Bra Sharing?

I wouldnt lend bras, unless in an emergency. I think bras mould to your shape, so unless its for a short time the shape of the bra would change.

I never have or would share a bra with my friends. In cases of emergency they maybe with family.

i wouldnt mind sharing bras with one of my mates if they really needs one but my boobs are kinda big so they wouldnt fit in my bras.
i prob wouldnt lend my mates my pants...but if i did then id exspect to recieve them back clean and washed of course

I don't really see much problem with sharing a bra with a friend. None of my friends have the same size boobies as me so I wouldn't do it, but I guess its useful to share if you need a certain colour or style bra which your friend has and you don't!

As for hygiene - as long as its been washed what would it matter!?

me and the girls at uni, cos we've been living on top of each other for so long now, you're just not bothered by things like that. if one of us runs out of clean underwear, its always lent as long as it comes back clean. clothes, bras etc shared. most of my girlfriends wouldn't have a problem if i asked if they had a bra they could borrow. its just one of those things x

I don't have any friends the same size as me but I would probably swap and share if I could. I know friends who have given old bras which are too small/big to other friends. I am missing out!!

No...and I'd never feel comfortable enough to do it.

my friend tried on one of my bra's because she wears floppy ones and wanted to know what it was like - but it was only for about five minutes. i would be a bit worried about lending someone my bra incase it wasnt very washed

I share my bras with my mum as we're the same size and I may need a strapless one or something. I have never but wouldn't mind sharing with other family members and close friends.
It's only like wearing someone elses top.
But knickers ewwwww!! Periods, discharge and other bodily fluids spring to mind. That idea is repulsive!!

My mum has given me some of her old bras as we're around the same size. I find it hard to find bras that actually fit me in the shops & for some reason my mum's bras tend to fit me ok.

I have lent a bra off one of my mates before. I needed a white strapless bra and my best friend lent me hers. Aslong as it's washed before it's given back I don't see a problem.

Reply 34

Never have, but I wouldn't mind doing it... not a big deal.

Not knickers though. Lol. Just no.

Reply 35

I dont think its something I would personally do

I would share a bra with a mate definitely always have to do especially with clear straps - I trust them all and most of them are the same size as me anyway so alls good. However underwear is definitely a no-no.

I don't see why some people find the idea of bra sharing disgusting. Maybe if I asked a friend to lend a bra and she undid the one she was wearing and handed it too me would it be a bit gross.

Me and my mum are the same size and have shared bras in the past. I have also tried on a housemates bra because I needed a strapless black one for a night out. It didnt fit but if it had I would have worn it that night.

I don't see what the big deal about it is. I wouldn't have a problem with it but none of my friends are the same size as me.

I have lent/borrowed knickers and bikinis though when in need. It doesn't bother me, they were washed before I/she wore them and they were washed when they were returned. Clean both ways so what's the big deal.
