Weird Sports Bra ?'s

I own lots, and wash them every time I wear them. But I don't need the expensive ones, so I can just buy a 3-pack of the Champion ones at Costco. (Totally envious of your UA bra. I'm still trying to pick up a couple more shirts, but waiting for sales is a pain in the butt.)

When I only had two, I still washed every time, but my family produces a lot of laundry. If I were on my own, I'd totally go with the rinse-and-dry between wearings, maybe with a little vinegar to keep the stink away.

I have four that fit me, I wash them after I wear them when I have enough clothes for another load. So I wash my sports bras at least twice a week. I do not wear my sports bras again until I have washed them. I want at least seven sports bras.

I sweat like a *kitten* in church, there is no way I'd wear mine more than once. I have 10 - 15 sports bras, I sometimes wear up to 2 a day, depending on my workout schedule. If I exercise in the morning and again later in the day I wear 2 completely different outfits head to toe, I don't like to put wet clothes on my body.

I don't know how many I have, but it isn't nearly enough. I may have 5, but on at least 2 of them, I have no clue what I was thinking when I bought them. I must've thought they were cute, but they suck. I do spend a bit more to get good supportive ones now. Can't stand to feel bouncy when I workout. And I wash them after every wear. They're always drenched and it grosses me out.

I own 8 and work out 6 times/week...although some of them are literally wearing through so I'll have to go shopping soon. We do laundry once a week - 1 load specifically for workout clothes, 1 or 2 loads everything else. I also don't send my running clothes (including sports bras) through the dryer which seems to help with longevity. (I can't wear cotton bras - no support and I sweat WAAAAAY too much to put up with that absorbency on my skin!)

I tend to buy mine on runningwarehouse.com from the sale section (I have gotten some EXCELLENT sports bras for $16 that way!) and returns have free shipping if it won't work out for you. The only problem with buying from the sale section is that you can rarely reorder if you really like a style...

I have 8 of them and under armour is my favorite because of my cup size; they support better and don't leave a rash. I always wash and hang them after every use. I don't sweat a lot naturally but they still get damp, yuck. They last a long time as long as I don't put them in the dryer.

I've got a lot. Like, 20, I think. But I double up because I'm really busty and too cheap to spend money on good bras. And since I'm losing weight, I'm not going to be using them a long time. I've already shrunk a band size or more.

Wearing a 30GG bra size, mine are almost impossible to find, and stupidly expensive. Right now, I only have one. Panache underwire sports bra (costs about $50, which is below average price for bras in that size)... I'm a bad person and only wash it once a week - and I work out six times a week. Oops.

However, I'm losing weight at a rate where I'll be replacing it in two months anyways. When I finally get down to my goal weight I'll probably keep three or four of them and rotate them out.

You're SUPPOSED to hand-wash them :
• Put your sports bras AND regular bras in a tub of warm water mixed with a gentle laundry detergent
• Ignore for 10-15 minutes
• If your bras get especially dirty, rub them gently where they're the most "spoiled"
• If they're really bad, get a soft-bristle toothbrush and gently scrub them where they're dirty.
• Remove water from the tub.
• If bras are padded, gently push against them to force out excess water
• Place bras on a towel, roll up to push out more excess water
• Hang dry

You should be using a lingerie detergent - which is gentle enough that it really doesn't need to be rinsed out. :>

However! I'm lame. I just toss my sports bras (and all other bras... They don't fit anyways) into the washing machine on the handwash cycle, with regular detergent, then hang dry them. Ta-dah!

I have 2 that I wear - both Bali and I love them. I work out 5 days a week and I rinse off every night. I rinse my sports bras off in the shower with me....I usually have enough workout clothes to make it through the week and I wash them on light cycle and hang them up to dry on Sundays...
It I have a light work out and don't sweat I will wear my bra 2X but that doesn't happen very often!

I own a whole basket full of them. When the elastic gets too stretchy- I stop using them.

I have several but there are 3 I reach for CONSTANTLY- I'll slowly fade out my regular ones for that particular type-the are deep v cut down the front- fronsie clasp ones. Super sexy AND supportive for me (I"m a 36C/34D type)... Wal-Mart for like 12 bucks.

Deep cut down the front means I dont' get sweaty nasty stuff on my skin.
win win.

edit- I NEVER dry mine in the dryer- wash and hang dry. Actually that goes for all my super spandexy clothes. bra's and underthings... or my workout capri's.

I LOVE those ones from WalMart! BEST!

I own more sports bras than real bras lol. . .

i have like 17 sports bras verses 10 real bras

reason being i wear a sports bra over my real bra every day, even if i dont work out. because I am a DD and i don't like to jiggle (may sound silly) but yeah

I wash them when I realize I am running low on clean ones

I only wear my Moving Comfort bras, and I have 5 of them. I get about 9 workouts/week, so they get washed a lot. 3 of those workouts are strictly lifting, which is in the gym. If I don't get too sweaty, I'll hang my bra up to air out and wear it the next morning for my cardio - but after that it's soaked and gets washed. They hang to dry. I have kids, so I do a load of laundry every 2 days anyway, but I definitely need some more sports bras!

I own 4. I don't wash them after every use. I wear 'em again twice then I wash them.

I also have 4 and do the same, but have never been a heavy sweat-er. If it got wet with sweat
I'd have to wash it!!
