This calculator helps you estimate when it's time to replace your lingerie. You'll input the type of garment (e.g., bra, panties), how often you wear it, and how you care for it. Based on general guidelines for lingerie lifespan, the calculator provides an estimated replacement date, helping you keep your collection fresh and functional.

Even the highest-quality lingerie doesn't last forever. Elastics stretch out, fabrics lose their shape, and underwires can break. Continuing to wear old, unsupportive lingerie can lead to poor fit and discomfort. This calculator helps you be mindful of your lingerie's lifespan, ensuring you replace items when they are no longer providing the support and comfort you need.

The result is an estimated date by which you should consider replacing your lingerie item. This is not a strict expiration date, but rather a helpful reminder to assess the condition of your piece. If your bra's band is stretched out, the cups are misshapen, or the fabric is thinning, it's time to say goodbye, even if it's before the calculated date. Use this tool as a prompt to regularly evaluate your collection.

• When you buy a new bra, write the purchase date on the tag with a permanent marker to help you track its age.
• Having at least 3-5 bras to rotate through will significantly extend the life of each one.
• Don't wear the same bra two days in a row. This gives the elastic a chance to rest and recover its shape.
• Inspect your lingerie each time you do laundry for signs of wear and tear.
• Letting go of old lingerie makes room for new pieces that will make you feel supported and confident.
