Everyday Bras vs. Sports Bras: How Often to Wash

A survey of 200 women found most do not wear the same bra daily, and about one third wash their bras every two weeks. Some wait even longer. This works if you rotate several bras, which helps maintain shape and prevents stretching.

Sports bras need extra care. Because they face sweat and moisture during exercise, they can trap bacteria and odors. Wash sports bras after every workout to keep them clean and prolong their life.
