Bra wear and tear
How many bras do you have in regular rotation? How long before you start hooking on the second or third hooks because the band is getting stretched out? What is your toughest, longest lasting bra? How often do you wear your favorite bra each week?

I have laundry issues (I refuse to hand wash and decline to wash bras in my public, apartment building machine) so I own 15 to 20 daily bras at any given time so that I can wear three or four in a week and still only wash once a month to six weeks, when I visit mom. I find I can go down one hook every six months of so, depending on brand, of course. Most bras will last me two to three years where they become grungy, non-work bras for the last six months of their lives. Because I have only been really looking for the right sized bras for a year or so, I have no idea which will last the longest.
All my bras are so different when it comes to band tension. I usually get six months of wear before noticing the fit start to change just from wear, but usually by then my weight has changed anyway. The part of the bras that wear out first for me are the wire channels, especially on bras too wide for me. My Comexims show no signs of wear whatsoever, amazingly.
