Whether you lean toward bralettes or traditional bras, every bra eventually wears out. Most bras last 6 to 12 months with regular wear, but the real signal is how the bra fits and feels, not the calendar.
The Band Has Lost Its Stretch
If the band rides up your back or you're hooking it on the tightest set of clasps just to get the support you used to get on the loosest, the elastic has worn out and it's time for a replacement.
The Straps Won't Stay Put
Straps that constantly slip, even after adjusting, mean the elastic has stretched beyond repair. This is one of the clearest signs a bra needs replacing.
Cups Are Gaping, Wrinkling, or Warping
Cups that no longer sit smoothly against your body, or that have started to pucker and lose shape, are no longer providing the support or silhouette they were designed for.
How to Extend a Bra's Life
Rotating between two or three comfortable bras rather than wearing one daily, hand-washing in cold water, and air-drying flat all help elastic last longer between replacements.

Bra Replacement FAQ
How often should you replace your bras?
Most bras last 6 to 12 months with regular wear and proper care. Rotating between a few bras rather than wearing the same one daily can extend that lifespan.
What are the signs a bra needs to be replaced?
A stretched-out band that rides up, straps that won't stay in place, and cups that gape or wrinkle are the clearest signs a bra has reached the end of its life.
