How Often Should You Replace Your Bras?

How Often Should You Replace Your Bras?

Answer:
Experts recommend replacing everyday bras every 6 to 12 months, depending on how often they are worn.

 

Why It Matters:
Over time, bras lose elasticity and no longer give the support or shape you need. Signs it’s time to replace:

  • Straps keep slipping even after tightening

  • The band feels loose on the tightest hook

  • Cups start to gape or wrinkle

 

Tip from Our Fit Expert:
Rotate between at least 3 to 4 bras so each one lasts longer. Hand wash or use a lingerie bag on a gentle cycle to extend their life.
