Many people keep their bras much longer than they should, and risk health problems as a result
Lingerie brand Curvy Kate has enlisted the help of a bra expert to explain when you should buy a new bra. It’s not uncommon for women to continue using their bras for an extended period of time, possibly without being fully aware of the potential health risks.
Katie said: “If you are wearing your bra regularly, for example, four times a week or more and you don’t look after it as carefully as you should, it will only last for up to 5 months. By this time, the bra will be too stretched to offer you the right amount of support which can negatively affect the support your boobs should be getting. However, if you do take care of your bra it could last up to a year.
“Wearing a bra for longer than recommended can mean that your underwires will start to cause issues such as penetrating through the fabric and digging into your underarms or sternum. As the bra is stretched out, it will have lost shape and elasticity, meaning it won’t be holding your body and lifting your bust as much which can lead to poor posture and lack of self-esteem.
