Regular Bras vs. Athletic Bras: Washing Schedule and Maintenance A study of 200 women revealed that most do not use the same bra daily, and roughly one-third clean their bras every fourteen days. Others wash them even less frequently. This works if you own multiple bras to alternate, which helps maintain their structure and prevents stretching.

Athletic bras, however, require more care. Since they encounter sweat and dampness during physical activity, they can collect bacteria and odors. It is crucial to wash athletic bras following every workout to maintain cleanliness and prolong their durability.
