a new thread? I seriously dont know

My2Beauties replied: I use my bras probably 2-3 times sometimes 4 times without washing I have 2-3 comfortable bras that I can wear more often than others so some of them go a long time without being washed because I may wear them only once in a blue moon.

As far as towels we wash them after every use. We have a lot of towels in our house so we usually never run out, we probably have 2-3 loads worth of towels (and we have that oversized washer and dryer set). I will say this, towels do stink very badly if you leave them sit out after being used, so this is why I wash them.
