How Often Should You Replace Your Bra? The Full Bust Guide

Your bra works harder than almost any other piece of clothing you own—especially if you have a large bust. It lifts, supports, and shapes all day long. But no matter how high-quality, bras don’t last forever.

So how often should you replace your bra? Let’s break it down.

Average Lifespan of a Bra

For most women, a bra lasts about 6 to 12 months with regular use. But for full-busted women, that timeline can be shorter because:

• The fabric undergoes more strain
• Elastic stretches faster under heavier bust weight
• Bands and straps wear out quicker

Signs It’s Time for a New Bra

1. The Band Rides Up
   If the band no longer sits flat around your ribcage, the bra is no longer giving proper support.
2. Straps Keep Falling Down
   When tightening doesn’t help, it means the elastic has lost strength.
3. Cups Lose Shape
   Wrinkling or gaping cups indicate the molded structure has worn out.
4. You Feel Less Supported
   If you’re adjusting constantly, your bra isn’t doing its job anymore.
5. Visible Wear & Tear
   Fraying fabric, broken clasps, or stretched-out bands are clear signals.

How to Make Your Bras Last Longer

• Rotate between at least 3–4 bras so each gets time to rest.
• Wash bras gently—preferably by hand or in a lingerie bag.
• Air dry instead of using a dryer to protect elastic fibers.
