I recommend that a bra should be worn for no more than 8-10 hours each day. This is the ideal amount of time to ensure proper support and comfort, while also allowing your skin to breathe and preventing any potential discomfort or irritation. It is important to remember that wearing a bra for extended periods of time can lead to chafing, indentations in the skin, and discomfort.

It is crucial to rotate between different bras throughout the week in order to give each bra a break. Wearing the same bra every day can cause it to lose its elasticity faster and decrease its overall lifespan. By rotating between at least 3-4 different bras during the week, you will prolong their durability and ensure they continue providing adequate support.

One common misconception is that wearing a bra constantly will help prevent sagging breasts. However, this is not necessarily true. While wearing a supportive bra during physical activities can help reduce strain on breast tissues, there is no scientific evidence proving that constant wear prevents breast sagging. In fact, some studies have shown that not wearing a bra may actually strengthen chest muscles and improve natural support.

A less-known fact about wearing bras is that they should be hand washed with mild detergent instead of machine washed in order to maintain their shape and extend their longevity. Knowing this can save you money by reducing the frequency of having to replace worn out bras due to improper care.

I hope this information helps. Remember, taking proper care of your undergarments ensures they continue supporting you in all the right ways!
