The Cost-Per-Wear Calculator reveals the true value of your lingerie. Simply enter the purchase price of an item and estimate how many times you'll wear it. The calculator divides the cost by the number of wears to give you the 'cost-per-wear.' For example, a $100 bra worn 100 times has a cost-per-wear of just $1, while a $50 bra worn only twice has a cost-per-wear of $25. It's a simple but powerful calculation to assess the real cost of your wardrobe.

This calculator shifts your perspective from 'price tag' to 'value.' It helps you justify investing in higher-quality, more durable lingerie that you'll wear frequently. A pricier item can often be a better financial choice in the long run if it gets a lot of use. This tool encourages mindful shopping, helping you build a wardrobe of beloved, hard-working pieces rather than a collection of unworn bargains. It's about making smarter, more sustainable choices for your wallet and the planet.

The resulting cost-per-wear figure helps you compare different items on a level playing field. A low cost-per-wear indicates a great investment—it's a piece you love and use often. A high cost-per-wear might suggest that a similar purchase in the future isn't the best use of your money. Use this insight to guide your future shopping. Prioritize items that will likely have a low cost-per-wear, ensuring you get the most value from every dollar you spend on your lingerie collection.

• When buying a new item, mentally calculate its potential cost-per-wear before you purchase.
• Don't forget to factor in potential repair costs when considering the total cost of an item.
• For special occasion pieces, consider renting instead of buying to keep the cost-per-wear low.
• Before you buy, think of at least three outfits you can wear the item with.
• Re-evaluate the cost-per-wear of items in your closet periodically. If something has a high cost-per-wear, challenge yourself to wear it more.
