Maximizing the lifespan of your everyday bras
January 21st, 2008Your everyday bras will give you comfort and support for a full 12 months if (and it’s a big “if”) you do the following:
- Purchase great quality bras
- Rotate at least four bras so that each of them gets equal rest and wear
- Launder them with love and NEVER use the tumble dryer
- Don’t use them for working out; that’s for sports bras
- Store them neatly to preserve the molded shape of the cups
Purchasing fabulous bras can set you back a pretty penny and it’s therefore worth the effort to make them last. Yet another way to increase the ROI of your wardrobe.
By the way, Nicole started a very informative thread on bras in the forum. Be sure to take a look.

How long do you expect sports bras should last?

This is hard to say Patience because it depends on how often you use them, how much you perspire in them and how many you have in rotation. Some women need to get new sports bras annually while others are able to hold onto them longer. I’ve had my current ones for 2 years and they are still in superb condition, which probably means that they don’t get enough use!
