How many bras do you own?
We have a question in the inbox asking how many bras (excluding sports bras) it is normal to own, so I thought I'd poll the womenfolk of this forum. Men, please don't respond. It isn't helpful.

Re: How many bras do you own?
I am ashamed to report that I still own only one. They're expensive!

Re: How many bras do you own?
I have two that are exactly the same (I just switch off weeks to make sure they get laundered in a timely manner).
Re: How many bras do you own?
I am including the ones I actually wear regularly (and excluding sports bras, per your request). I technically own others but they don't fit right and I just haven't gotten rid of them yet.
Re: How many bras do you own?
Oh good, I don't have to answer. That could've been incriminating.

Maybe for you... that's what you get for having expensive (and expansive) breasts!bobtheenchantedone wrote:I am ashamed to report that I still own only one. They're expensive!

Re: How many bras do you own?
This 10+ business is simply staggering to me. Do they all serve different functions, or is it a color thing?
Re: How many bras do you own?
Both. Really, I only frequently wear 4 (nude, black, coral, and purple plaid), but I like to match my underwear, and different ones are more or less lined. I also like the bra color to be close to the top color.Genuine Article wrote:This 10+ business is simply staggering to me. Do they all serve different functions, or is it a color thing?
Re: How many bras do you own?
I also own at least 25 sweaters, about 8 of which are pink ... I only wear one pair of jeans frequently, though.
Don't bras start smelling weird if you have one or two???

Re: How many bras do you own?
How do you just do two? Mine stretch out as I wear them regularly and I have to wash them to get them back to proper fit. Is this just another side effect of my little ribcage? But really, how do you do that?

Re: How many bras do you own?
I own five and I hate every. single. one. Guys, nursing bras are the WORST.
Re: How many bras do you own?
mine do stretch out over a few years, but I don't have much breast to stretch them out with.

Re: How many bras do you own?
I have a black one (getting stretched and the clasp has gone wonky) and two identical white ones that are now really off-white and not the greatest fit, either. I guess it's time to get new ones. But again, they're expensive. Also I want to get fitted so I get ones in a good size, but don't want to get fitted because it seems awkward and like so much more social work than just doing it by myself.

Re: How many bras do you own?
I just wash my bra fairly frequently. I do it overnight, too, so I switch into a sports bra with my pajamas and then my bra's ready to wear again in the morning.

Re: How many bras do you own?
Besides nursing/maternity/sports bras, I have 4. But really only 3 that I rotate through. The 4th closes in the front, and I'm not sure how I ever thought that would be a good idea. The third is also a little stretched out and has a weird dimple in one of the cups. Kinda looks like an off-center nipple. So really only 2 I wear often.

Re: How many bras do you own?
I own 10+ right now, but that's only because there was a REALLY good clearance sale not too long ago on my favorite bra website (figleaves.com) and bras in my size are normally hard to find and expensive. So I stocked up. I think I had 4 before I did that.Genuine Article wrote:This 10+ business is simply staggering to me. Do they all serve different functions, or is it a color thing?
Re: How many bras do you own?
I answered for my wife because I'm proud of myself for knowing how many she owns. Although I admittedly may have missed a couple or several.
