Hi lkmax,
I agree with you,It is important to wash your bra daily, specially in summer season. I have a large collection of bras and I can't wear same bra on the couple of days without wash it.
Thanks!!

The OP should have disclosed her location in the first post.

OP, as a fellow Southerner, I get it. And air conditioning doesn't help when you sweat walking from the car to your destination.

People act like they have never heard of hot, humid climates - or mesh laundry bags.

You do realize that they sell mesh laundry bags specifically to wash bras in the machine?

I also live in a hot, humid climate and it's like that for 6-8 months out of the year. You do sweat a lot even walking from your home to your car and then waiting for the a/c to kick in when the car is a million degrees from being in the sun. If I sweat in it, it gets washed after one wearing. If I didn't I might wear it 2-3 times but never more than 3 times and then I hand wash it or if I don't have time I put in a mesh laundry bag. I have never, ever put a bra in the wash without one. They are too expensive to have them torn up in the machine.


Can't believe we are up to 30 pages on this thread.

Wow, it sounds like it’s possible not to wash my underwear, cause I’m using everyday pads and my panties don’t get dirty. All of my bras are machine-washed and I use special containers for bras when I put them into the washing machine in order not to damage them in the process of washing. But… Well… the question is actually dumb… Why are you that interested in other women’s bras?

Because the more you wash them, the quicker they wear out. How do you even know how often anyone washes their bras??

Yep. Same. Cheap bras don't do it for me anymore. I miss my body of 20 years ago

If your breasts are getting so dirty/sweaty during the course of a normal day (unless you live in the tropics and/or do manual labor for 10 hours) that your bras are filthy and smelly after one wear, you should definitely see a doctor.
I wear my bras more than once and I assure you I do not smell bad (I have plenty of friends and family who would let me know). Likewise, I have never been near a woman who had smelled bad from her bra being worn a second day.
This is such an American thing--most of the world does not wash everything after one wear, except for underpants.
Not all Americans wash their clothing after one wearing, unless it gets dirty when its being worn. Underwear excepted, of course. Clothes last much longer when they aren't washed so frequently.
