How Often Should I Buy New Underwear? Here’s the teysha Ultimate Guide!
Let’s be real—underwear bras and bralettes are one of those things we wear every single day, but we don’t always think about replacing it… until it’s too late! Ever had a pair with stretched-out elastic, a tiny hole, or a mystery stain that just won’t go away? Yep, it’s probably time for a refresh. New undies and bra’s also make you feel amazing ! We know teen girls love new teysha undies and bra’s, they are soft, stylish and give them a little extra boost of confidence every day.
So, how often should you really buy new underwear? Let’s break it down!
1. The General Rule: Every 6-12 Months
The experts say you should replace your everyday underwear every 6 to 12 months. Why? Because even with regular washing, underwear fabric stretches out, loses shape, and collects bacteria over time.
Keep it: If your underwear is still in good shape, you can keep wearing it
Time to swap: If the elastic is loose, fabric is thinning, they are stained or it’s just not comfy anymore, it’s time to replace them!
2. Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Undies
Not sure if your underwear is past its prime? Here are some clear signs that it’s time to say goodbye:
Stretched-out waistbands – If your undies don’t stay up, they’re no longer doing their job and let's face it, it's also not a good look !
Faded colour or fabric thinning – When your cute undies are looking more grey than pink, it’s time for a refresh. Who wants ugly undies?
Holes or loose stitching – No explanation needed…
They don’t fit well anymore – If they’re too tight or riding up constantly, ditch them!
They just don’t feel fresh anymore – Even with the best of washing, underwear collects bacteria over time. If they feel off, replace them! Bacteria is YUCK !
3. Different Types of Underwear, Different Lifespans
Not all underwear wears out at the same rate. Here’s a quick guide:
• Everyday Cotton Undies: Replace every 6-12 months
• Sports & Workout Undies: Replace every 6 months (since sweat and movement wear them out quickly)
• Bralettes & Bras: Replace every 6-9 months if worn regularly, or sooner if the elastic is gone, these provide no support and are so uncomfortable !
4. How Many Pairs of Underwear Should I Have?
A good rule of thumb is to have at least 10-12 pairs of underwear in rotation. That way, you’re not over-wearing the same few pairs, and they’ll last longer!
- 10 -12 pairs of comfy, everyday undies
- A couple of cute, feel-good pairs for special occasions!
5. How to Make Your Underwear Last Longer
