There comes a time when it becomes beyond absurd and you begin to see signs that it’s time to shop for a new bra.
Most bras last up to one year, but this depends on a few factors. Proper care and cleaning of the bra is essential to longevity.
How Long Each Type of Bra Lasts
The longevity of a bra depends on the type of material, the purpose of the bra, and how frequently it is worn. Most manufacturers recommend that women keep a few different bras and alternate them daily to increase longevity. Some bras, such as full support bras, are expected to be worn more often than other bras.
Everyday Bras
Bras worn by women on a regular basis, such as the training bra, light bra, padded bra, and full bra usually last between 1.5 to 2 years when properly cared for and rotated out on a daily basis. If the bra is rotated with three to four other bras it will last much longer. However, rotating one or two bras daily will shorten the lifespan of each garment a great deal. It is time to toss the bra when the elastic is stretched out or the bra feels loose when worn. This means it is no longer providing necessary support. Severely stained or worn out bras should also be tossed.
While these bras aren’t worn as often as everyday bras, they do wear out quickly. This is because they are made only of a cotton/spandex blend, and see heavy usage during workouts. These bras start to lose their supportive elasticity after six months to a year, depending on how often they are worn. They should be tossed when the elastic begins riding up in the back, or the bra no longer keeps the breasts from moving during a workout. Stained, warped sports bras should also be replaced.
Adhesive Bras
These bras aren’t worn very often, so they can last for a very long time. Since they are used infrequently, their longevity is measured in number of times worn. Adhesive bras and other silicon based products for the bust can usually be worn up to 90 times with proper care. When the bras start to crease, tear, or look flattened, it is time to replace them.

Signs To Replace Bra
1. It used to be white
After time and many wears and washes,white get dingy and colors fade.If your bra is no longer shiny and new ,it is time to replace it .
2.Supportive or support-less
A proper fitting bra size is like your best friend.It should always support you.If you start feeling let down.time to let it go.
3.Wired out
Underwires are actually quite comfortable .If yours feels more like a torture device,it has probably been through one too many tumbles or is the wrong bra size.
4.Making adjustments
We love that you can adjust the straps for a perfect fit and we wish all tank tops and camis came so well equipped ,but after a lot of wears ,even that feature can become inadequate .
5.Over-exposed
Constantly fooling with slider thingy to make it feel the right bra size ? Don't bother .Replace!How many guys have seen this bra ?Now add three for the actual number and trade it in for a new model thats a better bra size .
Women need to replace their bras when their bust size changes. This happens when a girl or woman outgrows her training bra, becomes pregnant and start developing milk, or gains or loses weight. Changes in size can make a bra too loose to provide support or too tight to wear comfortably. Obviously, bras that are damaged in any way should be replaced.
