We all have those bras that we love to wear and as we speak, you could be wearing it. You probably also have that favourite go-to bra that blends in with every outfit. I know you love that bra but, how often do you wash it? How often should you wash it anyway?

Bras are intimate garments and they’re always in close contact with our bodies. This means that they accumulate a lot of bacteria, sweat, oil buildup and dead skin cells. I’m sure that if you were to see that overly-worn bra under a microscope, you’d wash and disinfect it immediately. Maybe even throw it away.
