Everyday Bras vs. Sports Bras: Cleaning Schedule and Maintenance

A survey of 200 women revealed that most do not wear the identical bra daily, and roughly one-third wash their bras every two weeks. Others clean them even less frequently. This is acceptable if you have multiple bras to alternate, which helps retain their shape and prevents stretching.

Sports bras, conversely, require more care. Because they are subjected to sweat and moisture during workouts, they can collect bacteria and odors. It is vital to wash sports bras after every exercise session to keep them hygienic and prolong their usefulness.
