Most Singaporean girls wash their bras only once a week

A number of Singaporean girls wash their bras only once a week, a new survey has revealed.

Quoting a survey carried out by a news portal, Sin Chew Daily reported that some girls never washed bras at all.

More than 200 women took part in the survey which was conducted somewhere around Feb 9, reports The Star Online.

In the study, 108 respondents said they washed and changed their bras everyday but 42 others said they only changed them once a week. Another six said they washed their bras once a year while six others said they never washed their bras.

Sin Chew Daily quoted the online news writer as saying: "Although some women work in an air-conditioned environment and may not sweat so often, the skin will still turn oily after some time and this will result in body odour. It is thus more appropriate to change the bra every day."

However, a gynaecologist said: "Bras are not like panties which have to be changed daily. But for those who sweat easily, it is advisable to change the bras frequently."
