I have lots of em, but I end up wearing the same two or three all the time - theyre the most comfortable... it means I wear the same one for up to a week, sometimes it gets a little too sweaty, but I dont really want to wear the others...
What do you do?

Normally I buy as many as I can of the the same bra that fits me really well in different colors (I have lets say 6 of the same one). I like to change it every day in the summer becasue I can just feel the sweatiness on it and don't want to wear it twice.

well, I change sizes like every year - with pregnancy, then nursing bras, then losing weight after, then pregnant again..I have a whole store LOL

so I buy like 4 or 5 at a time that fits me well and then I change them every other day, unless I was out all day and was sweating a lot (I don't usually sweat) then I'll change it that day

I buy three new ones every few months and when they wear out and my size changes yet again I get new ones.

hey don't earthlings also wear one at a time ?!?!?! Rolling Eyes

well fyi I need new bras ... for a while now ... I also like to buy 3 at a time ... the problem is I find only the cotton ones to be comfortable so I have to give up on some of the support and those wear at sooner than the girdle type ... which I should probably go and buy some of both ...

maybe I could start a bra collection ... they cost a fortune these days ... embarrassed

They do cost a fortune, but it's worth getting a good one that cost a lot of money, than garbage. At least for me. Rolling Eyes

I own about 35 bras. They take up a whole drawer in my lingerie chest. I use all of them (I think) depending on my clothing... I change every night. I can't imagine wearing the same bra for a week.

Do you mean morning?
Why would you change at night?
I'm assuming you don't sleep in them.

I own probably 10, but in different sizes. But only switch between two that I wear all the time.
Wear the main one for about a week or so until I realize I better wash it. Than I switch to the other one temporarily until "main" one washed and clean.

I also wear one for a week or so and then when it needs to be washed switch. I alternate between 4 bras but I own a bunch more than that. I find that after a few weeks of wearing a brand new bra it stretches out and no longer gives me the lift I need (I'm very small around but very large cups.) so I put it away and have to buy a new one to replace...
Its really annoying to have to constantly buy new ones when they stretch out, any solutions?

I take it off when I undress to shower at night. I usually do sleep in a bra, but not necessarily one I'd wear out or in a chemise with some support.

I apparently have an entire wardrobe of bras- mostly maternity & nursing in different sizes. I probably have about 3 in each size that I wore previously. I seem to be missing any normal bras though. I guess I will have to take care of that when I finish nursing this time around.

I can't believe people wear bras to sleep, but I know some do, though it's so uncomfortable, my girls gotta breathe.

As for wearing a bra for a week, that's a shonda!!! I mean, esp. in the summer, you're sweating in it, yuck! How often does underwear get changed?

I own 4 nursing bras (that fit) and 3 non-nursing. I wear them 3-4 days at a time, and I've given up wearing them at night although I should as long as I'm nursing.

I buy expensive bras because I need them to fit well and give me enough support. I only buy a few at a time and wear them until they get too stretched out or my size changes.

I currently own 4 nursing bras: 2 underwire to wear during the day and 2 without a wire to sleep in. I change them whenever the baby spits up on them while nursing or when I leak, so they get washed pretty frequently. I hate sleeping in a bra, but it's either that or wake up rather damp. Sad

I only wear bras to sleep when my milk comes in. until my supply is not full to overflowing constantly. support is nice. plus I need something to hold my soothies in place.
